My brilliant friend Behrouz Boochani finally has a permanent home in a country he has come to love | Donna Miles-Mojab

Behrouz is a storyteller and each of his tales is a journey into a life enriched by resistance and survival

Behrouz draws with his finger an imaginary rectangle on the table and pointing to a spot on its outer edge says: that's where we lived, on the margins of the village".

The village of Behrouz's childhood is located in the deprived Kurdish province of Ilam - itself in the outer western edge of Iran, near the border with Iraq.
