More details from petition creator

Mr Brown, we have noted your concern for the population of Zimbabwe, and your wish to send unmistakable signals of this concern to the Zimbabwean government.

So we are disturbed by the recent determination of the UK Asylum and Immigration Tribunal, in the case of HS, that unsuccessful Zimbabwean asylum seekers may safely be deported back home. It would be ironic if the first unmistakable signal from your Government were to be the resumption of forced deportations. These were suspended in January 2002, and human rights in Zimbabwe have not improved since then.

The AIT’s determination is permissive but not mandatory. There is no legal or other compulsion on your Government. We ask that the current suspension on forced removal to Zimbabwe remains in place. This would be more consistent with your public position on Zimbabwe.

We also ask that the Zimbabweans involved be freed from detention and harassment and that they be enabled both to support themselves and to take part in the debate about the future of their country. They should be allowed to seek employment and so relieved from destitution. In this way Britain would give Zimbabwe a real example of how to implement human rights.
