The Special Rapporteur is grateful for the Government’s detailed response. United Kingdom Urgent appeal sent on 19 July 2007 jointly with the Chairperson-Rapporteur of the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, and the Special Rapporteur on the question of torture 264. The Special Procedures mandate holders brought to the attention of the Government information they had received regarding Ms. Samar Hoseyn Razavi, a 30 year-old national of the Islamic Republic of Iran, who used to reside in Bournemouth. According to the information received, Ms. Razavi converted from Islam to Christianity before leaving the Islamic Republic of Iran. Her asylum application in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland was subsequently rejected. At the most recent Court of Appeal hearing on 17 May 2007 the Lord Justices found that Ms. Razavi’s case did not reach the threshold of being at a real risk of persecution on return to the Islamic Republic of Iran and dismissed her appeal. 265. However, Ms. Razavi claimed that she was the subject of a death warrant for apostasy in her home country. According to verdict no. 96/19/181 of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Court no. 19, confirmed by case no. 1296 of the Judiciary High Constitutional Court, she was an apostate who deserves to be stoned to death. On 21 May 2007, the Islamic Revolutionary Court no. 9 declared this verdict to be enforceable within ten days. 266. Ms. Razavi is currently detained at an Immigration Removal Centre near Heathrow Airport, London, and is at risk of imminent forcible return to the Islamic Republic of Iran. In view of the threats related to her conversion, concern is expressed that her life and her physical integrity may be at risk should she be returned to the Islamic Republic of Iran. Response from the Government 267. The Government first set out the chronology of Ms. Razavi’s immigration case. Ms. Razavi applied for asylum on 28 January 2004, but her application was refused. Her most recent appeal, to the Court of Appeal, was dismissed on 17 May 2007. At this appeal, the Court found that Ms. Razavi’s circumstances were below the required threshold to constitute being at a real risk of persecution on to Iran. Ms. Razavi was detained on 10 July 2007 with a view to effecting her removal from the United Kingdom. 268. The Government pointed out that the basis of Ms. Razavi’s asylum claim was that she was caught having an affair with a Christian man by her husband and that she feared ill-treatment as a result. No part of her original asylum claim was based upon her religion. In his decision of 14 June 2004 on her appeal the Adjudicator found that while Ms. Razavi has expressed an
