Article Abstract:

The Ninth Circuit court issued a ruling that favored a female Iranian refugee who was seeking asylum in the country. Saideh Fisher left her country together with her son in 1984 after three encounters with fundamentalist Moslem agents of the Khomeini government.

The Board of Immigration Appeals rejected her claims prior to the circuit court's decision.
