Her sister has been in labour for 24 hours and is unable to safely give birth. Three traditional midwives in attendance were unable to assist. The only hope is through a surgical delivery. The ambulance visits every three weeks, and happened to be in a nearby hamlet. Without it, her sister and the baby will die. Most Timorese women give birth at home, due to the cost of transport to distant hospitals. Almost ten percent of all children die at birth, as do many mothers.

During the three months Robin photographed asylum seekers in Glasgow, the media and activist organisations picked up on only three families who were taken away in ‘dawn raids’. The reality is that far more families and individuals get taken away. 3460 failed asylum seekers were removed from the UK during the third quarter of 2005*. As the majority of these people do not have a support network nobody lobbies for their cause, or even registers that they have been taken away.

The police had asked Robin not to photograph proceedings close up because his actions would ‘traumatise the children involved’. He pointed out the panicked cries of ‘Immigration!
