Help stop deporations to Iraq!

Francesca Hussain | 23.04.2009 22:07 | Iraq | South Coast | World

My husband arrived here in 2002 refused on every avenue of asylum, we were allowed to marry and given hopes that he would be given a spouse visa only to be refused today, and told that Mohammed, my 3 year old son and I should all return to Iraq

After recieving this letter from the Home Office today I am deeply concerned as to what the Home Office are thinking. They have stated in their letter that "the child was born in 2006 and therefore has no established connection with the UK" and therefore under Article 8 of the Human Rights Act it has been deemed safe for myself a young, western British woman and a 3 year old British boy to return to a country that my husband fled from due to persecution.
This system is highly questionable and I really don't know where they are coming from with all their statements. You can't seek any advice from teh Home Office as they are so abrupt, rude and unhelpful as it seems all they do is read from scripts.
After reading articles that young men who had voluntarily been removed and those who have been forcily removed back to the Baghdad and Kirkuk regions of Iraq have gone missing or are being held, and even worse been killed, I am deeply concerned as to what our future holds.
