Deportation stayed against Iranian in Canada

Kavoos Soofi arrived in Canada from Iran on a student visa in 2004. Once in Canada, he denounced the Iranian regime and Islam on his facebook page and has applied for refugee status on the grounds that he would be imprisoned, tortured or even kiled if he was returned to Iran.

After an initial rejection of his application and Soofi going on a hunger strike, his appeal was successful and he can stay for now. The reason his application was rejected was because Immigration officials didn't think his facebook postings would place his safety in serious danger.

Immigration Canada officials need to know that any Iranian who denounces Islam or the totalitarian regime in any public way is in jeopardy from the sociopathic Iranian dictatorship.
