Tbilisi. With the help of Rights Georgia, the Iranian blogger was granted international protection. He has been seeking asylum in Georgia since 2015.
“The blogger spoke openly to the media about the protests and movements following the presidential elections in Iran. He published articles on the political and socio-economic structure of Iran and publicly expressed his desire to actively cooperate with America and implement changes in Iran's political system.
In 2009, his educational department was closed against his will, and in 2010, he was arrested by the security services on charges of collaborating with anti-Islamic organizations. An Iranian blogger was released from prison in exchange for real estate as a guarantee and left the country, fearing for his life due to his activities”.
