The 'Central African Development Action' (CADA) in Birmingham and the 'Congo Support Project' invite you to:

A Public Meeting on DR Congo Deportations

on Saturday 24th March 2007, 4.30pm to 7.30pm
Against the Deportations of the Congolese People
Venue: Ladywood Art and Leisure Centre
316 Monument Road, Ladywood
Birmingham B16 8TR

Congolese communities all around the country are seizing the initiative to build against future 'Charter Flights' to the DR Congo. There have been successful meetings in Manchester and Coventry. There was a well-attended anti-deportation march through the city of Manchester yesterday. Now the campaign is going to Birmingham.

This campaign belongs to each and every Congolese person in Britain and in the Diaspora beyond. We need to keep up the great momentum that has been started in a spirit of unity and solidarity with one another. Every individual, family, community group and political party is vital to the campaign's success.

On 28th March 2007, a Country Guidance Tribunal will challenge the Home Office by demonstrating that those sent back to the DRC face imprisonment and ill-treatment and their human rights are violated.

All Congolese (refugees and asylum seekers) - come on 24 March to find out more about the tribunal and the campaign!

Speakers will include:
Michael Misindu, Central African Development Action (CADA)
Innocent Empi, Congo Support Project North West
Liz Atherton, Congo Support Project London

The event is supported by the National Coalition of Anti-Deportation Campaigns (NCADC), African Community Connection (COCOA) and Cité Celeste - French-Speaking Community
