All the big national asylum aid groups, throughout the whole asylum hate era, have been cynically and without explanation ignoring a legal item, whose cover-up they could end, that is a massive advance in democracy and would help every asylum seeker.

When You Raid Someone's Home at Dawn, That's a Dawn Raid
27-01-2007 00:36
The Home Office was recently asked in Parliament how many occasions over the last two years their officers carried out dawn raids on asylum seekers accompanied by the police. Immigration minister Liam Byrne's answer was that the Immigration and Nationality Directorate (IND) "do not conduct 'raids' against asylum seekers." Officers, he insisted, "undertake operational visits to detain and remove persons who no longer have the right to remain in the UK and do so in line with operational policy and guidance." Byrne, however, revealed that there were 8,865 and 13,953 police-supported 'operations' in 2005 and 2006 respectively, some of which, he said, "would have been undertaken early in the morning for operational reasons."
Government Operated Unlawful Policy Over the Detention of Young Asylum Seekers
27-01-2007 00:01
Home secretary John Reid admitted, during a High Court test case in which under-18's were seeking damages for loss of liberty, that the government operated an "unlawful policy" over the detention of scores of young asylum seekers. The asylum seekers, in four test cases, aged under 18 when they arrived unaccompanied in the UK but where treated as adults by the Home Office. Unaccompanied children as young as 14 have been detained with adults for long periods and subjected to inappropriate behaviour by staff and other detaineesOf course, the story was almost ignored by mainstream media, which preferred to focus on the released paedophile and the over-crowdedness of 'normal' prisons.

US occupation turns 3.7 million Iraqis into refugees
24-01-2007 17:01
The United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) reported this month that the US invasion and occupation of Iraq has forced one out of every eight Iraqis to flee their homes—more than 3.7 million people. The agency described the refugee crisis caused by the Iraq war as the worst in the Middle East since the ethnic cleansing that accompanied the creation of Israel in 1948. The Zionist military and paramilitary death squads drove an estimated 711,000 Palestinian Arabs from their land.
