The highest number for a single date is 78, from January to March 1997. However the graph shows that if this is expressed as a percentage of the total number of asylum seekers in detention and then compared to the proportion of Algerians in the total number of asylum seekers, we see that Algerians have been more likely to be detained than the average for all nationalities. The most recent available statistics on detention, show that this proportion is falling. These statistics do not include the high profile detentions of Algerians during 2002 (see key issues section) but suggest that, at least in the immediate aftermath of September 11 th 2001, Algerian asylum seekers did not suffer any measurable negative results in terms of increased detention. 63 Visit http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/rds/immigration1.html [accessed 4 May 2004]. 64 Visit http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/rds/immigration1.html [accessed 4 May 2004].
