[quote]An asylum seeker is holed up in a hotel room in Kabul in fear for his life after the home secretary breached a high court order not to remove him from the UK and instead put him on a plane back to Afghanistan.
Samim Bigzad, 23, says he is a prime target for the Taliban because he worked in construction for the Afghan government and American companies before he sought sanctuary in the UK.
Now he is back in Kabul he is even more fearful after a group of armed men in plainclothes arrived at the hotel on Wednesday and demanded to know his whereabouts.[/quote]
[quote]“I am very scared,” Bigzad said in a call from his hotel room in Kabul. “The people who work at the hotel are bringing food to me and have told me I must not leave this room at all. I think the hotel staff have a gun for protection if the men come back and try to force their way in.”
The first high court order preventing the asylum seeker’s removal was issued on Tuesday evening by Mr Justice Morris. By that time Bigzad had already been removed from the UK by the Home Office and had been put on to a Turkish Airlines flight to Istanbul. From there he was due to board a connecting flight to Kabul.
The aim of the high court order was to prevent him from being put on the second flight. However, the Home Office decided not to abide by the order and put him on the plane to Kabul where he arrived on Wednesday morning.
His lawyers then obtained a second, strongly worded high court order from Mr Justice Jay which described the home secretary’s breach of the first court order as “prima facie contempt of court”.[/quote]
I am so glad I left that embarrassment of a country.
Violating multiple high court orders is the sure sign of a Strong and Stable government that serves the people.
They better not get away with this. I am fucking incensed, this puts our whole system of law at risk.
The only person that needs to be removed here is Amber Rudd.
Alright, so UK Home Office is dead set in undermining UK's own interests, against court order if need be. What possible benefit would it bring to undermine Afghans' goodwill and trust towards British govt? Can someone explain why would anyone support this move?

She won her seat in the cabinet and Parliament by about 10 votes after several recounts. I hope she gets booted for contempt of court for this. What a shitty person.
Well good luck on us finding many willing workers in the future, not that I am advocating a future war. Knowing how shitty the world is right now though we're bound to end up in another, then abuse the power the government has.
I can't even use we anymore, fucking UK is a cesspool. I would have nothing to do with this senseless abuse, I would offer him a place to stay as long as he got back in his feet yet my government sends him to fucking Kabul??
I want out, teach me Mr Kotov
He's been flown back to the UK and his lawyers have filed contempt of court proceedings against the Home Office
