Gets raped by 2 different men, forced to marry a 59 year old at 16, flees and takes a treacherous journey to arrive somewhere safe in order to save her life then goes through all that trauma, then gets rejected for a visa...what a terrible life she has had and so brave. For God's sake give the girl a visa! She's been through enough this is heartbreaking.
A poignant reminder that all refugee cases are individual and unique and need to be 'processed' as such, with humanity and human rights at the forefront of our thinking. And with as little delay as possible. The story is left unfinished unfortunately.....one can only assume that sadly this couple may have to find somewhere that will grant them residency. It should be Australia - they are bright young people with a lot to offer our country. That should be part of the reasoning around granting residency status to anyone.
For goodness sake let this wonderful couple be free and live as Aussies do without this huge cloud of uncertainty all the time! This beautiful woman would not have been able to have had so many people rally for her if she was not a person who is high in heart, integrity, high achiever..........what an amazing person an inspiration and a person who would be an asset to our society and a wonderful person we can all be proud to call Australian PLEASE FREE THIS BEAUTIFUL WOMAN SHE WILL MAKE US ALL PROUD AND A WOMDERFUL VOICE FOR OTHERS WHO ARE IN THIS HORRIBLE AND UNTHINKABLE PREDICAMENT!!!!!!! Much health, loads of love and light to all who assisted and still do, to all the families involved and to ALL. (Gal from oz) please respond to me if there is anything I can do to assist.
I honestly don't understand why the Australian government is not granting a visa to her. This is how politics works they always give the visas to the wrong people and the good people like this girl is being denied. Please grant Mojukien her visa, she a good heart and so are all the people that are standing up for her. Stay strong Mujkein I will defiently be praying hard for you. All the best. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
To: jamila Hadade so very true, she just shines a bright light of peace, love, hope and so deserves to be free and we should feel proud as Aussies to have a person who is just has touched so many hearts in our country!!!!!!!!! She is one of a kind and I so wish I could spell her name but know I agree and it shames me that although this woman is one of a kind as an individual there must be so very many more who have nothing but good intentions to become Aussies also.............this system seems so flawed!! Just like many other systems in oz at this very moment in time! Much health, love and light to you and yours (gal from oz)
@nvsbl2 only the country that didnt steal the land from NATIVE! Australia is not for European immigrants! Since they didnt come to Australia legally! They should understand is not like the refugees kiling citizens to take over the land like they did! murders!
Watching this in Oct 2020 and I see on her Facebook page that another bridging visa was granted in June 2020, set to expire at the end of the year. I can't believe this couple are forced to live in stressful limbo for over 3 years! Love and hope go out to them to finally get freedom in December.
Apply to come to New Zealand..........we don't lock our refugees up in hell holes........we also give them help with trauma counseling and health issues.
What part of the country/universe are YOU living in? Nice fantasy, but even mental health patients don't get even a smidgen of that in NZ. How do I know? That's right, misinformation-person,
@@juanitarichards1074 No, I "don't know everything", but I do know about this - from personal experience. Again, what part of the country are you living in?
@@andysaunders3708 I have lived all over NZ, north and south and ended up in Levin. I was able to get free counseling 30 years ago after escaping a violent marriage and my kids had counseling too. Plus I have friend who volunteer to work with refugees - counselors, doctors, psychologists etc and those from war torn countries do get help when they arrive here traumatized ans lost. They get help with housing, shopping, finding jobs, learning English and navigating our political and welfare systems and about NZ culture and lifestyle. They are very grateful for all the help they get and being allowed to live here.
✊🏾👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🕊💐💐💐you poor little gal..stroke of a pen...made it all the way to Australia,,blossomed but.....heartbreaking but thanks to her Tutors 🕊and all the rarest pleas for..freedom & empathy & a right to freedom..to love & live free..Arohanui
Update: Jan, 2018, Mojgan Shamsalipoor was granted a further 6 month bridging visa. However, it was conditional that she not continue her education. Mojgan had been studying nursing, with plans to become a midwife. It is unclear the reason behind this requirement. Mojgan was paying international fees, so her educational costs to taxpayers were modest.
