Iraqi asylum seekers facing deportation

Iraqi officials are screening failed Iraqi asylum seekers in UK immigration detention centres to assess whether they will accept forcible deportation back to Baghdad.
The highly unusual procedure, organised by the UK Borders Agency (UKBA), is in preparation for a flight next Wednesday when up to 70 men are expected to be removed from Britain.
The operation, deporting them via the central provinces of Iraq, is in direct contravention of United Nations guidelines. The UN high commissioner for refugees opposes forced returns to the area because of continuing suicide bombings and violence.
“to assess whether they will accept forcible deportation back to Baghdad”
Why ask them if they will accept deportation – just deport them whether they like it or not.
What the hell is going on in Britain – do the job – deport them.
