Zahra Kamalfar and her two kids arrive in Canada today!

Zahra Kamalfar and her two children will arrive in Vancouver, Canada today after being trapped at the transit hall of Moscow international airport for the past 9 months under threat of deportation to Iran.

The International Federation of Iranian Refugees that campaigned to save Zahra Kamalfar and her family from deportation congratulates all those who worked on her behalf.

She is a free woman now!

Zahra Kamalfar and her 2 children, Davood and Anna, will be met by IFIR-Vancouver representatives when they arrive today noon.

Once again international solidarity succeeded in saving lives.

what a funny world we are living in. she was a darvish who converted to christianity, participated in demontrations in 2000/2001, and was arrested in 2004. Of course, you can believe whatever you want, but when something is fishy, it's just fishy...
