Hi Yidnek, Katie and readers of my open letters at     http://dadamac.posterous.com

Yidnek - This is great news, thanks for the update. When your life is more stable again I'd be interested to hear more about your current studies, given the conversations we had before you enrolled. 

Katie - Thanks for forwarding the email

MESSAGE BELOW FORWARDED ON BEHALF OF YIDNEK HAILE, CURRENT STUDENT OF MSc ICTs FOR DEVELOPMENT:
 
 
Dear all,

I am glad to inform you that I am released on bail on 6th of Feb, 2012 and back to the University. The case is still on progress. Without your endless effort and support, this wouldn't have been possible. My special thanks goes to my incredible "beyond tutor", Prof. Richard Heeks. Although it is difficult to list all who had helped, I also would like to give a bloody thanks to: UMSU and NUS,  my course mates and other friends,  The International Society, Student Service/International Advice Team, Refugee Action Manchester, Publicity and Press offices, Rogerson Galvin Solicitors, Pam McLean of Dadamac,  the Ethiopian Orthodox Church community, National Coalition of Anti-Deportation Campaigns, my frequent in detention visitors Liz and Pauline, GHT, Morton Hall IRC staffs and Health Care Centre, Methodist International House, all who campaigned from  the UK and abroad, and all other Manchester University community members.

Regards,

Yidnek Haile
