UK immigration atrocities

www.pakpositive.com In WWII, refugees were sent back to die by the British government. Evidence of atrocities in Europe was ignored, and Tory Foreign Minister Anthony Eden is remembered for his remark that Britain had taken its quota and would take no more. His successor in the Labour government, Ernest Bevin, was hated by the Jews who fled. He refused the ship Exodus when it arrived on the shores of Palestine, and the refugees on board had to go back to Germany.

Today it is doing the same, under Home Office Secretary Jacqui Smith. A Guardian article of 27 May tells how two men deported to the Congo were tortured, one of them sexually abused. All this despite graphic evidence from a former Congolese secret police chief who himself claimed asylum in the UK.

But this is the tip of the iceberg. Journalists are not privy to the tens of thousands of cases that are hidden behind paperwork and the Official Secrets Act, to which immigration officials and detention are signatories. Getting inside the system is crucial, and this has been accomplished by a team of undercover journalists who have discovered utter abuse going on in the immigration courts of the UK, with many Pakistanis being sent back to face torture and death through lack of due process and/or false accusations. A new blog, freedomforasylumseekers.blogspot.com will have information on it posted daily, along with petitions to grant amnesty and legal review.
