Yesterday's removals to Darfur stayed

Last minute legal action prevented the removal of
three Darfurians due to be removed yesterday. The
three are now back in Oakington IRC with another
Darfurian who didn't fly on Tuesday night due to
failure of escorts to get him to the airport on
time.

The good news that the four are still here comes
as the Guardian reveals today that a Darfurian
returned from the UK in February to Khartoum was
tortured.

Many thanks to all those who faxed British Airways.



Returned Darfurian tortured

Shifting awkwardly in his chair, Sadiq paused for
a moment before he began to unbutton his shirt.
As he peeled it back over his slender shoulders,
he revealed a grim patchwork of scars slicing
across his torso.

"They came from all sides - there were three
people doing the torturing - one was questioning
me, another beating me, and another was behind
me," he said as he pointed out where his
tormentors had left their mark.
