asked a federal judge to halt his deportation, documents obtained by Global News show.<\/p>\n<p>Seyed Salman Samani, who was until recently Iran\u2019s deputy interior minister, claimed in an appeal to the Federal Court that expelling him would violate his rights.<\/p>\n<p>In a court application filed in Toronto, Samani said that on June 19 Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada had denied his request to defer his removal back to Iran.<\/p>\n<p>Calling the choice \u201cunlawfully made\u201d and \u201cpatently unreasonable,\u201d the 45-year-old former Iranian government spokesperson asked the court to overturn the ruling.<\/p>\n<p>At the identical time, he filed an \u201canonymity order notice\u201d by which he urged the court to wash his name from all documents related to his appeal.<\/p>\n<p>As a result of the \u201chigh-profile nature\u201d of his case, Samani said he desired to be identified only by \u201crandomized and arbitrary initials\u201d corresponding to A.B. or
