An Iranian man who sought asylum in Australia after converting from Islam to Christianity has been deported to Tehran, a refugee advocacy group said Wednesday. According to Refugee Action Coalition, the man�whose identity was not released due to fears for his safety has a ‘high likelihood’ of being killed in Iran, where activists say Christian converts are routinely persecuted and often put to death.
