Middle East Concern, in collaboration with Article 18, CSW and Open Doors International has released a report on the plight of Iranian Christians seeking international protection in Georgia.
The Georgian immigration authorities are consistently refusing the claims of Iranian Christians seeking asylum in Georgia, despite their well-founded fear of persecution should they return to Iran.
The reasons for this are multi-faceted, but the consequence is that several hundred Iranian Christians currently seeking asylum in Georgia have little hope of being permitted to remain in the country for long. .
The report recommends to the Georgian authorities to recognise the legitimacy of their claims, and to the international community to open up new safe, legal routes for resettlement.
