A refugee who fled Iran – where he was tortured for refusing to shoot anti-government protesters – was just days away from being deported to Rwanda.
Bahram*, an Iranian ex-police commander, travelled to the UK after an Iranian military court sentenced him to almost five years in jail in 2019.
On Friday, he received a last-minute letter from the Home Office informing him that he will no longer be on the first scheduled deportation flight to Rwanda.
