Mahmoud Farjami, a well known Persian blogger, reports that the daughter of one of his acquaintances is denied entry to the UK despite the fact that she needs urgent care to save her eye.
In an open letter to Jeffrey Adams, the British Ambassador to Tehran, he describes that an Iranian girl has lost the sight of one of her eyes and that Iranian physicians have warned her family that she is to have the same problem with her other eye if she does not receive help. While the physicians have stated that they are not able to even stop the progress of the illness, her father is told that a new technique developed in the UK could be helpful to her. Therefore, her father, although being a low-level government worker, has handed out the regarding document to the British Embassy in Tehran and thanks to donations and help from both inside and outside the country he has managed to collect the demanded 6500 GBP in the bank. His application, however, has been denied because it is not understandable to the embassy how a person with a 136 GBP-per-month salary has managed to collect such an amount.
Farjami writes,
[Mr Ambassador,] I am ready to provide you with more information and I am accessible through the email address m_farjami@yahoo.com.
He states that he will contact media sources if the actions taken by the embassy lead to her not receiving medical help and thus losing her eye sight.
