Security warning from Christian Activists for a Free Iran regarding Iranian refugees in Britain

The organization "Christian Activists for a Free Iran" warned of the need for an urgent review of Britain's immigration policies regarding Iranian refugees.

Following growing concerns about abuse of the asylum system in Europe, the Christian Activists for a Free Iran organization has sent an official letter to British Home Secretary Shabaneh Mahmood, calling for an immediate and decisive review of the process of accepting Iranian asylum seekers.

Referring to what it described as "targeted infiltration by elements affiliated with the repressive structures of the Islamic Republic," the Christian organization warned that some individuals have succeeded in entering the asylum systems in Britain and other European countries by hiding their backgrounds and presenting themselves as victims.

The letter, citing numerous human rights reports, emphasizes the key role of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Iranian security agencies in suppressing protests, arbitrary arrests, and torture of citizens. The authors warn that the possible presence of individuals associated with these structures in free countries could pose a serious threat to security and democratic values.

In this regard, the organization has emphasized that the asylum system must return to "its original mission of protecting real victims," ​​rather than becoming a haven for human rights violators.

The letter also makes a series of practical suggestions and demands to the British government, including strengthening vetting processes, increasing sensitivity to the backgrounds of applicants with military or security backgrounds, and expanding intelligence cooperation with other countries.

It also emphasizes the strict implementation of international obligations, especially the Geneva Convention on Refugees, to ensure that individuals who have participated in crimes or terrorist activities are denied asylum.

A significant portion of the letter is devoted to recent events in the UK. According to the report, during a protest rally on March 22, a group described as “pro-Islamic regime thugs” attacked Iranian protesters, seriously injuring one of the organizers.

The letter also mentions cases of "anti-Semitic attacks" that have added to concerns about the spread of ideological violence in society.

Criticizing the failure to take such attacks seriously in the past, the Christian organization has called on the British government to review police and security guidelines. The letter emphasizes that those who commit violent acts (whether physical, verbal or cyber) against supporters of democracy and freedom should be considered a "threat to national security."

In this context, reference is made to existing legal capacities, including the UK Human Rights Act 1998, which allows the government to impose restrictions in cases related to public security.

Finally, the authors of the letter warn that accepting people who have been granted asylum by providing false information could have serious consequences for public security and trust. The section states that such a practice not only constitutes a “perversion of justice” but also seriously undermines citizens’ trust in the asylum system.

The letter comes as the debate over internal security, immigration and the role of groups affiliated with foreign governments has become a major topic in Britain's political and social landscape, a topic that is likely to remain in the spotlight in the coming months.
