international support, as Madhis case has had too much international Attention,
In a nut shell he came to England on a student Visa to study, his boyfriend in Iran was caught out and executed, and under torture gave Madhis name.
Madhi made an application for asylum in England , but was refused.
He tried to go to Canada , but was caught by the German border police and has been in the Netherlands , who as you know give Iranian gays special group status.
Unfortunately, the UK is demanding him back under the Dublin Treaty, and he is due on the 26th
His fate from then is unknown, but will definitely be deported back to Iran , where undoubtedly face torture and execution.
I have done a petition to the home office and prime minister here and also trying to get Amnesty International involved, as well as putting pressure on the Dutch not to send him back ( Try http://www.minbuza.nl/en/contact and on the left click the tab for \"Contact Visas and Legalization\" )by asking people to Please help out by sending a letter of protest or a plea concerning Mehdi Kazemi to the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Division of Aliens, Visas the Movement of Persons, Migration and Alien Affairs Department (DPV/VV).
The petition has now reached 5,000 signatures. This level of attention serves as a serious reminder of the gravity of this situation as we urge the authorities to reconsider their position.

The momentum surrounding Mahdi's case is increasing as we approach five thousand signatures. Please direct your correspondence to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the Netherlands to ensure the seriousness of this situation is understood by officials. Your continued commitment remains essential for his protection.

I really hope the Dutch see sense and refuse to send him back. The UK government should be ashamed for even pushing this.

This is absolutely heartbreaking. Sending someone back to be murdered by their own government is pure evil. Keep him safe!
