Save Zaniar - a protestor who was blinded by the security forces in Iran is seeking refuge
The Issue
18 y/o Zaniar Tondro was shot multiple times in the eye by the Islamic Republic regime forces, while participating in "Mahsa/Jina Amini" or "Woman Life Freedom" protests. In Iran's popular protests, IRGC officers shot him in the face, blinded him in one eye, and his other eye is in danger of also going blind. He has 14 pellets in his head. One of the pellets damaged his brain and paralysed the left side of his body.
Due to security reasons and pressure from security institutions, he has has been forced to leave Iran. His family secretly took him by boat from Turkey to Greece, but the Greek government held their boat for 48 hours and did not allow them to enter. They were then returned to Turkey and are now in custody and at risk of deportation to Iran.
Zaniar needs urgent help. We ask the leaders of Western countries to help Zaniar's dire situation and issue him a medical visa. Issuing visas for wounded Iranian protesters can be part of the support from Western countries for the revolution of Woman Life Freedom in Iran.
