FREE FATOU - She belongs to that community that she lived in for 18 good years and built a family and developed new friends, while contributing positively
In the name of compassion, humanity and decency do not send this person away from their home, family and community to a place that would put her in danger just by being there.
Gambia is a tiny country. There is no safe place for her. The Home Office relies on "country information" when making decisions but their source shows geography rather than relevant social and political conditions. They should look at organisations such as Human Rights Watch.
I have had lived experience of being in immigration detention which lasted for a very long and anxious 18 months therefore, I can honestly say exactly how it feels. The uncertainties, the fear of not knowing what may happen from one day to the next is undescribable. I am presently living in the community but still I limbo because my situation is not resolved. I've got a front seat of what is being played out in the UK immigration system. This is the reason I chose anniminity. Thank you.
The authorities seem to enjoy decimating the weak and innocent.
Those individuals should not be forced to leave what they now call a safe home.
This lady deserves the right to remain in UK without fear, to live her life in a peaceful, respectful & dignified manner.
There are plenty of real bad apples & rotten eggs the home office can choose from for deportation purposes.
It is obvious that Ms Fatou is a gentle harmless humanbeing, who deserves to live freely in the UK, where calls home.
Her release must be granted in order that she can enjoy the meaning of freedom with her loved ones.
If freedom in the UK is constrained / controlled / abused / manipulated / denied / destroyed / banned / barred in the UK, then what is the hope for other innocent people outside prison?
Fatou has been here for 18 years and committed no crime - she has been a valuable part of the community and by all accounts has always been helpful and kind to her neighbours. Deporting her after she's built a life here is cruel and inhumane. She is not a criminal, she is a positive force in her community.
No one should be forced to leave the place they call home, especially when it puts their safety, wellbeing, and future at risk. She deserves the right to live without fear, to build her life in peace, and to be treated with dignity and compassion. Deporting her is not justice — it is a failure of humanity. We must do better.
