Dear
"I wouldn't hestitate to recommend that people first try the US Embassy (at least call them), especially if they are seriously in danger."
By all means, give them a call first - provided they're still there answering the phones. They weren't back in 1979 in the US consulate in Shiraz, Iran.
That was my first post overseas, and naive as I was, I actually registered with the consulate. When the "Islamic Revolution" there started to heat up, some of us attempted to call, but got no pick-up. Upon going to the consulate, we found the building locked and boarded up. It seems the staff there decided to make a hasty exit, without, of course, notifying any of us who had registered with them that they would no longer to available for any help.
But that was long ago, in a galaxy far, far away. Certainly matters have much improved since then. |
Yep, there is no more U.S. consulate in Shiraz...only sour grapes!  ...  ...
