In the Name of God
Greetings and Blessings
I honor the World Refugee Day; as a refugee and victim of human rights violations who had no choice but to escape from his homeland to save his life, I share sympathy with all world refugees, and wish them patience and perseverance in their battle against oppression and the perpetrators of this sinister phenomenon.
It should be noted that asylum seeking is one of the consequences of human rights abuses, wars, and violation of the basic rights of people, as certain groups who seek their own interests and power deny many others the right to live in their homelands, forcing them to be displaced and seek asylum in other countries.
In this regard: I extend my sincere gratitude to all institutions, international human rights organizations, Amnesty International, the United States Commission on International Freedom, respected officials of the Canadian government, all and every individual including family members who assisted me in every possible way with asylum-seeking and settlement in Toronto, Canada in order to save my life from demons and enemies of humanity.
