Failed asylum seeker deported from UK after 100-day hunger strike (Overeenkomsten met NL zaken)
The Home Office has confirmed that a failed asylum seeker who was said to be near death after a hunger strike that has lasted nearly 100 days has been deported from Britain. Lawyers for Ifa Muaza, aged 45, from Nigeria say the Home Office has confirmed he was deported at 8am on Friday on a private jet. Muaza had been refusing food for more than three months in protest at his detention in Harmondsworth immigration removal centre, near Heathrow, and at the "unfair treatment" of his asylum claim. His removal went ahead despite attempts to obtain a last minute injunction and a 120-strong vigil outside the Home Office.
