" will be arrested and executed"

''If I return to Iran I will be arrested and executed.''

-- Mehdi Kazemi, a 19-year-old Iranian who had applied for and was denied asylum in Britain, in a letter to the British government. Kazemi fled to the Netherlands, where a court ruled he must return to Britain under EU law. He now faces deportation to Iran, where Kazemi says his ex-boyfriend was executed by the government.
