Public meeting on deportations to Iraq

26 March 2007

A public meeting in London, organised by the Coalition to Stop Deportations to Iraq and the International Federation of Iraqi Refugees, to discuss the Home Office's Iraq removal policy.

Why does the Home Office remove people to dangerous places like Iraqi Kurdistan and the Democratic Republic of Congo? What can be done to help the 1.7 million Iraqis displaced within Iraq and more than 1.7 million who have fled to neighbouring countries? Why is Iraq - including Kurdistan - not safe for returned asylum seekers? How are rejected asylum seekers made destitute by the Home Office? What can we do to stop the Home Office's removal policy?

7pm-9pm, Monday 26 March 2007
Committee Room 10, House of Commons, Westminster SW1

Speakers:

John McDonnell MP
Jean Lambert MEP
Dashty Jamal, International Federation of Iraqi Refugees and Coalition to Stop Deportations to Iraq
Tim Finch, Refugee Council
Arun Kundnani, Institute of Race Relations
Emma Ginn, National Coalition of Anti-Deportation Campaigns
Kurdish Asylum seeker who was detained