I thought Australia needs more midwives, let her finish her studies at least. She didn't have a great start in her life and is able to give a positive contribution to Australia. Honestly who on earth thinks it would be fine for her to return to Iran? She wouldn't be able to support herself and would not be able to return to her family home, after being raped and fleeing the arranged marriage. This case is bonkers, I hope some common decency prevails.
Her husband was/is a citizen so HE paid! Not all wives work while attempting to get an education. I’ve read several of your nasty, hateful comments. I wonder what you’d do given the situation. May you never have to fight the government, any government for healthcare, citizenship, anything. I’m sure you are quite perfect, though.
My comment is for “perfect” Marie, who is privileged enough to not be forced to flee a country, be desperate for asylum or anything else. However, those in glass houses should not throw stones. You have so much hate in you...you must have been thru something. I am sad for how you live with yourself.
Such a beautiful yet sad story! I wish this couple the very best, and pray that they'll be able to stay together somehow. Are there any updates about them, does anyone know what is currently going on with them?
I feel so sad for this couple. They may have to make plans to move to another country. I think they will do whatever they have to in order to stay together. It's so unfair they have all this hanging over their heads.
6.00 how beautiful that they found each other. Its unbelievable that she wasn't allowed to stay initially. So happy to know that she was finally granted a bridging visa and that she graduated from school, bless her. Namaste to them both 💞 I pray that they are allowed to stay together
The moral of the story; "No man wants to accept the possible reality that one day he may become detestable to young women and that they can't even be forced to lie next to their wrinkled, and withering bodies and that many young women would choose to change their whole world or kill themselves first"! Her very plight is an insult to older men. Sad that men are so late and selfish to surrender their youth and grow up and let the young now be adventurous with love. Many men should have loved, kept and nurtured the precious relationships of their youth, then they wouldn't be spiteful and hateful of the young and trying to recapture their youth with little girls or stop them from being happy. Men who use women in their youth or abuse them end up alone smelling like piss, riding on the bus in sub zero weather under dressed in cloths that don't match and wearing a matted lint covered sweater!
This breaks me heart, this poor girl has been through so much already then to come to a "safe country" and be treated like this, ALL HUMANS deserve the chance of a peaceful life, you are such an inspirtional beautiful strong woman xx
THERES A LEVEL OF GLOBAL INHUMANITY NOW THAT I NEVER COULD HV IMAGINED. AS AN INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN, MY HEART BREAKS EVERY DAY. 💔 EVERY SINGLE DAY.
You wonder how these experiences don't break a person like her. Would it break me? Possibly. Luckily she had so many people who cared enough to give her hope to carry on during those dark times. Hopefully since this show was made, they have found a way and a place to be together, live, be happy and productive.
Yep she ended up in the same camp because that’s where immigration placed them . They said so early on . As for the brother who cares this is her story.
This reminded me of my Australian ex who was an interpreter for the boat people of Indonesia. He got off scott free for what he did to our son (who was less than a year old at the time) and the court in Perth sent us back to New Zealand where I ran away from at the age of 15. The ministry of social development even stated that the father of my child came to New Zealand on a boat and got me pregnant? Both sides of our families know this isn't true and my family think and say I'm a bully and mental because of trauma, their denial and ignorance. I truly understand and feel so sad for this young, lovely couple. God bless
John Roddy emptying the prisons and sending everyone to Australia to clean up the less desirable population??? I would hope your standards have raised since then...
@@Marieok who are you to decide who come and go when them self are immigrants and killers who wipe out natives! This girl is less because she run away for freedom? You prefer english drug dealer's?
