Gone Girl

This week's program is about a young woman who puts a human face to the issue of "unauthorised" boat arrivals in Australia. Mojgan Shamsalipoor fled terrible personal trauma in her home country, Iran, and found sanctuary in Brisbane where she was able to live in the community while awaiting a decision on her protection visa. At a Baha'i youth camp she met a young Iranian refugee, Milad Jafari. They fell in love, married and were looking forward to a happier future. However, despite her apparent good fortune, her visa has been denied and she is now locked in detention with little prospect of fulfilling her dream of having a family with Milad and becoming a midwife. But she has many supporters who are determined to see her released back into the community.
