Craig, do you have any links to further information about this – not that I need any more, but it might make a reposting of info more persuasive if there are multiple sources.

Thanks

I wrote to my MP yesterday using theyworkforyou.com.

I remember in 2007, Jahongir Sidiko was almost deported but was saved last minute by internet action started on this blog. I hope we can make a difference again.

Done – http://wp.me/p1w0fz-uM

Nothing about the couple in this Swansea newspaper but there seem to be quite a number of reports about other deportations.

.
Is the UK Border agency particularly active in the area?

I have written to my MP and it is vital that they get as many representations as possible. I do not question Craigs motives to post this appeal here, but the wooly interpreation of the Governments own policies.
Who is going to be next? Arsalan? Uzbek in the UK? myself?

Cameron is planning a three line whip against the Europhobes deciding to vote for a national referendum, advertising the cause and initiating a future vote that would almost definately waste some serious money on a futile set of leading questions to us all.
Well, not that it will be an issue decided by EU citizens, cause I do not have the vote in a referendum on membership in Europe, the vote will almost certainly be for UK citizens only.

Experintia docet stultos is my message to Clegg and Hague, you will wake up with those you’d bedded!

Done, sent to my local MP.

Will try William Hague and Teresa May now.

Craig, Amnesty, who I’ve just phoned, work through asylum seekers’ legal representative because deportation is a legal process. Amnesty just support appeals. I’ve written to Hague, May, and my MP, Steve McCabe and posted your blog link on Facebook. Do they have legal representation? If not how quickly could it be acquired? As you say it is urgent.

Had to use a Richmond (Yorks) Postcode: e.g. the one at
Richmondshire Conservative Club,
12 Newbiggin

but explained that it was necessary to do so.

& Teresa May can be e-mailed on

Well, officially it’s

William Hague is even more of a useless tosser than I thought he was. I’ve emailed a number of his predecessors and always had a reply, even if it was so insulting to the intelligence that it made me spit.

Did email to Hague, May and own MP. It was not possible to have a meeting with him and hopefully that email will work. Although I had no response.
.
Unfortunately, I do not believe that any of these will work. These people do not have heart and the only thing that will stop them is to prove that Malyshevs cannot be deported due to risk of facing prosecution.
.

Has anyone tried this http://www.asylumaid.org.uk/pages/how_to_get_advice_from_asylum_aid.html
.

Might be Malyshevs or their representatives can give them a call urgently?

What about this?
.
Advice on detention
If you need urgent advice on detention, deportation or removal outside office hours you can telephone the IAS on 020 7378 9191 and leave a message on the answer phone. State briefly your problem and provide your name and contact telephone number. Your call should then be returned the next working day.
.
Bail for Immigration Detainees

Bail for Immigration Detainees is an independent charity that exists to challenge immigration detention in the UK. They work with asylum seekers and migrants, in removal centres and prisons, to secure their release from detention. BID assists detained asylum seekers and migrants to make applications for release from Immigration Act detention. BID does not prepare substantive immigration or asylum applications. BID will only help with applications for release from detention where the detainee’s legal representative is unwilling or unable to help, or where the detainee has no

legal representation.

Does anyone know this chap personally? He is Human Rights Professor and was also a practitioner. He might be able to advise something.
.
http://www.conorgearty.co.uk/

I’ve phoned Hywel Francis but he was not available, to try and find if the Malyshev’s have legal representation, and who this may be. I’m waiting for him to get back. Surely they cannot be deported without legal representation.

Not being funny Uzbek as I know you are being helpful but perhaps Prof Gearty’s colleague at Matrix Chambers, Mrs Cherie Bliar nee Booth, could help. She is supposed to be good on human rights! Couldn’t resist.

Very much off topic but the BBC are cock-a-hoop at the rumours that Muammar Gaddafi has been captured in Sirte.

Mary,
.
This is not funny really. 1st I did not know that Cherie is in the same Chumber, 2nd does this mean that they all there are so bad. I have heard from some of
Gearty’s former students that he is a good tutor and is really passionate about Human Right and particularly practical aspect of it.
.
I strongly believe that only if we find something in the law that prevents UK authorities to send Malyshevs back to Uzbekistan we will succeed. And knocking all doors is the best practice when you do not really know much about matter.

