Another inhuman deportation

15-02-2005 21:58

The Home Office is currently considering forcibly an 18 year old suicidal teenager who suffers from panic attacks, back to Albania where both of his parents were assassinated and he was beaten by the police at the age of 12. I believe he has no family there yet the Home Office perversely defends the arrest claiming it might be in his best interests. I've not seen anything on this story except for on the Channel 4 news so I don't know if there is a campaign going or not but I'm sure writing to the Home Office wouldn't do any harm for a start.

The Paper suggests that, as the UK's FIRST conviction for trafficking in 2004 , other countries should follow suit and hand out severe penalties to these operators BUT ALSO , that all countries should PUNISH the men who frequent brothels and cause the supply, they being the demand. They are as guilty as the operators; it is for their gratification that these women are sorely used, collecting a mere one hundreth of the price that these detestable frequenters pay, causing them to stay in forced prostitution until they can function no longer.
