According to Panahjoo (The Refugee), Zahra Kamalfar and her children will fly to Canada today. Reportedly, the Canadian Embassy have told her that her refugee case has been accepted and that she will be transferred to Canada on March 14th. This, if is true, would be an end to their nine month stay in Moscow Airport.
Thank you. You made my day.

I’ve got a really comfy couch and a futon if they need a place to hang out… once Nick Spicer found out what was going on and got the story on the air things seemed to get moving pretty quickly. I’m wondering if all of those large men with ear pieces will be sent here as well. If so I don’t have room for everyone.
