Canada and Fatemeh Naserian Mochadam

Fatemeh Naserian Mochadam: Abbas Gholami, his wife Fatemeh Naserian Mochadam, and their five children arrived in Canada a couple of years ago. All family members were born and lived in Kuwait. However, due to family ties they are citizens of Iran. , according to CBC. But in February, an Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada tribunal rejected the familys refugee claim. The Gholamis now face removal from Canada not to Kuwait, but to Iran, where none of them have lived or visited. A family living in Halifax is facing deportation after their refugee claim was rejected earlier this year but in an unusual twist, they could be sent to a country they ve never even visited. They say they left Kuwait after years of threatening phone calls from two of Mochadam cousins, according to documents filed in the Federal Court of Canada. Mochadam is of Arab descent and says her 1995 marriage to her husband, who is Persian, was viewed as shameful by some relatives who threatened to kill them. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
