Recorded Telephone conversation
Moftah Abdulghani, 28y a Libyan Christian convert who fled Libya fearing persecution which could mean death penalty for apostasy according to Islamic Sharia , was severely assaulted by Muslim detainees at Harmondsworth, West Drayton Removal Centre, an assault which could have cost him his Life.
Moftah Abdulghani who is awaiting Judicial Review following the failure of his application for asylum in UK to the Home Office was assaulted by a Yamani and Somali detainees as he came out of the Harmondsworth Removal Centre make shift church. Abdulghani was hit with heavy sticks from behind causing head injury as well as injuries to his arms and shoulders face and hands.
As Abdulghani’s conversion became know in the detention centre; Abdulghani came under continuous barrages of abuses and threats on his life from hundreds of Muslims detainees whom he shares detention centre with.
This incident raises questions about the security and the degree protection offered to vulnerable groups of detainees. Christian converts who have to come to a close contact with potentially hostile groups such as Radical Muslims do not seem to have particularly adequate supervision. It later transpired that the detention center did not report the incident neither to the police nor the Home Office.
Abdulghani was advised by the administration that he has to be moved to another detention centre for his own protection, he was also advised not to venture outside his room as his life is in danger in spite of Abdulghani is not sentenced to be in solitary confinement.
