LESBIAN LIKELY TO FACE DEATH IF DEPORTED

LESBIAN LIKELY TO FACE DEATH IF DEPORTED

Sign the petition to help stop the deportation of Pegah Emambakhsh, the Iranian lesbian who is due to be deported back to Iran, and most likely will stoned to death after she is deported next Tuesday 28th.

Pegah Emambakhsh is an Iranian woman who sought asylum in the UK in 2005. Her claim failed. She was arrested in Sheffield and is being held in Yarl's Wood Immigration Removal Centre pending deportation on Tuesday 28 August to Iran. If returned to Iran, Pegah faces imprisonment and possibly stoning to death. Her crime in Iran is her sexual orientation - she was in a relationship with another woman.

Pegah escaped from Iran, claiming asylum, after her partner was arrested, tortured and subsequently sentenced to death by stoning. Her father was also arrested and interrogated about her whereabouts. He was eventually released but not before he had been tortured himself.

Please sign here so Pegah can remain in the UK:
