Babi Badalov Captured, removal directions set for this Friday

Picket the UKBorder Agency, 31-33 Newport Road, from 12 noon today to protest at the Home Office's treatment of Babi and other migrants who seek a better life in the UK.

Whilst attending the Border Agency offices in Cardiff yesterday for his weekly signing, Babi Badalov was detained and taken to Rumney Police station in Cardiff, while friends waited outside for him. He has removal directions for 20th September.

For those not aware of his case, Babi Badalov has experienced persecution and abuse in Azerbaijan because of his homosexuality and his radical art, which has been critical of the government there. Despite wide support and Babi's great contribution to the arts in Wales, his claim was refused.

Before being detained today, Babi was in the process of collecting further evidence of his poor treatment in Azerbaijan and had been awaiting neurological and psychiatric assessments which his solicitor was arranging. This information was to be used as a basis for a fresh claim for asylum.
