Background (Preamble):
Child 'M' must stay!
Child M is 8 years old. He came to the Uk in July 2007 with is mother, older sister and older brother. While they were here the Iranian authorities searched and boarded up their home. They were warned by friends not to return to Iran because an arrest warrant had been issued for his mother and sister.
The family claimed asylum in the UK in September 2007. Their initial claim was turned down because of lack of evidence. The family were due to be deported to Iran on 18th July 2008. As a result of compelling new evidence being obtained to support their asylum claim an Injunction against their immediate removal was issued at the High Court on 17th July 2008.
The whole family, including the 8 year old child, were detained at Yarl’s Wood Immigration Removal Centre for 51 days, they were released on the 4th of september 2008.
They believe they will face the death penalty in Iran for the charges against them, which include distributing copies of The Satanic Verses.
