My new friends home in Iran yesterday

I am now facebook friends with a young boy from Iran and this is a picture sent to him by family yesterday of his home. I was on duty tonight and this particular young man has shown me pictures on his phone twice, till he  plucked up courage to ask if I would like to be a facebook friend to see his photos.
We had some laughs but sadly many of the photos were of his best friend, a friend since childhood, dead, hung in the streets by a rival religion, he said.
There is not one young man who when you talk to do not eventually get round to telling you of horrible deaths of family and friends.
If anyone says anything to me about refugiès going home, expect an absolute mouthful of abuse. You cannot listen to these stories and not be affected.
Everyone is busily learning French and a lot of the evening was spent playing word games in French.