I can not fathom the number of hoops Muska has had to jump through to qualify for even a unsatisfactory bridging visa. This couple live as though Muska is terminally ill. Living one day at a time. Till the end of the 3 months. I think bridging visas are cruel: Here we Australian Government will grant you 3 months of freedom from detention, go out into our communities and enjoy! But........ 3 months is it! Another 3 months, this is it! And another......! Really? She was treated like a criminal. I am appalled! Is this the Australian spirit????!!!!
It's lamentable. All non-aboriginal 'Australians' are, by definition, immigrants. Luckily for them they weren't subjected to the same stringent (inhumane) immigration laws by the indigenous population in the 16 and 17 hundreds.
aboriginal's arnt Australian eather they come from asia and killed off the ppl that were here when they came were i live theirs hundreds of scalitons with spear holes in there heads were abo's killed them they are thousands of years older than the Australian abos
No fox given The aborigines came to Australia 42000 years ago, there was a more recent immigration 4000 years ago but they make up a small minority of the aboriginal people. The aborigines are the true Australians and lived on Australian soil long before anyone else.
These countries must change from the inside of the people. There is no one else who can do it other than the people themselves. In addition, the West cannot take responsibility for everyone fleeing from their countries, they are too many and the financial expenses are too large. In my own country there are many refugees who are unable to support themselves, and that even if they receive education for free. Many choose not to learn our language and have many children. Remember, they cannot support themselves and choose to have children that they cannot support, of course. I wish every human being on earth a good and safe life, but the West cannot take that responsibility, the people must change their countries from the inside and we must support them in that!
We should be so much more concerned about what politicians are doing to thIs country than what refugees are doing to this country. They don't cause homelessness, trickle down economics and other societal blemishes.
My take is politicians and bureaucrats don't like to be told or forced to make decisions under pressure from public opinion, they don't want to create or appear to make a precedent because a long list will follow. If there is a legislation and they comply with it, then they are off the hook. She exposed herself and she has every rights to do so, but politicians and bureaucrats are afraid of social activists. Granting a visa is a decision based on perception and it is privilege and not a right, so my two cents would be to be humble and make leverage on the compassionate consideration.
Good ole common sense and humanity. Is the guy on the take or something? I mean what threat does giving her permanent residency pose? I just don't get how the good will and good press could hurt him had he released her per the first request. Maybe he got dumped by an Iranian in highschool. Maybe her stepfather slipped him a case of Fosters.
The SAME issue here in the US. Come here LEGALLY. What is so hard to understand about that.....? A Country can't just let anyone in through their borders. Iran is a shithole. And she has every reason to flee. I feel for her but do it LEGALLY.....
But americans came iligaly! Unless you are NATIVE! The term you use shithole is from the orange guy lol. Its shit hole yet America and Europe is making there money there like sending army to Afghanistan to get opium ! Irak fir oil! Millions blood on your hands at list trump is not pro war which is good.
she wasnt legally in the country at the time, so I think there is a legal loophole on whether the marriage is legally recognised. It is very hard to get a visa for someone even if you marry them
Its pretty rare for any country to grant citizenship to spouses these days...too many people buying a spouse/green card in the past 20 yrs changed that
call me cynical but she only speaks about the abuse after being detained and threatened with deportation? she may have been abused. she may not have, i can't say for sure as can no one else, to me it seems a bit convenient
Bunch of Idiots here! Evn if its not true..what happened to given her a brk! You arnt betr than any1 els,u were only lucky to be born in a btr country Wait until u r born in some sort of iran in ur nxt life.
So the Australian government gives a free education to people who aren't legal or even a citizen....wow I bet that's expensive! What I'm gathering from this story is she didn't understand how asylum works...thats on her. And girl you can't always be a damn victim. SMDH
Grow up. She was 15 when she was raped. Seriously I hope you never know what she's been through because I bet your ignorant ass wouldn't be spewing this same bs. She's tried to do right no matter what. You treat her like she's a criminal immigrant when the only thing criminal is you having zero empathy. I bet your parents are proud.....NOT!!!!!
