INTERVIEWS with activists familiar with conditions in refugee camps can be scheduled.
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
June 20, 2007
Known:
Another human tragedy is unfolding on Afghanistan's
border with Iran. More than 100,000 refugees have been forced
into the hot deserts of Nimroz and Farah by Iranian Security Forces
with no water, food, or shelter.
Immediately available:
INTERVIEWSvia Skype or Cell phone with activists with knowledge of conditions in these camps can be scheduled. See the list of contacts in column on the right. They can be available 24 hours a day, but with preferred times listed.
Iran has forcibly separated men/fathers from their
families and forced the women and children into the desert alone, with
untold numbers of small children separated even from their mothers.
RAWA runs a network of orphanages and this is our
direct concern, small children alone and unable to survive without
help. Under usual circumstances, we provide sponsored shelter, food,
and education with an emphasis on breaking the cycle of fundamentalist
hate. BUT THE IMMEDIATE CRISIS demands attention for saving lives.
Journalists,
print and broadcast, we stand willing to help you with stories you are
developing and respect your independent perspective. Please help us bring attention to this growing humanitarian crisis in order to
increase aid to the victims and encourage a political solution to resolve it.
Mariam Rawi, or other RAWA worker via Skype or any other Internet based
media technology, please contact Andeisha at least 6 hours in advance
to arrange the interview. Email:

"...police of Iran
came to our house and deported us through the way of Nimrooz." The
sad words of Noorbashee, 9, claiming she has been expelled from Iran
along with her 3 years old sister. Now they are living with difficulty in
a camp in the frontier desert region of Nimrooz Province.
"...an old man accepted us as his children
and the Iranians also beat this old man." Said Noorbashee.
