UK Border Agency Raid Sees Child Kept in Van for Many Hours

Apparently new reports are flooding the internet about a nine year old boy who spent a terrifying three hours incarceration while his mother was in the hospital. The boy was separated from his mother and kept in a van by the UK Border Agency.

The agency held onto the boy in a van for three hours after an early morning deportation raid. The UK Border Agency said that the boy was not distressed. However, the family said that the child repeatedly asked to see his mother and was terrified during the incarceration.

The family was taken to Yarl's Wood emigration removal center near Clapham, Bedfordshire on November 17^th. They were told that they would be deported the following day. However, their lawyers filed fresh evidence relating to their case, and they were released on December 8^th.

In a statement given by a translator, the Iranian child described being very scared after the deportation raid. During this raid, his mother collapsed and was taken to the hospital by an ambulance. The child went on to say that he was very scared, and they put him into a van and told him that he was going with them. The boy was very upset and even commented that he had to return his guitar and camera to school. The body wanted to return the equipment himself, but he noted that the UK Border Agency did it for him.

The boy said that they tried to talk to him in the van, but he was frightened because the UK Border Agency looked like big monsters. He said that he wished that he could have run away from them, because he had never felt so lonely in his whole life.
