The British government has ordered the deportation to Iran of a young woman who converted from Islam to Christianity before fleeing her home country. Home Office officials turned down her application for asylum despite being alerted to a death warrant issued in her name by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Council saying she deserves to be stoned to death for apostasy. Samar Razavi was supposed to be deported yesterday but received a last-minute reprieve after MP Ann Widdicombe raised her case in Parliament.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown has agreed to take another look at her situation.
