Statement of Detainee 007


“We were prevented to call our families, friends and lawyers for many days. The sad news is that their phone has been cancelled for no obvious reasons. I do not know if they will clear it again. It is just unbelievable and reckless behaviour.


As you are aware, I have had enough. My objective is now to go to Algeria . We are treated so badly without proper justification whatsoever and are under atrocious conditions. The Home Office is playing politics with our lives. Although we have agreed to go back to our country since last month we are still unlawfully detained in this limbo. In fact, we consider ourselves now as hostages.


I cannot wait to join my parents. I just hope it will be soon. As soon as I get there, my wife and child will follow me. I just wonder now if life is easy there.


I would like to thank you again for your support and please thank the others, Hhugs, Yvonne Ridley, SACC, CAMPACC, Cage Prisoners, Stop Political Terror. IRR etc.


One important thing is that I may need some financial assistance before I leave this country. I would like it only when I genuinely leave the UK .


Thanks for all your assistance and patience with us. May Allah guide.”


Detainee 007 returned to Algeria in June 2006. He was arrested and detained by the Algerians for a few days before being freed and allowed to return home to his parents. His family is due to join him soon.
