The
Taliban, I had a problem with them - my brother fight with them.
My brother left Afghanistan. I come from Kabul to see my family
and people from the Taliban came to take me to the jail for 20 or
25 days.
I was
in a dark and cold room. They hit me with their guns and truncheons.
They let me go telling me I had to find my brother and bring him
to them.
 I
spent six months hiding in a dark room to hide from the Taliban |
| Abdul,
asylum seeker |
The
Taliban came to check my house because they thought I was involved
with my brother. I spent six months hiding in a dark room to hide
from the Taliban.
I saw
my picture the Taliban had put up in town asking people to look
for me and it said they would kill me because I fight with the government
and the Taliban, but I did not do this.
My
father said I should leave Afghanistan. I left in the night and
I came to Pakistan and then to England. I stayed at Dover for 40
days and then I was sent to Birmingham. I didn't come for work,
for college or for holiday. I left even my family in Afgfhanistan.
For
3 years I havent been able to work, have a business, see my family.
It聮s very difficult for one person. In Afghanistan I have everything
- except they want to take my life. I haven't got passport, national
insurance. Im not old and I'm not disabled - I聮m young, I want
to work and pay my tax.
I live
in Birmingham with people from Iraq. Things in the house don聮t
work. Seven or eight people live in the house they don't speak my
language and they don't understand english. I feel very lonely.
| Family
and home in Afghanistan |
My
father is a rich man, we have about 4 houses in Afghanistan. I had
a food shop in Afghanistan. I am married and have a wife that I
miss. I was studying in college - it was my last year before going
to university.
I have
lived alone for 3 years - I stay at home. It's very bad life for
me. I thought my life would be better but I feel I am in the jail.
My brother is in London and I can't even see him because I dont
have money to get there.
If
I see my solicitor she always tells me I look sad. I cant sleep
at night because I am thinking about the problems in my life. I
live with sleeping tablets.
I feel
if I go back they will kill me. My family tell me this and beg me
not to come back - but they will meet me in Pakistan.
I want
to stay in Britain and I dont want to go back because they will
kill me. They say the Taliban is not in Afghanistan anymore, but
they were 90% of the people. They have not gone they are still inside
Afghanistan.
If
I cannot stay in Britain then I ask the 91热爆 Office to send me to
another country - any country - but not Afghanistan. I want to be
able to work. I want my wife - I miss her. It has been more than
3 years, it's too long. I love her and I don't want to marry again.
| I
feel very ashamed. I have got a very very bad life nobody can
understand my life. I think if I take some sleeping tablets
then it is better than everday facing this life. |
| Abdul,
asylum seeker |
I'm
ashamed about myself about being called an asylum seeker. I hate
the voucher book. I dont have anything just paper vouchers.
I feel
very ashamed. I have got a very very bad life nobody can understand
my life. I think if I take some sleeping tablets then it is better
than everday facing this life.
Afghanistan
is my country and I miss my country and my people but it is not
safe for me and I can never go back. Why would I leave my family,
my wife, my education, my life in Afghanistan if there wasn't a
problem?
I came
here with thousands of dollars - not as a poor man and now I have
nothing and no one. I would one time like to see my brother. I dont
want anything from Britain I just want to work to support myself
and have one visit with my wife - that is all I want.
