Teresa Lau Manuel released from Yarl's Wood, But!!!
Teresa Lau Manuel was released from detention
pending a Judicial Review (JR) on 19th May 2007
following four 'removal directions', and at least
five serious self-harming acts. The latest
psychiatric report for her JR case, dated April
2007, clearly stated that she should be in a
psychiatric unit, not 'immigration detention'.
She had acute symptoms of post-traumatic stress
disorder on release, so severe that five days
later she was detained under the mental health
act for 28 days. There was no handover between
Yarl's Wood health team and medical services on
the outside at the time of her release, which put
her, and those who were looking after her at risk
of serious harm.

Sheila Mosley for the campaign

Continuing Conflicts that Create Refugees - May 2007

Four actual or potential conflict situations
around the world deteriorated in May 2007,
according to the new issue of CrisisWatch.

Israeli-Palestinian and intra-Palestinian
violence, May saw a dramatic surge in with Hamas
participating in both. In Gaza and border areas,
Israeli air strikes and Palestinian rocket
attacks left the ceasefire in ruins, while
factional fighting in the territory continued
throughout the month.

Lebanon, the worst internal fighting since the
end of civil war in 1990 erupted as the army
battled with the Islamist militant group Fatah
al-Islam, killing over 80 and causing 25,000
Palestinians to flee the Nahr al-Bared refugee
camp.

Pakistan, instability and violence intensified as
President Musharraf’s crisis deepened. Over 40
were killed in street violence as pro-government
activists attacked opposition supporters of
suspended Chief Justice Iftikhar Hussain Chaudhry.

Ethiopia's Ogaden region, Conflict also
escalated where rebels claimed major victories
against government troops.
