Enforced returns of failed asylum seekers to Zimbabwe to resume

Failed asylum seekers in the UK can now be returned to Zimbabwe, the government told parliament. According to a Home Office press release dated Tuesday 14th October 2010. 

Enforced returns to the country were suspended in September 2006 because the unstable political situation in the country meant that the safety of individuals could not be guaranteed. 

Since the formation of the Inclusive Government in 2009, the countryis now considered stable enough to receive returnees. This means that all Zimbabweans living in the UK illegally now face enforced removal.
