An asylum seeker detained in Australia is in immediate danger of being deported back to Iran, where he may face torture or death in reprisal for his support for democratic reform. His refugee claim is backed up by International PEN. I've included all the details sent to me in email behind the cut, and bolded some of the most important information.
