Why this petition matters

Started by Georgia Hamilton

For the attention of Suella Braverman - Home Secretary. 

Right now, the Home Office is threatening to endanger the life of a Ann - a 16-year old Sudanese refugee, and her family. 

Our friend and her family came to the UK in 2019 seeking asylum and safety after the father and eldest sister were arrested for their involvement in peaceful anti-Government protests. The family has not been able to make contact with their father due to assumed imprisonment or death. 

For three years, our friend and her family have been living in the UK and have become valued members of our community, especially at our school. But now they face the threat of being deported, through no fault of their own.

Ann has been studying at Cardinal Newman Catholic School, in Brighton becoming an integral part of their community. She is currently studying for her GCSEs, not missing a day of school despite being forcibly relocated to London. 

We do not want to put Ann in danger. 

We do not want to lose a valued member of the community.

We refuse to accept that our friend may be at risk. 


This family has already faced prosecution from the Sudanese government and it is extremely unlikely, if they were to return, that the same government would treat them fairly. 


We want to keep them safe here. Brighton has become their home!

We don’t have a lot of time to act; please help!
