The issue

For 47 years, the Islamic Republic of Iran has terrorised the Iranian people through relentless repression, censorship, torture, mass arrests, and violent crackdowns. This regime has turned Iran into a prison for millions of its own citizens. Meanwhile, the Iranian people who fight for basic human rights and freedom are met with brutality and oppression.

Yet, there exists a shocking hypocrisy that is beyond disgusting. While Iranians are being killed for demanding freedom, the children of senior Islamic Regime figures live safely in Australia. They have the luxury to enjoy the very freedoms and liberties that the regime they are associated with denies to the Iranian people.

One such example is Elias Ghalibaf, who resides comfortably away from the turmoil, injustice, and harsh realities that the citizens of Iran face daily. Elias, along with others like him, embodies the stark inequality and injustice. While the common people of Iran suffer under a cruel regime, these privileged families bask in safety, far removed from the consequences of their actions.

This petition demands that the Australian authorities take immediate action to deport Elias Ghalibaf. Deportation is not just about removing one individual, but about sending a strong, unequivocal message to the Islamic Republic and its affiliates that hypocrisy and injustice will not be tolerated.

We call on Western governments to hold the Islamic Republic’s privileged families accountable for the roles they indirectly play in supporting and upholding a system that brutalises its own people. Safeguarding their lifestyles while ordinary Iranians struggle for freedom is unacceptable. By addressing this issue, we take a stand for justice and human rights.

Join us in declaring that these double standards have no place in our societies. Demand that Elias Ghalibaf and others like him face the consequences of the actions of the regime they benefit from. Sign this petition to urge Australian governments to recognize and act upon the gross injustices perpetuated by the Islamic Republic of Iran. Together, we can bring attention to this glaring inequality and strive toward a more just world. Please, add your name in support of this crucial action.
