“EVRERYONE is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, color, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion or national or social origin or property, birth or other status. Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any limitation of sovereignty”, adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations on December 10, 1948 and proclaimed Universal Declaration of Human Right, UDHR Article 1.
Going by this mandate and convention of UDHR Article 1 which is superior and binding on all 51 members of Commonwealth nations in which United Kingdom, is a signatory, the alleged dehumanization, torture, torment, suffering and abuse inflicted on Commonwealth citizens in the Queen’s enclave on the basis of their color, race, international status, birth and social origin is a clear breach and violation of this law.
Latest documents we received show how Oakington Immigration Detention Center in UK has allegedly become the most dreaded, dangerous and notorious torture chamber where citizens of Commonwealth nations either resident in UK, on visitation or had their appeals pending before the British Magistrate Courts, are being clamped, humiliated, punished, detained and abused. Major detention centers in UK include: Dover Removal Center, Colnbrook Removal Center, Oakington Removal Center, Harmondsworth Removal Center, Dungavel Removal Center, Campsfield Removal Center, Lindholam Removal Center, Yarl’s Wood Removal Center, Haslar Removal Center; Tinslay House Removal Center, and Her Majesty Prisons (all prisons in UK). Sadly, Oakington is said to be the worst, most-worrisome detention center where Africans, Jamaicans, Asians and other citizens of Commonwealth are allegedly being treated as ‘inferior, slaves and abused’ at will.
According to what we heard, Victor Ewroh, a Nigerian, whose date of birth is 20-08-1978 and who had traveled to UK in search of greener pastures in the earlier days of January 2008, was accosted, picked up by fierce-looking UK Border Agency on claims that he had overstayed his visa (whereas his visa status proves contrary). He was allegedly slapped severally, handcuffed and driven straight into Oakington- a detention center, where he was put amidst hardened criminals and terrorists.
Ewroh stated: ‘I was physically tortured for 150 days, dehumanized, transferred to Scotland Dungavel Center. Before being transferred, I was denied food for those number of days, stripped naked, humiliated for no-just cause, simply because I am a Nigerian looking good on British soil. This incident happened when I came out of a movie theater. This has left a huge scar on my back and forever I would never ever forget how wicked and inhuman these UK Border Agency can be. Oakington case team set me up because of their plans to cover their Satanic agenda against Commonwealth citizens in UK. It was an act of injustice against Commonwealth citizens. I would never forget 02/07/2008 when all these
torment on me began in Oakington.”
‘I was excessively tortured into high blood pressure’, added Damilola Dada Daniel, 44 year old Nigerian. He stated that he arrived Britain mid-2000, had all his papers regularized and kept a quiet lifestyle. Due to his great accomplishment in his chosen career, his racist neighbors who were predominantly White-British had to call the UK Border Agency to report him on crimes he knew nothing about, strictly due to envy. His words: “The door of my house was busted. I was picked up in my house by six hefty armed UK Border Agency men without any warrant of arrest, handcuffed. I asked them to allow me to call my lawyer, all my pleas fell on their deaf ears. I was not allowed to pick any of my property, but was driven straight into Oakington where I was excessively tortured severally until I began to have high blood pressure. I was detained for 38days and tortured at will. When a doctor in Oakington checked my blood pressure on 27/07/2008, he said I had 153/100, that I was supposed to be dead, yet no remedy was given to my health.”
“I lost my right eye to excessive torture, swollen face, suffered excessive high temperature and migraine’, claimed Allis Marvellous Onyekachukwu, a 26 year old Nigerian Allis Marvellous Onyekachukwu who was detained for 240 days in Oakington. He had visited UK late 2006 with a valid multiple entry visa and had no issues. Not until two years after that he was arrested by angry-looking UK Border Agency who are fond of parading the Commonwealth citizens’ neighbourhood. When he asked them what was his crime, he was told he would know it when he arrived their base. They lied.
They never told him his crime, even after he was tortured, stripped naked, made to sleep on bare floor in Oakington. He stated: “I would not wish my enemies to be victims of UK Border Agency. They are haters, racists, who enjoys seeing Africans suffer for crimes they know nothing about. If you are prospering in UK and you live in the neighbourhood of White-British people, soon or later they will set you up and invite UK Border Agency to arrest you because they are eyeing your properties which they don’t have. I was tortured for 240 days for crimes I never committed. I shouted and begged, no help came. I lost my right eye to excessive torture in Oakington. A wrong dialysis was done on me by a doctor in Oakington on 17/07/2008, and I noticed that my infected eye was bringing out bad odour, swollen, which led to my migraine and high blood pressure.”
“I suffered excessive torture, physical abuse, spinal injury breakdown, head/shoulder injury, attacked with weapon, also claimed Penda Evaritus Youdjeu, a 36 year old Cameroonian Penda Evaritus; “Truth is, blacks, Africans and Commonwealth citizens are deeply hated by UK Border Agency.
I was a hair stylist who lived legally in UK from 1999 until 2008 when I was arrested in my shop and taken into detention in Oakington by UK Border Agency. It was worse off because I was never told my offense. I saw hell. I was tortured excessively, physically abused which led to my spinal injury, shoulder injury, being that I was attacked with a sharp weapon when transferred to Colnbrook Removal Center. The attack was carried out against me by their personnel and security guard for just being an African in UK. That resulted in excessive wound all over my body.
A doctor over there advised me to report the matter to the police, but I was confronted by their personnel that if I followed that path, I would be wasted here, so I kept quiet.”
