'Britain sent me back to Mugabe. Now I'm in hiding.'
Observer

=====
The 29-year-old man squirmed in his seat. The interrogation room in the jail suddenly seemed claustrophobic; the walls appeared to be closing in. The young man was visibly afraid: he found it difficult to swallow.

Only days before Zuka Kalinga had been safe in a British detention centre awaiting his forced return to Zimbabwe. There he had watched in dismay as television reports showed bulldozers razing the homes of opponents of Zimbabwe's dictator, Robert Mugabe.
.....

'Tell us about your father. What happened to him?' the interrogator persisted. Kalinga shook his head in sorrow: 'He disappeared'.

The interrogator smiled: 'Do you want to disappear too?...'

1. The U.S. Government's Policy Is No Different for Zimbabweans
Zimbabweans in the U.S. are also subject to forced repatriation. There is no temporary protected status available for them.

3. This is horrific!
Mugabe is an insane tyrant, and Blair is totally callous!
