Approximately fifty men originally from northern Iraq have been given deportation tickets telling them they will be removed to the Kurdistan Regional Government controlled area of northern Iraq.  They are currently being held in immigration prisons in Heathrow, Gatwick and Doncaster.   

Ibrahim Ali Karim, an Iraqi refugee being held in Colnbrook detention centre, tried to commit suicide last night when staff told him he was going to be deported to Iraqi Kurdistan the next day. 

More than 50 people gathered outside the Home Office in central London on Monday 26th October to demand the immediate release of Iraqi detainees who were deported to Baghdad two weeks ago, but were returned to detention after the Iraqi authorities refused to admit them.