John,
.
Mr Murray is not providing much of the details but I presume that Malyshevs were smart enough to get some legal advice while putting their asylum case before UKBA. I presume that probably their case was not strong enough e.g. they have not been involved in some activities back in Uzbekistan that Uzbek authorities consider to be illegal but that are legal here (opposition for example or Human Rights Organisation). I presume that their claim was probably more based on them being Russians (ethnic minority) but Uzbek regime is not known for persecution of any particular minority and that on this merits their case have failed but they should have had another attempt (one at least) to appeal.
.
The major point onto which they now have to draw attention is that no matter of their past but if they are deported NOW they will be prosecuted just because they have claimed asylum abroad. And this unfortunately is not bogus claim.

Uzbek in the UK, Asylum Aid gave me three telephone numbers of solicitors who act in Yarls Wood. I’ve contacted Laura at Wilsons Solicitors who is going to get back to me. Unless we can find out who their legal representative is I doubt anything can be done through Amnesty.

“Very much off topic but the BBC are cock-a-hoop at the rumours that Muammar Gaddafi has been captured in Sirte.”
.
His trial ? will in the most part be…In closed session.
“He got in an argument with the judge, who closed the trial to the public”
http://uk.ask.com/wiki/Trial_of_Saddam_Hussein
.
IF ? he comes to trial, it will have already been decided that it will be so, Blair can rest easy, as can a few others.

John,
.
You are right more details are needed. Mr Murray needs to urge Malyshevs or their reps to contact Legal Aid. I also heard that RMJ are quite good and they have mobile number advertised.
.
Other thing that Malyshevs can add is that their name and case was now made public since Mr Murray revealed their names on his web site and that there is no way their failed asylum case can be kept secret from Uzbek authorities.

Uzbek in the UK, Laura got back. The family are not on their books. I presume any legal representation must have come from Swansea.
.
Unfortunately I have to go out now. I feel powerless.

If I was a barrister, I would not choose to breathe the same air as Mrs Bliar/Booth and would not admit her to my chambers.

This is what I got from Hague:

Thank you for your email to The Rt Hon William Hague MP.

I guess the contact details on the fco is worth going for. But probably Theresa May as Home Secretary is the person whose responsibility this is.

I sent a message to Yvette Cooper to see if she will help.

I’ve written to my own MP as a resident of Swansea, so it should concern him directly, because the Malyshevs could also be regarded as his constituents.

Gaddafi has been killed. The blood lust of Hague, Cameron, Fox, Sarkozy, Berlusconi and all the NATO warmongers will be satisfied.

Gaddafi’s death hasn’t been confirmed yet but seems likely. I guess Iran has got to start bracing itself.

Is not Syria suppose to be next? I have no sympathy for Gaddafi but it would have been better if he was tried in court. On the other hand he did not give himself up and has chosen to stand till last. He was ruling Libya for over 30 years. Do not you think that it was enough for both Libyans and himself?

Any news on Malyshevs? The plane to Tashkent departs at 9.15 pm tomorrow.

Tried for what? Bombing Libyan cities? Oh no, that was Cameron. Shooting people from helicopters? Oh no, that was Sarkozy. Using Libyan oil money to fund Islamist terrorists? Oh no, that was Obama.

I guess he will buried in the same “islamic way” as Obama was supposedly buried
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FbL8WDtrYI

Tried for being in power for over 30 years. Surely one cannot rule a nation by just being nice and popular supported by everyone and not oppressing anyone.
.
In the same way you are trying to justify Gaddafi one could justify any dictator. Dictators usually do not bomb cities on their nation they just kill few hundreds or thousands and plant fear in hearts and minds of millions. That is how they manage to stay in power for a very long time.

On the other hand life is very interesting and sometimes controversial thing.
.
One who is out of desperation steals some food or clothes can be tried and if found guilty face penalties or even imprisonment because laws of the state where one lives are particularly harsh.
.
Another one who rules a nation for over 30 years (surely not always supported by popular content), deposits large sums of money in foreign accounts cannot be tried and prosecuted JUST BECAUSE it is against International law to intervene on the matters of sovereign state.

In the same way you are trying to justify Gaddafi

huh? If you have to resort to that sort of nonsense, Uzbek, either you don’t believe what you’re saying or your mind is very confused. I didn’t ‘try to justify’ him; I referred to some things which he did not do, but others did, the sort of things he has been accused of by lying propagandists. It may be that he did something he should be tried for, but facts are hard to come by. Do you have any? Killing people – Libya has capital punishment, I believe. Did he order extra-judicial killings? Oh no, that was Obama. Do you think Obama and friends should be tried also?

Not quite on topic, but closer than Colonel Gadaffi – idiotic British immigration rules.

