"Why are they imprisoning me here for so long? I am a victim of the Islamic Republic of Iran. I fought against their injustices for the rights of people in Iran and had to leave because they tried to arrest me. I came to the UK and they have locked me up without rights. It is inhumane. I have been forced to take this drastic action. I haven't been outside or seen any part of Britain since the day I arrived. They have put me in the detention centre like a criminal." Fariat Mohammadi

Fariat Mohammadi, an Iranian refugee who fought against the Islamic regime in Iran, has been held in detention since his arrival in the UK 11 months ago (16 June 2008). Fariat, is currently being held in Colnbrook started to refuse food and stitched his eyes and mouth closed seven days ago.

He was working in Iran for an opposition party against the Islamic regime. After his friend was arrested he fled to Iraq to fight against the Islamic regime from there until his life was again threatened by Iranian security forces, at which point he came to the UK to claim asylum.

Dashty Jamal from the International Federation of Iraqi Refugees says:

"Fariat is a victim of the Home Office policy, which destroys the humanity of refugees. He has not been given a chance to live as a human being in the UK. The UK Government tells us it supports the struggle for human rights in Iran and yet it itself represses the Iranian people who come here to flee persecution. We call for his immediate release from detention."
