| MY LIFE IN UK AS AN ASYLUM SEEKER |
Hello friends and foes, This is my seventh year in United kingdom as an asylum seeker and because of recent events i feel i need to write my true life experience in this blog. Some will find it interesting and others boring however i know it will inspire others too.
For my own safety , i have tried not to use my real name but all the event are true.
I left my war torn country in west africa and claimed asylum in United Lingdom in 2002 when my life and that of my family were in danger.I lost my father and my pregnant parner when they were tortured and brutaly killed because my whereabout was not disclosed.
My asylum baptism started started at Heathrow airport, because as someone escaping from danger, i claimed asylum immediatly at the airport. The stern immigration officer toldme to sit down and after ten mins he came with a photographer and my photo was taken,after that i was taken to the luggage section to identify my bag and all the contents were searched. I was then sent to a holding place for about five hours.
At the holding place i saw people from different nationalities waiting and a lot of confution began in my head,what is going on here? most of the people look tired and dejected and after somre time , a smart and stern looking lady ask me to follow her to her office where i was bombarded with over three hundred questions about my parents name address and that of other family members, schools i have attended and churches and proffesion, and even how i came to the country and who assisted me.Before all this interrogations finished, i was sent to the airport clinic to be Xray for a reason i dont know.i was later sent to a place to be finger printed and my eyes scanned Let i forget, i arrive at the airport at 6AM and all this ordeals ened at around 10PM. I was given an identity card awith a letter IS86 with a warning, YOU ARE A PERSON LIABLE TO BE DETAINED. I was then handed over to an organization called refugees arrival project.
