A letter from Meltem Avcil, aged 14 behind the Wire at Yarl's Wood

11-10-2007 16:29

In August 2007 the immigration came for us again in the morning at 7 o'clock. My friends were sleeping in our house. As soon as my mom opened door they rushed in. They do that to all families but can't they think why do they have to come in the morning? Sometimes they awake small babies from their hot bed! Even sometimes they get teenagers to think y future is down. They said to us to be quick, they were shouting in our ears. One time they lead my friends away with out her saying bye to me! How do they feel that I'm never going to see her again?

contract, without full understanding of the political dimensions
involved. Our chief executive [Phillip Wyatt] had made it quite clear
to all concerned that we will not be operating any further flights of
this nature ... We are not neutral on the issue and have sympathy for
all dispossessed persons in the world, hence our stance."

On dawn raids (and what happens after)

07-10-2007 20:41

Invariably, it is familes with children who are targeted as they are more likely to be found at home and detained all together.
Baby Ashleen and her mother Juliet were taken in a dawn raid after their door was smashed. Nathan and Jeremiah, three and two years old, were detained with their parents during another dawn raid. Another young mother took an overdose on the eve of her planned deportation, wanting to die and was taken to hospital: her four years old daughter was left in the detention centre on her own.
