“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.”
