Another Charter Flight
The Home Office are planning to remove failed asylum
seeking Iraqi Kurds by 'Charter flight' in the very
near future, they have refused to give the date of
the planned flight. The Immigration & Nationality
Department (IND) would only say: 'Removal is to be
effected by charter flight. |
Iraqi Kurds Asylum Seekers in UK |
For reasons of operational security it is not the
policy of the Immigration Service to disclose
logistical information about such removals but we
anticipate removal will be before the end of
February.' Then says 48 hours notice will be given.
Protest against the resumption of 'Charter Flights'
Manchester January 19, 2007
The Home Office is continuing to arrest and detain
failed asylum seeking Iraqi/Kurds across the UK with
the intent to deport them.
Iraqi is not safe for anyone, violence continues to
spiral: UNHCR estimates that there are at least 1.6
million Iraqis internally displaced with at least
another 1.8 million in neighbouring states.
Iraqi Kurdish asylum seekers are the victims of war
and uncertain future.
Join us outside the Home Office to make the
following demands:
- Stop the policy of enforced returns of failed
asylum seeking Iraqi Kurds to Kurdistan (northern
Iraq).
- Release all detainees.
- Review cases of all who are still waiting and let
treat them according to the European Human Rights
law.
- Recognise that Iraq is not safe for anyone, and
that people should not be returned there.
- Regularise the status of asylum seekers from Iraq
to whom they have so far refused protection, by
giving them leave to remain, and the right either to
work or to decent levels of benefits, in line with
the proposals made by the Joint Council for the
Welfare of Immigrants in their document "Recognising
Rights, Recognising Political Realities" published
on 13 July.
We urge all organizations, human rights campaigners,
refugee organizations and trade unions to support us
and make every effort to end this inhumane policy of
the Home office.
