Warshaw told The Times of Israel that Minister Shaked had failed to follow the necessary legal procedures in dealing with the case, “and we believe that the court will recognize the error that has been made and grant Amin refugee status.”Amin left Iran in 2014 for Turkey, where she worked as a journalist, including reporting for the Times of Israel’s Persian website. In the summer of 2017, Amin contacted ToI to say that her life was in danger: Her writing for an Israeli website, along with her other writing elsewhere, had led to her being questioned repeatedly by Turkish police, she recounted, and she had now been told that she faced being kicked out of the country.
