Protest over deportation
SUPPORTERS of a Sheffield woman facing deportation after being refused asylum took their campaign to the Labour Party Conference in Manchester over the weekend.
They lobbied MPs and delegates urging them to put pressure on Immigration Minister Liam Byrne to overturn the decision to remove 25-year-old Annociate Nimpagaritse from the country.
Ms Nimpagaritse, a Sheffield College student from Burngreave, was taken to a deportation centre in Scotland on September 12 and has been told she is to be flown back home to Burundi - in Africa on Thursday.
But she, her friends and supporters fear she will be killed, with her parents already having been murdered.
