'asylum seekers snatch squads', Kill again
On Sunday 25th November 2001 a 'immigration snatch squad', (two police
officers and two immigration officials), raided a high rise flat in Streatham,
south west London. Five people were in the third floor flat, one person fell to
his death from the balcony, trying to escape.
Jenny Jones, Green Party member on the Greater London Assembly, has
called for a halt to the activities of the Immigration Service 'snatch squads'
in London, and is urging the Government to review the high pressure targets it
has imposed on the Service.
Jenny warned in September that an increase in such incidences and deaths
was a possible consequence of the planned ten fold increase in the arrests of
failed asylum seeker in London.
Jenny said: "I am saddened and shocked by this death. My condolences go out
to his family. I'm sure that all of us on the Metropolitan Police Authority will
want to know why such a terrible incident happened."
Jenny Jones believes "there should be an immediate halt
to the operation of the asylum snatch squads in London and the Government should
urgently review the targets it is imposing upon the Immigration Service. A ten
fold increase in arrests of failed asylum seekers could mean more such deaths
and incidents.
