ASYLUM FOR AMIR! The suffering continues! At 13.00 on Friday, 1 June Amir Hampay was released from prison on Lesvos Island. We are delighted at this news but also very much aware that the delicacy of his situation continues. Amir Hampay is still held on the island of Lesvos and unable to travel to Athens to be with his brother, whose support he needs very much. He is still without his asylum accepted by the authorities and papers issued. There is a reprieve here which we hope will give time for a logical and humane decision to be brought to this situation. We want a consistent approach! The humiliating treatment of brothers Arash and Amir AND of thousands of refugees worldwide is unacceptable, can no way be justified. Asylum for Arash means logically Asylum for brother Amir! They lived the same trauma, fled from the same danger and hope for the same freedom!!! Amir Hampay and Arash Hampay fled from dictatorship and torture or death by hanging in Iran. They lost their father and brother to the dictatorship in Iran, their mother suffered the worst losses to imagine in life, with her many many others in Iran! The brothers arrived in Greece, Lesvos island. They never gave up HOPE for a free life! For more that TWO years AMIR has been waiting for his asylum. Arash got his asylum earlier on Lesvos and was forced by authorities to leave the island because he exposed the shameful situation of Moria refugee concentration camp! He could not just sit and watch injustice being done to human beings, he fled Iran because of that! The brothers arrived in EU to experience a dictatorial behaviour worse than Iran, because EU pretends to be democratic and respect human rights! Their hope was destroyed! The desillusion was traumatic.
