Jannatul Chowdhury was rushed to Bedford hospital - her daughter Nazifa (13) and her son Ishtiaque (17) were left imprisoned in Yarl's Wood on their own. The children were later released from Yarl's Wood and Jannatul was able to join them when she was discharged from hospital. Despite the fact that the mental health of all three of them has significantly deteriorated since, and that the Home Office has not responded to a fresh claim submitted in July, the Chowdhury family have been detained at Yarl's Wood again. They were woken on Monday morning by hammering on the door and a snatch squad bundling them into caged vehicles. Jannatul says that her children were kidnapped in Bangladesh, leaving her and her husband, Naushad, no choice other than to pay the ransom. Jannatul says the authorities in Bangladesh refused to take any action over the kidnapping which left the family with the belief that they could never again be safe there. So they fled to Britain. Naushad died of a heart attack in December 2005. Emergency heart surgery had been cancelled 3 times. There is an ongoing negligence case being pursued against Liverpool NHS Trust. Nauchad is buried in Liverpool. Since the family's release from Yarl's Wood in the spring, Jannatul has had numerous visits to the mental health crisis team. Her operation for gallstones has yet to take place, as she was too ill mentally to go through with this in July when she started seeing the crisis team. She is still awaiting a second date for surgery. The fresh asylum claim is based on the possibility that if Jannatul were to commit suicide, the children would be left alone and uncared for and that the children already have mental health problems that would be exacerbated by their mother's death. On the 15th June 2007, Dr Julia Nelki, Consultant Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist, described Jannatuls condition ; "Ms Chowdhury presents as a suicide risk with increasing intrusive suicidal thoughts ... and possibly Post Traumatic Stress Disorder - triggered and re-triggered by the combination and accumulation of recent life events". Dr Nelki said about 13 year old Nazifa ; "Nazifa has PTSD [post traumatic stress disorder]". The family's legal representatives wrote on the 12th September 2007 about Ishtiaque, aged 17 ; "Dr Nelki opines that Ishtiaque has significant symptoms of depression and has post traumatic stress disorder and an impaired mental state. He presents as a high risk from mental illness". In a medical report on Jannatul, Dr Chandra Ghosh, Consultant Forensic Psychiatrist, wrote on the 25th July 2007 ; It is recognised that up to 15% of individuals with sever major depressive disorder died by suicide. In her case, the risk is significantly increased because the person who was most important to her had died in this country and is buried in Liverpool Nazifa and Ishtiaque have been seen by psychiatrists at Alder Hey Children's hospital who are monitoring their progress. The psychiatrists involved have voiced grave reservations about the precipitous actions of the Home Office during the family's ongoing treatment. Jannatul is in a very fragile state and is confused and incoherent. This has left Ishtiaque carrying the full burden of his family's predicament. For a young person who has escaped kidnap, witnessed the death of his father and is going through the horror of detention for a second time, it is imposing an almost unbearable strain on this young man. I feel it is likely that this forced removal will aggravate Jannatuls suicidal condition and the childrens post traumatic stress disorder, and that this will effect the comfort and safety of other passengers. I urge you to not remove this family by force on Gulf Air. Yours sincerely, `a34U7DXɺ؍qV:؍7h6h656B*CJOJQJ^J_HmH phsH 4h6h6B*CJH*OJQJ^J_HmH phsH 7h6h65>*B*CJOJQJ^J_HmH phsH 4h6h65B*CJOJQJ^J_HmH phsH "h6h65>*CJOJQJaJh6h6CJOJQJaJhweh6CJOJQJaJ1h6h6B*CJOJQJ^J_HmH phsH hweh65OJQJaJJ`as34 q r F G [\ $^a$gd6$1$7$8$H$^a$gd6 $^a$gd6 $^a$gd6 $^a$gd6X\67FGX$dh^a$gd6 $^a$gd6 $^a$gd6)0P:p6/ =!"#$%<@< t7NormalCJaJmH sH tH DA@D Default Paragraph FontRi@R  Table Normal4 l4a (k@(No ListX2 1!zXJ`as34 qrFG[ \ 67FGZ0pƀ0ʀ0ʀ0ɀ0ʀ0ʀ0ʀ0ʀ0ʀ0ʀ0ʀ0О0ʀ0О0О0О0О0О00ʀ0ʀ0ʀ0ʀ0О0ʀ0О0଀0ʀ0ʀ`as34 qrFG\ 67FGZ0@&dc0`dc0`dc0`dc0`dc0`:w05?
