ARASH:
Please, for this reason, this reason, this reason, release me, just leave me alone, just I go outside, I show that I'm not dangerous guy, because, why you keep me here? no, for many reason we have to keep you here, one month more. this one month more, one month more was...horrible
many people here, they think that, okay, maybe canada keep the people like that in detention centre for more security and something like, that but it's not true...it's not true, this way you cannot keep a people like that and you think that it's security, it's not.
this mental torture was horrible, 1000 times, more, me, it was more difficult than the physical torture that I had in Iran fanatic government.
POYA:
I mean, you know, listening to Arash talk right now, you just, really, you understand, how frustrating, how incredibly infuriating this immigration system is.
It's important to understand that immigration, colonilism, imperialism, capital-all of these things are so inter-linked, and it's in our collective organizing that we can really challenge things, and shift things, change things.
