Summary This week's program is about a young woman who puts a human face to the issue of "unauthorised" boat arrivals in Australia.<br /><br />Mojgan Shamsalipoor fled terrible personal trauma in her home country, Iran, and found sanctuary in Brisbane where she was able to live in the community while awaiting a decision on her protection visa.<br /><br />At a youth camp she met a young Iranian refugee, Milad Jafari. They fell in love, married and were looking forward to a happier future.<br /><br />However, despite her apparent good fortune, her visa has been denied and she is now locked in detention with little prospect of fulfilling her dream of having a family with Milad and becoming a midwife.<br /><br />But she has many supporters who are determined to see her released back into the community
