Motion Text

That this House notes with concern the appalling treatment of Sakchai Makao, in his arrest and subsequent detention in Durham maximum security prison; further notes that the deportation order was issued two years after he had served eight months for fire raising; recognises the widespread public support in Shetland for Mr Makao and the valued position that he holds within the local community; and urges the Home Office to rescind the deportation order and release Mr Makao.
