Iranians Residing in Belgium Gather Outside Turkish Embassy in Protest Against Deportation of Iranians by Turkey

Iranians residing in Belgium gathered outside the Turkish embassy in protest against the deportation of Iranians by Turkey.

The deportation of political and ideological refugees by Turkey to Iran has raised serious concerns for refugees and their families in Iran. Among them, the lives of four royalist activists named Dr. Hossein Rahimi, Bahram Salimi, Masoud Khassiani, and Nima Alipour are at risk of deportation.

As human rights organizations have expressed concerns in this regard and stated that deporting these individuals to Iran would amount to their imprisonment and massacre by the Islamic Republic government, Iranians living abroad have also expressed concern about unfair deportations.

For this reason, many Iranians living in different countries reacted to the deportation of Iranian refugees residing in Turkey. Additionally, Iranians residing in Belgium gathered outside the Turkish embassy in Belgium in protest of the deportation of Iranians by the Turkish government, and announced their protest by singing the anthem “Iran” and protesting in Turkish language, stating that the Iranian government is terrorist and refugees’ lives will be in danger.
