Not on the Plane! Soon to be on a train
Rashida Yasmeen and her four sons, Mahmood, Qadeer, Zaheer and Safeer were not put on their removal flight to Pakistan yesterday evening after their Scottish lawyer managed to successfully lodge and application for 'First Orders' in the Court of Session in Edinburgh.
Many thanks to everyone who faxed, phoned and emailed on their behalf.
We will see them back in Glasgow - were they belong - as soon as tomorrow!
Rashida's lawyer has just phoned to say that Rashida and her family are being released from detention tomorrow and will be coming back to Glasgow!

Titi Nzamba Bolele: A campaign coming to your mailing list soon
Mother and children fight deportation to DR Congo
A Cardiff mother and her three children are fighting deportation to Congo.
Titi Nzamba Bolele, 38, and her children, aged three, five and nine, are being held in a detention centre after authorities took them from their home in Iron Street, Adamsdown, at 6am on Monday last week.
On Friday, they were put on a flight to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), but the children, Beni, Daniel and David, started screaming and the pilot refused to take off.

Radical History Project / Resistance in Detention
The past 15 years has seen the British state develop a new kind of prison regime specifically for people accused of violating immigration controls, starting with the conversion of Campsfield House from a Young Offenders Institute to an immigration detention centre in 1993. Since then nine further detention centres have opened and a further three are being built, which will almost double the existing number of places to over 4,500. Migrants are also held in ordinary prisons and in short-term holding facilities in reporting centres and at ports. They are locked up indefinitely under threat of deportation, denied adequate medical treatment and legal advice, humiliated, racially abused and assaulted.
Meeting about a radical history project on resistance in detention, called by London No Borders, on Tuesday 17th February at 7.30 pm at LARC, 62 Fieldgate Street, London E1 1ES
