The truly shocking result of setting up an inhumane tabloid-pleasing asylum system:
From 20/11/2007:
Quote:
For the first time, Britain will tomorrow deport a failed asylum seeker back to Uzbekistan. Jahongir Sidikov, a member of the banned main opposition party Erk, is currently held in Harmondswoth Detention Centre. His ticket has already been purchased for deportation tomorrow.
Previously, as a matter of policy, this country did not deport political activists to Uzbekistan because they will face severe torture and probable death. The totalitarian Uzbek government has since become even more repressive, with widespread imprisonment, torture and extra-judicial killing of dissidents. The immigration officers who escort Jahongir onto that plane are in effect implementing capital punishment

Sending political dissidents back to repressive totalitarian regimes with ample torture chambers isn't exactly in tune with Gordon Brown's statement:

I will stand up for British values

Since then he's had a stay while his case is 'reviewed', but there's surely nothing to review, it's illegal and immoral to deport people to places where they face persecution and death.
