The #Trump admin is deporting a planeload of around 100 #Iranians back to #Iran from the #US, acc/to 2 senior Iranian ofcls involved in the negotiations & a US ofcl with knowledge of the plans.
Iranian ofcls said that the plane, a US chartered flight, took off from Louisiana on Monday night & was scheduled to arrive in Iran by way of Qatar sometime Tues. The US ofcl confirmed that plans for the flight were in the final stages.…
For decades, the #UnitedStates had given shelter to #Iranians fleeing their homeland, which has one of the harshest #HumanRights records in the world. #Iran persecutes #WomensRights activists, #PoliticalDissidents, #journalists & #lawyers, #religious minorities & members of the #LGBTQ community, among others. [just like #Trump.]
