Six Iranian Nationals have taken asylum in the UK. They are members of Green Wave Voice, an organisation protesting against the results of the Iranian presidential election. The six men are have recently had their asylum applications refused and been instructed to leave the UK immediately. Despite overwhelming evidence that they would be almost certain to be imprisoned, and even executed, if forced to return to Iran. They have been on hunger strike since 7th April 2011. They have not received support from any organisations. They came to the UK looking for safety, having been tortured in Iran. Please sign this petition urging the Home Office and Theresa May to give them asylum.
