In Bavaria, Germany, an Iranian refugee, whose identity remains undisclosed for safety reasons, faces imminent deportation despite converting to Christianity. The decision has sparked widespread protests from churches and refugee organizations, echoing concerns over the refugee’s safety upon return to Iran. This case mirrors a recent incident where another Iranian refugee successfully avoided deportation by jumping out of a plane. The stringent deportation policy in Bavaria, driven by political pressure to reduce refugee numbers, disregards the dangers faced by individuals in their countries of origin. Despite calls for leniency and concerns over human rights violations in Iran, the state continues its aggressive deportation strategy, leaving many refugees in legal limbo and at risk of expulsion. It should be noted that in Islamic jurisprudence, a Muslim is liable to death if he converts to another religion, and many human rights activists are concerned that this person will face the risk of death if he is deported to Iran.
