Deal with Iran will put many lives in danger
Deporting Iranian asylum seekers against their will put lives in danger, the Australian Greens have said today.
The party has called on the Abbott Government to outline the principles of any deal to forcibly return asylum seekers back to Iran ahead of Foreign Minister Bishop's visit next week.
"Forced deportations to Iran is like a death sentence for many Iranians and their families," Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young said today.