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/20/arts/britains-conflicting-entry-rules-stymie-visiting-artists.html

Uzbek, no news on the Malyshevs. It’s disturbing. The waiting is like Troy Davis all over again. I suspect the outcome will be as disappointing.
.
As to Gaddafi, yes he was despotic, but what the west has done is just as bad, if not worse. And it’s all for Libyan oil. I can see civil war for the foreseeable future. Our TV reports are replete with victory celebrations but there are others, not so supportive, who are lying low for the moment until their day comes.
.
Also there is no clear idea who the UK/US puppet is who will replace Gaddafi. There are a lot of factions in the National Transitional Council and finding a leader to knit together the various strands will not be easy.

Another one who rules a nation for over 30 years (surely not always supported by popular content),

Queen Elizabeth I
Queen Elizabeth II

But seriously, are you suggesting there should be a cut-off date in international law – right, Mr President, you’ve been in charge for 29 years, 11 months and 29 days. We’ll be round at the crack of dawn. Will you come quietly?

deposits large sums of money in foreign accounts

It’s said that Germany has gold on deposit in New York. Do you think Frau Merkel should be prosecuted? Perhaps you think Hugo Chavez can be let off the hook as he has asked for Venezuela’s gold to be returned from London. What about the Chinese holding all that US debt? Perhaps you are too ready to make assumptions – why did Libya have funds on deposit in the USA? Perhaps something to do with their Sovereign Wealth Funds? Hm?

I did not say that I support killing of Gaddafi but it is true that I have no sympathy for him or any other dictator who either behaves like charismatic leader or keep his profile low but on the same background based on lies, deception and fear of prosecution of anyone who dare to stand against them.
.
As I mentioned earlier it is hard to judge whether military operation in Libya is morally right or wrong. International law prescribes all states do not intervene on the matters of each other despite of horrible crimes that are taking places within the border of one particular state. So basically lets say educated and liberal people of the West (like yourself probably) can go to bed at night without any guilt just because Karimov in May 2005 has slaughtered few hundred people including women and children BECAUSE International law prescribes you not to intervene. Is this right? Wrong perhaps? Who knows?
.
Today as of yesterday people are dying in another state that is ruled by brutal dictatorship that not only stayed in power for a long time BUT has managed to establish a sort of the dynasty. Yes, mate I am talking about Syria. But you should not feel any guilt for these dying people BECAUSE International law prescribes you that if you decide to intervene you will be WRONG. Will you be wrong? Who knows?

To see film of Gaddafi’s body, with his eyes staring wide open, being dragged through the streets and guns being fired in the air in celebration was terrible. Another extra judicial killing sanctioned by the likes of Clinton and Cameron. We have reached yet another nadir.

In theory it is easier than you think. Democracy should not only be promoted but also defended in International law and by International institutions. Every government of every state in the world should be elected by popular vote WITHOUT any exceptions. Such exceptions like culture, religion, ethnic and territorial differences are all pure and smelly bull shit (pardon my English). Let nations decide who they want to rule them. It is as simple as it sound (but only in theory).
.
In practice there are so many states and amongst them there are regional powers, superpowers etc. Each with its own narrow minded interests. Some run by governments elected by popular vote but which are under influence of some (sometimes very nasty) corporations and so called (sometimes also very nasty) interests groups. Others are run by dictatorships where governments do not care of interest of their nations but only of their own (sometimes imaginary) interests.
.
So in practise it is very hard to insure that everyONE of us WITHOUT exception of our nationality and luckiness of birth have the same rights and the most importantly FREE from tyranny. That is why I am personally very satisfied when another dictatorship falls although it might be for a short time but when another nation is FREE of tyranny (although I totally understand that my opinion is WRONG according to the current International law).

Add the the creep and US stooge Ban Ki-Moon to my list above.

Done – I hope, even if my message to my own MP is too late, that the government has more sense than to do this.

Craig’s role in exposing such things is valuable and needed (a necessary part of the Opposition in the wider sense in a democracy), but the Conservatives look to be in power for a few years. Therefore, apart from working through what influence the Lib Dems have, it seems to me that it will also be necessary to persuade the Tories in terms of enlightened national self-interest, to get real progress on such matters.

Mr Hague replied:

Hi Louise

J

emailed my MP. We’ll see what good it does.

Mary
Ban Ki-Moon
The UN needs to avoid appointing not only citizens of the permanent five as Sec Gen, but also citizens of countries under their sway. Perhaps a good way of assessing this is whether they have military bases of P5 members on their territory. Ban is a real shocker, I agree, he’s said things which are completely inappropriate for a UN Sec Gen to say.

