Today, Thursday 15 November the UK government will deport Meltem Avcil, a Kurdish refugee who will turn 14-years-old on 21 November.

This Letter was written by Meltem to the German Embassy in the UK.

Dear German Embassy,

My name is Meltem Avcil. I am going to be 14 this month, on the 21st.

I am in detention centre since 27th August 2007.

I only want to say a few things:

I have been in detention for 3 months.

Would your heart take it if your children was in here without seeing her friends and families on the Birthday week and no education.

The only thing I am begging for is don't accept us. Please, my life would be destroyed then.

Please don't accept us.

Thanks very much,

Yours Sincerely,

Meltem Avcil
