oozbeh*, 34, is a civil engineer from Iran. He fled his country fearing for his life after the government found out he had converted from Islam to Christianity. He arrived in the UK in December 2022, has received a notice of intent to be sent toIran
“The journey to France took about 21 days but it was hard to know the difference between day and night in the lorries and it felt like 200 days. “I knew nothing about Rwanda when I arrived in the UK. I had stopped listening to the news in Iran many years ago because it was all manipulated by the government. When I first heard the word Rwanda I didn’t even know it was a country. I thought it was another legal word like “asylum seeker” or “refugee”.
“Everyone is so terrified of being sent to Rwanda, it feels like having death on your doorstep. We did some research and can see that Rwanda and Iran have good relations – so maybe Rwanda will send me back to my country.
