Yes, people fly to Algeria every day - none of them, however, would be people who previously left the country for fear of persecution. Whether that is the case with the individuals in question we don't know. They may say they have and as a democratic society the UK has a duty to protect and defend them from persecution until it can be proven otherwise.

I would expect, and hope, (as indeed I assume you would) that the same protection would be afforded to you if you were ever interned in a foreign country with no charges or evidence presented against you other than heresay, paranoia and rumour.

I would hope that they would let me go home. But do we know WHY these people are allegedly being persecuted? Oh no, let's just believe them...
