Thank you for 9 May!

Dear Friends

A big THANK YOU to everyone who faxed (or emailed) their protest to the Japanese Ministry over the last weekend!

I guess the Japanese government understands now that we won't go away unless they cancel Jamal's deportation order and until he is safe as a refugee!

Unfortunately 9 May was also the day that 5 Iranian political prisoners were executed by the Islamic regime of Iran in Tehran. This makes it even more urgent to save Jamal and others like him from deportation to Iran.

Our campaign continues - thank you for your support!
