This means they will find a new safe home, most likely in Canada which is home to Iranian Railroad for Queer Refugees (IRQR), the Canadian based group which made the announcement.

This website was established in January 2008 to help save 19yo gay Iranian Mehdi Kazemi from deportation to execution by the British government. He was saved but many other LGBT asylum seekers face appalling treatment at the hands of the UK government.
