He's a child who needs protecting. The problem is that the Border Agency don't see a person, they see a statistic. Mashal is a symbol of the suffering of thousands of children who are victims of a needless war and it's this Country's duty to care for him. Anyone can see that Mashal is clearly under 18.

The treatment of underage asylum seekers needs to be sensible, rational and humane. This case clearly has not been given proper thought by UKBA.

The detention of innocent and vulnerable children is a fundamental breach of human rights, and a fundamental breach of morality. They are vulnerable children, not criminals. How can any civilised society justify such cruel mistreatment?

It's so straight forward, he needs a proper age assessment, to be re-united with his brother and provided with the necessary services.

It appears all agencies believe Mashal Jabari is just 14 years of age. Mashal has suffered so much for someone so young and compassion needs to be shown in this case. With his brother being in the UK the future for Mashal should be in the UK and it is incumbent on the UKBA, Cardiff Council and ulltimately the UK government to release this young man and allow him to stay with his brother.
