DCU Students’ Union urges Minister Helen McEntee to revoke the deportation order of Mehwish Saqib, having lived in Ireland for the past six years, a DCU Graduate of Early Childhood Education. After launching the campaign in 2019, Mehwish still faces deportation in 2022, and hence why we are re-launching this campaign.

Mehwish and her husband live in Ireland with their three children and she was accepted into DCU as part of the University of Sanctuary scholarship scheme. Like all DCU graduates, she should be afforded the right actively participate as a valued member of society, where she has lived, raised a family and received an education. 

Despite her challenging living circumstances in Direct Provision, she has overcome great odds to advance academically. She has contributed so much to this country and has aspirations of continuing to do so, having graduating from DCU with flying colours and dreaming of a career in Early Childhood Education. Should she be deported, she will be faced with death threats from the very people who drove her out of the country. She will not be safe. Please sign this petition to save Mehwish and her family.
