A message from Ahmed: "Dear friends, This petition is the exact proof that the faith in humanity can make a huge impact. Amazingly we have crossed 67000 signatures. The words fail me in articulating how grateful I am for your overwhelming support. It means a lot to me to know I’m not alone in this, I don’t know what would have happened without your support. I would like to extend your support to crowdfunding the legal fees estimated by the solicitor to be around 15K. All the donations will be sent directly from CrowdJustice to the Solicitor. So please donate at the link below: https://www.crowdjustice.com/case/phdforahmed Any donation and/or share is much appreciated Thank you very much Yours sincerely Ahmed Press coverage links: ITV (interview): https://www.itv.com/news/calendar/2018-01-22/sheffield-phd-student-speaks-of-time-in-morton-hall-detention-centre/ BBC (article): http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-42611915 The Tab (article): https://thetab.com/uk/sheffield/2018/01/11/i-wouldnt-wish-it-on-anybody-life-inside-britains-most-notorious-immigrant-detention-centre-28753 Metro: http://metro.co.uk/2018/01/24/will-die-go-back-phd-student-escaped-isis-iraq-fears-will-deported-7253787/
