Mamadou has been released yesterday (Wed. 29th) from Alphen!

Mamadou was 16 when he came from Chad to Holland to ask for asylum. The army in Chad had burnt down his house and killed his parents. The IND put him in detention at Schiphol Oost (art.6).  He was in islotaion for a month after he complained about the stench in his cell. M2M met him before in October 2008 during the commemoration of the Schiphol Fire. Now he calls us from Alphen aan den Rijn.

The IND tried to deport him last month to Chad but there the authorities refused him entry, declaring they needed more proof of his Chadean citizenship.  That’s how he returned to Holland.

“Do I have a life sentence here?“

Mamadou speaks french.