Here is my letter to:

Dear Theresa May and William Hague,

It has come to my notice that Mikel and Nina Malyshev have been taken to Yarlswood Detention Centre and will be deported to probable imprisonment and torture in Uzbekistan on Friday 21 October. You could hardly have picked a more despotic country than Karimov’s Uzbekistan. This act wreaks of bargaining human lives for a free passage to Afghanistan as a supply-route for our troops. Of course nobody wants to see our troops without supplies, but I fear this is a big mistake. Please use your powers to prevent this deportation against the wishes of these good law-abiding citizens.

Kind regards,

John Goss
.
And the reply I just received.
.
Dear John Goss,

Thank you for your letter about the immigration matters of Mikel & Nina Malyshev .

We appreciate you taking the time to write and would like to assure you that the views you expressed have been noted.

Yours Sincerely

Public Correspondence Team

UKBA
.
I meant ‘reeks’ of course, but it’s not the worst mistake I’ve made.

I notice that you also received the same form letter as I did, John.

Angrysoba, that doesn’t surprise me. When I wrote about my concerns about the first Gulf war in Iraq I got a large heavy envelope which thudded on the porch like a letter-bomb. It contained a hardly readable (it had been photocopied that many times) copy of Douglas Hurd’s Mansion House Speech, nothing concerned with the specific concerns I raised.

In other words, John and angrysoba, the bureaucracy is saying to us all: ‘Dear Peasants, Know Thy Place!’

Suhayl, if the Malyshev’s are deported, and anything happens to them, the answer from Hague and May’s support team, shows that they are very well aware of the possible fate of the couple, and have proceeded despite that. UKBA stands for UK Border Agency. I wish I could find out who the Malyshev’s legal representative is, or even if they have one.

I’ve just done another search regarding the Malyshevs. Quite a few blogs are running the story (all quoting directly from Craig’s blog). Has there been any response from the Court of Human Rights yet? It’s 1700 hours now and the plane is due to go in half an hour.

ARE THERE any news on Malyshevs? Does anyone know?
.
John, if Malyshevs are deported nor Hague or May or Cameron will be able to do anything to secure their well being. Can they claim at least to see Russian Ambassador in the UK. I know that they are not Russian citizens but they are Russian by ethnicity (at least it sound like this) and considering that relations between Putin and Karimov are getting worse there is a chance (although slight chance) that Russia might accept them. I know that it sounds hideous but at least they will be better off in Russia than in Uzbekistan where I feel that after these publications they are awaited by SNB.

As Malyshev name can suggest, they are o Russian origin. Under Russian legislation all ethnic Russians and all former Soviet citizen are eligible to Russian citizenship.
What sense does deporting Russians to Uzbekistan make?
British authorities are given a hint here.

Nina & Mikel were deported from the UK on Friday, there was brief contact from Moscow Airport then one phone call from Uzbekistan, no more contact for over 24 hours. Can anyone help making contact?
They were legally represented, the solicitor said that it shouldn’t have gone this far, they were in the UK for seven years.

swansea ukba refused their appeal also their representitive applied for last minute emergency injunction to a high court judge

plane was delayed until they had reply but was refused you can follow the story in south wales evening post

Gill

no contact with nina&mickel they were picked up by people unknown PLEASE help trace them AS THE UK said they would be safe

Whatever UK said is now irrelevant as Malyshevs are now under ‘rightful protection’ of the Uzbek authorities as all other Uzbek citizens who live in Uzbekistan. UK is not going to intervene as by sending them back they (UK authorities) demonstrated that they do not care of Human Rights of this particular couple.

When have Malyshevs called from Tashkent? Have they managed to pass border control in Tashkent safely or have they called before that? Do they have any family members there in Uzbekistan?

Have they tried Russian Embassy in London? As being Russian by ethnicity they at least can try to ask Russian Embassy in Tashkent for some assistance. Although not Russian citizens but Russia takes it painfully when Russians of Uzbekistan are being prosecuted and particularly those days when Karimov turning his back to Russia.

Nina phoned from Tashkent relieved that the British Consulate had met them at the airport & guided them through a side entrance, we haven’t heard from them since. We have checked with British Embassy in Uzbekistan & they told us that they did not meet Nina & Mikel. We have not heard from them since.

People do disappear in Uzbekistan but this does not seem to me that Malyshevs have been kidnapped. Although, Malyshevs’ case was made public and this I am sure angered Uzbek authorities but kidnapping Malyshevs like this would be an act of extreme stupidity even for such ruthless government like in Uzbekistan. Is there any way to press for British Embassy to find out what happen to Malyshevs? UKBA in collaboration with British Justice system were so sure that sending them back to Uzbekistan will not breach Human Rights so can now British Embassy take their assess from chairs and do something to prove their government right?
