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!

How do they feel that I'm never going to see her again?
