'Australia is safer now': Behrouz Boochani on listing the IRGC as a terrorist organisation - ABC listen
Last week PM Albanese announced Australia plans to list Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organisation after ASIO revealed links to antisemitic attacks in Melbourne and Sydney.  It's a plan former refugee and Kurdish journalist Behrouz Boochani supports - he was terrorised by the IRGC and forced to leave Iran, ending up in Australia as a refugee and sent to a detention centre on Manus Island for years. Now settled in New Zealand, the writer applauds the decision of the Australian government, but says the their latest deal to send more refugees to Nauru includes Iranian people who fled the regime.  Guest: Behrouz Boochani, Kurdish writer, journalist, scholar, cultural advocate and filmmaker. Producer: Catherine Zengerer

Today, the criminal Iranian regime executed two more political prisoners.
They were arrested four years ago on charges of participating in nationwide protests in Iran.

Afghans as murderers and criminals on a wide scale.

And yet, perhaps the most painful aspect of all this is the silence of Iranian civil society.
Their refusal to speak out in the face of this suffering this silence may be the most heartbreaking thing of all.

Moreover, the Iranian regime uses this narrative as a tool to foster national unity by creating a common enemy in Afghans, it seeks to strengthen a sense of national solidarity among Iranians.

Alongside this is the dangerous spread of racial superiority ideology, with many Iranians claiming that "Aryans" are a superior race, while Afghans are seen as an inferior, backward, corrupt, and savage people. They are perceived as a threat to the "racial purity" of Aryans in Iran.

Through these campaigns, the government accuses Afghans of being behind all national crises, labeling them traitors to the Iranian state.

Ordinary people in Iran, influenced by this propaganda, began to brutally harass Afghans. They are forcibly evicted from their homes,

In today's economic and social crisis, the Iranian government is trying to scapegoat Afghan migrants through aggressive propaganda. Even the killing of Iranian military officials is blamed on Afghan refugees, in an attempt to unite Iranian society against a common enemy.

Iranian society shows no empathy or solidarity with the Afghan migrant community. The prevailing attitude is hostile and antagonistic a mindset rooted in school textbooks and the education system in Iran, which have long promoted this view.

The roots of Afghanophobia in Iran go back a long time.
Afghans in Iran have never had equal rights with other citizens. They are treated as foreigners by both Iranian society and the stateeven if they've lived in Iran for more than thirty
