Ola and family Released From Detention

Olawumi Alao and her three children were released on 13 March 2007 from Yarl's Wood immigration removal centre (IRC) in Bedfordshire. Olawumi and her children had been held at the prison for almost 6 weeks. For what reason??? They are now back at their home in Liverpool from where they were kidnapped by snatch squads early on 1 February 2007. But for an injunction filed by her solicitor, the racist authorities would have deported them by 5 February. Ola and her youngest child, suffer from Hepatitis B, but were not been given any treatment at Yarl's Wood detention centre. On 12 February, the 1-year-old, Fayad was violently sick - but still he got no medical treatment. Ola was refused bail, because, said the Home Office, she was likely to 'abscond'; but Ola has lived in Liverpool for the past 18 months, without 'absconding', reporting to Reliance House in Liverpool regularly and keeping her children in the local schools. She did not 'abscond' even after the immigration service thugs twice raided her house whilst the family was out. Thanks to all those who wrote and emailed the councillors and MP about Ola and her children. The campaign goes on, Ola is still in danger of deportation, so watch this space...

Defend Ola and Family!

Defend all asylum seekers!

No to deportations!

No to British state racism!
