Sqad, I gave an instance of when legitimate Carribean immigrants couldn't safely live right here in Britain. A PM had decided to create a hostile environment for them but that doesn't mean we can assume they were spying for anyone.

Still, you're right, it would be rash to be 100% sure this woman wasn't spying. Just the sort of person MI6 might approach to let them know what was going on.

Happening in 2021
somewhat depressing
poor woman

her crime was to do union stuff with journos and Boris put his foot in it over something (" she was only doing X" quoth he and "X" is unlawful in Iran now)

a bit like the Italian who was doing union stuff in Egypt - he won the prize of - - being kicked to death by the security police

// My vet is iranian & fears returning. //
commonplace
after the war - the poles wouldnt go home because they would end up in soviet concentration camps
for the simple reason - - those that had - - - did

So all the survivors of the Polish Home Army (see The Pianist - NOT schindler) were here for starters - in polish something completely unpronounceable.

Yes. She is being treated badly by the Iranians. They appear to be using her for some political reason.
