Mahmoud Abu Rideh a stateless Palestinian who has been held under a control order since 2005. He has never been questioned, nor charged with any crime, in this country. The impact of his detention on his own health and his family has been immense, leading him to self harm on numerous occasions. Mahmoud's family - his only remaining solace - were forced to leave the UK on 25th May, despite being British nationals. Mahmoud is now asking to be allowed to leave the UK permanently. If the government does not intervene he says that he will take his own life.
