[Imc-uk-features] [imc-liverpool] The Cardiothoracic Centre - request to remove information from article

Thu Mar 29 12:46:00 PDT 2007

Dear Natasha,

The text of this article was copied wholesale from an email/flyer that was 
circulated last night (Wednesday), passed on through many email lists, to 
raise urgent action to try and stop the deportation of the Chowdury's 
family.  Many people will have printed it out and distributed it 
independently.

I will edit out the mention of Mr Chowdhury's surgery and of the 
Cardiothoracic Centre from the article.  If you check it again in about an 
hour then you should see the changes.

best wishes

Maria

Liverpool Indymedia
