Summary
The UK will deport failed Iraqi asylum seekers, because Foreign Office minister Alistair Burt said Iraq was now considered safe enough for people to return to. The UK started returning Iraqis to Baghdad last year. The truth is, despite security improvements in Iraq, explosions and shootings are still going on, so it isn’t safe at all. The European Court of Human Rights has objected to the policy about it, because the deportation would apply "Rule 39". This rule means: "that anyone from Iraq who takes their case to the European Court will automatically be allowed to remain in the UK, at least temporarily". Nevertheless the deportation of Iraqis by the policy will be continued.

Response
If Iraq is still not safe, I think it’s wrong to deport Iraqis from the UK. You have to give them a chance of happiness in life, they didn’t escaped to the UK without any good reason. If they will be send back to Iraq, chances are they will be killed or be wounded. Rule 39 is a rule about the human rights. All asylum-seekers have the right to appeal under Rule 39, so if they decline the deportation, they have to get permission to stay in the UK.