What a bunch of crap. Abused by your own family? CRAZY is the right word for this. This should be dealt by in their country. Not by Australian Immigration for sure.
I understand the position of the minister, anybody can make up a story. This girl needs to go back to Iran and enter Australia legally. They say Iran doesn't accept deportees, Qantas must just dump her at the airport in Tehran.
Omg please tell me I read wrong! Please tell me this amazing couple can stay safe here in Australia .......... Even after all this support and all this love from the community PETER DUTTON WHY WHY WHY??!! My heart goes out to all who have lived in such fear....... Health love and light (the gal from oz)
I'm praying she can live in peace from now on and forever. Never give up keep going you're young you have the future ahead of you. May God Bless you. I'll keep praying, Amen.
I wonder whatever happened to this poor girl. I hope the cold hearted immigration dept of Australia found it impossible to send a teenage victim of rape and forced marriage back to that horrible country. I guess I was surprised that Australia would treat human beings with such distain. I wouldn't have been surprised if this had happened in the USA considering the bias held by the Trump administration, but I thought Australia was better. I guess those in power are all the same.....
From having an abusive parents mentally and physically to having her husband parents adorable her to bit’s is so amazing. Just so beautiful to see. I wish them love and joy. Always
I totally balled my eyes out. What a crock. Here are 2 people who you can clearly tell would be productive members of the community and some government lackey is essentially a creep who obviously can't make a management decision and let this poor women and her husband lead good productive lives. Godspeed a positive decision. Australia you should be ashamed of yourself!
At the end it said her bridging visa was not renewed by Peter Dutton so I don't know what kind of life she will have now. It is really unfortunate that refugee's who have done nothing but seek a better life have to be treated like criminals.
@@user-ff1yx2vm8k She is a lovely person and I do sympathise with her, but fleeing a country having suffered abuse by her stepfather is an individual situation and would not qualify under immigration law to remain in Australia. If they allowed her to stay in Australia this would then set a president for others to abuse the system and lie about they're situations in order to settle in Australia.
We met quite a few people in Iran wanting to emigrate to my country (NZ). They weren't fleeing persecution but rather were wanting a better life somewhere else.
I've seen this two times now...and I cry....and I cry.... Lovely couple and beautiful people around them❤ I loose my respect for Australian goverment if she is not allowed to stay....forever!!
I feel this lady who is willing to work to support herself and live by our laws should be given a chance, I believe if you live in another country you must live by their laws and rules and support yourself and if you or your children break those laws you and your family should be deported no matter what you might face in your own country, I think this would stop a fair amount of crime and I’m positive a great deal of people agree with this too, you should respect the country you are lucky enough to live in and that means live by that countries laws, I don’t think that it’s too much to ask, if you want to live in our beautiful lucky country then respect it and don’t break any laws and show how greatful you are by being a honest hard working member of the community
I thought Australia had more compassion than what I've seen this poor girl go through. I thought they were our "allies"... maybe in the govt. eye's..but not in mine.
Michelle Hoffman -- You are angry, so am I, but project your anger at those in power. I'm sure the people of Australia, based on those who championed her right to stay, are good people. Those of us in the US are dealing with an administration that does not value the individual person and what they can offer our country. Those in power only see color, race and religion. It's not right, nor will it ever be, but we are basically helpless under the governments power. That doesn't mean we should give up. Do what you can to fight for the rights of all humans. We deserve it.
This is just DISGUSTING - so much for the rights of a free country!! I hope this charming couple live in peace and harmony!! I am ashamed to be Australian sometimes
Would it help her if she gave birth in Australia? This is absolutely ridiculous, She is clearly Not a terrorist and is Actively working to better herself and be a Productive member of society!!
Think about who’s going to pay for those refugees if Australia have to take everyone who is in similar circumstances. It’s not fair at all for people who pays tax to this country or who are in the similar situation and refused entry. The husband needs to think about moving to different places where they are accepted if he’s so in love with her and inseparable. Don’t expect this country to accept everything.
