On Borrowed Time
Mojgan Shamsalipoor came to Australia in 2012, aged 17, after fleeing terrible abuse and trauma in her home country, Iran.
The young asylum seeker found sanctuary in Brisbane, living in the community while her application for a protection visa was assessed.
She fell in love and married a young Iranian refugee, Milad Jafari, and attended a supportive high school where she regained her self-confidence and became a popular student.
But her dreams of a happier future came crashing down.
When Australian Story first told of the challenges Mojgan faced, in July last year (Gone Girl, Jul 25), she was in immigration detention with no prospect of release.
A lot has changed since then. Mojgan has been released back into the community on a bridging visa, but it will expire this month and her future remains uncertain.
