MOHINDER SINGH came to Britain in the early seventies. He is married with two children, Kuljit Kaur aged 3 years nd Gurjit Singh aged 2 years, both of whom were born here. Mohinder has worked here for many years and payed taxes to the state.

In early November 1981, when Mohinder was travelling from London, he was stopped on the motorway by the police. He then continued his journey, but half an hour later was stopped again and arrested as an alleged 'illegal immigrant' Mohinder Singh has now been told by the Home Office that he can no longer live in this country. The Home Office is now trying to deport Mohinder back to India - away from his wife and children.

This attack on Mohinder is part and parcel of a vicious and concerted racist campaign against black people by the Home Office. Hundreds of black families up and down the country have been divided and an estimated 250 people are deported every month.

There will be a demonstration on Saturday 17 April, assembling at 1pm Summerfield Park, Birmingham, in support of Mohinder Singh's right to remain here.
