Escape? We have Iranian students at the local university.
These two were apparently not emigrating legally. I wasn’t sure if they were Iranians who were already refugees in some other country, or if they were sneaking out directly from Iran.
One of them had family that had already gotten to Frankfurt, and in fact it was his mother who called police, suspecting that her son might be on that flight because she knew about his plan to rejoin the family (he had a ticket to Frankfurt).
