Osime has now been told that upon his release from Stocken Prison he will be taken straight to a detention facility for his pending deportation on October 7th.
He is extremely distressed and suicidal and very vulnerable, please join us again on September 25th 1-4pm outside the Home Office to protest this highly concerning development.
Details below:

We are holding a peaceful protest to appeal for the pending deportation to be cancelled.
Osime is currently in Stocken Prison for a crime he did not commit, he was convicted under the controversial Joint Enterprise discredited legal rule that has resulted in many unjust convictions, mainly of young black men.
Osime's health has suffered while in prison to the extent of developing a heart condition that has required urgent surgery. A loop recording device has been put into his heart and he is now on medication, tires easily, and collapses often due to stress.
For the past three weeks he has been coughing up blood, and is not receiving adequate medical attention for it.
Osime is having meltdowns and displaying serious self-injurious behaviour due to depression. Osime is also Learning Disabled, has PTSD and dyslexia.
He has suffered racial abuse whilst in prison and is unable to comprehend the distance of Jamaica from the UK. He has asked his mother, who lives in Dudley, Birmingham, which road he should walk down from Jamaica to come and see her.
Osime has no support or family network in Jamaica and came here aged four.
There is a petition with over 30,000 signatures appealing to the Home Office to allow Osime to stay in the UK with his family. He has been failed by the government and deserves to be given support upon his release.
To send him back to Jamaica could result in his death.
This will be a peaceful protest, we will be observing social distancing rules and advise those that are not exempt to wear masks. Hand gel is also advised.
Please join us and bring banners and placards, home made signs are just as good.
Osime desperately needs our support, this deportation MUST be halted.
