Many experienced the same situation and departure from IRAN. It is truly unfortunate that a country that was once so promising has been derailed into the stone age with a government full of criminals. Eventually, it will all come full circle and change will occur but until then many more sad/brave stories like your friend's will continue. Thanks for stopping Lori. Best, Ben Hi Lori,

Thanks for stopping Lori.

(same last name as you - how funny) He has a similar story to yours from 1986 leaving behind his parents and sister. He was 18 and had to walk out of Iran with only the clothes on his back. He could not take the chance to be found with money as anyone would assume he was leaving for good. He spent two years in Pakistan as a refugee finally getting a visa to the US to be with other family members. By the time I met him his parents and sister were here. I think Farzin and your parents and all Bahai's whom have been able to escape are a brave bunch and I admire you all.

Hopefully conditions never progress anywhere near such a degree, but more and more are fearing for their lives and more and more are leaving. Feel free to email me. Jaber,

Iran is in fact once again beginning to behave similarly to the way Germany behaved prior to the holocaust. Hopefully conditions never progress anywhere near such a degree, but more and more are fearing for their lives and more and more are leaving.

Feel free to email me.
