“Iran is not a safe space,” Bahman, an Iranian refugee living in Australia and active in Iranian Workers Solidarity, told *Green Left Weekly*. Bahman was responding to Australian foreign minister Julie Bishop’s recent visit to Iran, where she tried to persuade the Iranian government to accept asylum seekers sent back to Iran involuntarily. “The whole country is a prison,” he said. “People are victimized for their political or religious opinions, their ethnicity, or because they are workers fighting for their rights. Australia should not send asylum seekers back to their persecutors in Iran.” https://www.greenleft.org.au/node/59166 -- “Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is humanity’s original virtue.
