A third set of removal directions have been served on Ismail Cherbal and Safia Aouf, nationals of Algeria, and their British-born children Sonia aged four and son Aya aged 15 months. Who have lived in Blackburn, Lancashire, for almost five years. They are currently detained in Yarl's Wood Immigration Removal Centre and are due to be forcibly removed from the UK on Sunday 31st May, at 15:00 hours on Air Algerie Flight AH2055.
Ismail was born in the town of Alquba, Algeria, one of four brothers. On May 1st, 1997, at the age of 22, he was called up for mandatory military service. Two months later, he received a letter from home saying that his brother Mostafa had been killed on active service with the army. He was refused compassionate leave and was unable to return home until December, 1998.

The stress of the uncertainty over the family's future has severely affected Safia's mental health; she has been treated for some time now for depression and her GP has referred her to Blackburn Community Mental Health Care Team for an assessment. She was awaiting an appointment when the family was detained. Since the family has been in Yarl's Wood, Ismail says that Safia's medication for depression has been taken from her because the staff there fears she may self-harm.
