Olawumi Alao and her three children are currently locked up in Yarl's Wood immigration removal centre (IRC) in Bedfordshire. They were taken from their home in Liverpool by snatch squads early on Thursday 1 February 2007. But for an injunction filed by her solicitor, the racist authorities would have deported her by 5 February. Ola and her youngest child, suffer from Hepatitis B, but have not been given any treatment at Yarl's Wood detention centre. They have only been able to eat bread as they can't eat pork and there is no choice in what they are fed at the prison.

What can you do?

Call Yarl's Wood on 01234 821000 and demand their release and medical treatment for Ola and her children. Don't be put off by claims, 'its not our responsibility'. Don't allow them to pass you from pillar to post. Call her local MP, Bob Wareing (0151 256 9111) and her local councillor Ann Hines (0151 225 2354; email:  ann.hines@liverpool.gov.uk) get them to demand Ola's release. Call your local MP and get them to take action against these unfair and racist practices.

Let us know what responses you get if any. Please also forward this message!
