In a shocking revelation, an Australian-Iranian woman has exposed alarming harassment on Australian soil by a suspected regime agent.
The series of terrifying incidents took place in December, leaving the 28-year-old activist fearing for her safety and demanding recognition and protection from the Australian government.
The distressing ordeal began when Tina Kordrostami noticed a heavily tattooed man following her through Drummoyne on her way home to Dee Why. The situation escalated further when the man brazenly climbed into her car while she briefly stopped at a Sydney petrol station late at night.
Consequently, Kordrostami's father started receiving threats against her life, and she found herself under surveillance, with unidentified men taking photographs of her during rallies and public events.
In response to such alarming reports, several Australian-Iranians have broken their silence, highlighting how the Iranian regime monitors their activities in Australia. This has raised concerns among the community, who are now demanding protection from the Australian government.
Senator Chandler, who led a Senate inquiry into human rights abuses late last year, expressed her concern over the harassment of Australian citizens and the lack of action taken by relevant authorities.
“There are individuals in the community that are concerned they're being targeted. And they're reporting that to the relevant authorities, but they're worried those concerns aren't being taken seriously,” Senator Chandler stated.
The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has conducted operations across a wide range of countries beyond the Middle East including the UK, where it targeted the Iran International staff and forced the offices to relocate to the US after British authorities failed to protect the team.
