Behrouz Bouchani has been given asylum in Papua New Guinea, but he
never asked for asylum there. He never wanted to go there. He was
forcibly taken there by Australia.
I can understand his not wanting to live in Papua New Guinea. It is
not much of a happening place. There is no Iranian or Kurdish
community there. And it is hot and humid. Much of Iran is also hot,
but not humid like New Guinea.
On the other hand, if one is making the case, "Please let me into your
country because they will kill me if I can't leave," it would seem
that Papua New Guinea ought to suffice. No one will persecute him
there for being a Kurd.
Will they ostracize him for not being a Christian? I don't know.
