After getting nowhere with the system this morning, and the deportation less than 36 hours away, we called his constituency number and talked to a Tracy Windle, who was less than pleased to be bothered with such trifling details as the life or death of Christian converts. She
might have slithered away had not Dave Taylor read her the riot act over the phone, and before
she could go off to work on the duck house, he got her email and she said she would forward Mr. Johnson details of the case.
So who knows. We shall see. After the young Iranian, whose case is so marred by presumtuous officials trying to say he is not really a Christian and idiotic translators making a pig's ear of it all, there are dozens more. It is too late to stop the deportation of Adam Osman Mohammed and others who were killed and tortured upon repatriation, but we can stop such cases from happening again.

Update on imminent deportation set for Tuesday, 9 June
The deportation of a young Iranian convert is still set to go ahead. Much debate on http://www.hurryupharry.org/ is going on, and some of the commenters on Sunday morning's post by Melvyn Kohn are already talking to their MPs. And some, such as person going by the name of Rockall666, just wants to see him deported. One comment was rather prescient:
If Alan Johnson does not intervene promptly, he will have fallen at the first hurdle, proving that he is just as useless and illiberal as his various New Labour predecessors.
Which I hope is not the case. The HO number is 020 7035 4848, from which one may or may not be able to get to someone who will do their job and stop this deportation.
The case number again is E1084499. He is currently held at Harmondsworth and his flight is BD 931 at 1900 hours.
