Ali Serir - Deportation Stayed
A week
of hard campaigning for Ali Serir paid off yesterday when the Home
Office agreed to stay the deportation pending a review of Ali's case.
Ali is still in prison but a bail application will be made as soon
as possible.
Clearly the fight to keep
Ali in the UK is not yet over. Nonetheless celebrations are in order
- but be prepared for future action.
The Ali Serir Campaign would like to thank all who signed the petition.

Ali Serir Must Stay - Urgent Signatures wanted
An Algerian asylum
seeker attempted to hang himself in Lindholme removal centre on
the morning of Sunday 27th April 2003. Luckily his cell mate (another
Algerian asylum seeker who has been in the UK for 14 years) came back
and cut him down before permanent damage was done. He was taken to
hospital but no word has come back to the detainees of his health
or whereabouts, his clothes and belongings are still in the cell.
An ex-detainee, commenting
on the attempted self harm said:
"I found this story very
moving to read. For me personally it brings back tears of my experiences
back in detention. Unfortunately and worryingly - the indifferent
reaction from staff of the removal centre is neither uncommon nor
surprising. There seems to be an unbelievable cruelty among staff
and immigration service that there is no need for detainees to know
anything about the whereabouts or wellbeing of the victim."
