A WOMAN due to have been deported today after making a life for herself in Sheffield over the last three years has been given a last minute reprieve.
Annociate Nimpagaritse, aged 25, had lived in Sheffield for three years before she was taken to deportation centre in Scotland and told she had to return to her African homeland Burundi - where her parents were both shot dead.

But friends and supp
orters launched a campaign urging the Home Office to overturn the decision and the young woman has now been told her case is being reassessed.

She is now in a deportation near Heathrow Airport waiting to learn of her fate.

Annociate was a student at Sheffield College, a member of the choir at St Marie's Cathedral, did voluntary work and was planning to marry.

Campaign group spokesman Graham Wroe, a college lecturer, said: "We are pleased that the case is being reassessed but still have very grave concerns because Annociate is now in a deportation centre near Heathrow in solitary confinement - it is torture for her.

At least she's now in a deportation center.
That's the first step, now this government needs to prove to the British public that it can and will live up to its promise to deport these people..

The UK population is expected to rise from nearly 61-million now to 77-million within 50 years , making the uk one of the most over crowded countries in the world, how many houses will be needed to be built taking up our green fields ? how many more cars will be on the roads producing those nasty fumes ? how many more power stations will be needed both nuclear and coal ? this coupled with a poll that shows 81 per cent of Labour and 89 per cent of Conservative voters want a substantial reduction in immigration really show just why the Green is the colour of choice for Mr Wroe, unfortunately in this case Green is used in the sense of hypocritical, inexperienced and naive.

Bradway Lad,

Sheffield, UK 26/09/2008 14:52:35
I'd like to know what's happened to the two Iranians (in this country illegally)that were picked up by the Police strolling down the M6, with two euros between them & sent off with a Home Office notice that they should register themselves. Which they appear to have duly ignored. What on Earth is happening to this country?

I will tell you what on earth is happening to this country, Bradway Lad and others.
Very very sadly - despite all the massive amounts of free education in this country for the last hundred years or more.....too many, far too many english, british white people just could not be bothered to use it - to learn - to find out - to educate themselves and their families about the reality of life, history, political and social reality.
They didnt and dont give a fig about involvement in politics and voting....and, of course, in the late 1970s they allowed in the Thatcher Tory terrorists for a dozen years or more.....and THIS COUNTRY, Bradway Lad, is still suffering and will continue to go on suffering as a result of that negligence and white, English, british indifference.
The tories Major, Clarke and Blair who followed have ALL pandered and sucked to the powerful(queen, economists, landowners and military wealth) and never gave a stuff about the working class and class equality. They still don't.

So between and from all of that....political planning and white working class indifference.....you have what we all have now.......which is too many english born people NOW trying to blame someone else....for the responsibility that they didn't take.....and it is funny isn't it...because 10 years or so ago...they told us there would be a BSE epidemic and here it is.

What goes around....comes around.
CHANGE THE SYSTEM....it IS up to YOU.!!!
