Series of ten photographs showing the release of Karamjit Singh Chahal from Bedford prison. The Sikh separatist was held in jail for six years pending deportation. Because his case involved "national security", the only opportunity he had to fight deportation in Britain was an appearance before the Government's security advisers, without legal representation, sight of the evidence or chance to cross-examine witnesses. The European Court of Human Rights eventually ordered his release. Two photographs show a group of young men on bikes with Amnesty International kit.
