Huseini Abubakar - May Makwangwala - Still here
Both Huseini and May didn't fly. May, diagnosed with very high blood pressure, and definitely deemed medically unfit to fly by Serco/UKBA doctor at Yarl's Wood. Huseini's UKBA caseworker appears not to have been handed his medical reports until last Friday and though Huseini has not been told why the removal was stayed, it is very, very likely that he too was medically unfit to fly.
Now if May is deemed unfit to fly, surely she is not fit to be detained. That her detention and attempted deportation, were more than likely contributors to her high blood pressure, will more than likely have gone unnoticed and will stay unnoticed by UKBA!
More clear however is Huseini's case, both the GEO/UKBA doctor at Harmondsworth IRC and two independent doctors, have stated that Huseini, due to his chronic medical condition, is not fit to be detained and by default not fit to fly. He has been in detention for two months and still does not have access to the medicines he was prescribed and using whilst at liberty. Lack of prescribed medication has led to a chronic worsening of his condition.
Huseini does not have or has been able to find a solicitor to take his case on.
Now have to wait and see what UKBA plan to do.
Thanks to all who Emailed/faxed/phoned, your efforts are never wasted.
John O for May and Huseini
