Good News ! Removal of the Saddiq family from Leeds Cancelled
"A judicial review was lodged, and we heard that the ltest removal has been cancelled. Saleem and Saima's solicitor will be applying for bail, and hopefully the family will be released and will return to Leeds in the very near future. Saleem and Saima are of course very relieved and would like to thank everyone who helped them and sent letters of support. Of course this doesn't mean the campaign to overturn the appeal judge's decision is over. If the judicial review goes against them they will have to go through the same ordeal again. Please continue to support them." Check here for latest news:  http://www.clanebor.co.uk/blog

Do you want advice about setting up an anti-deportation campaign ?
Come and meet NCADC at one of the many NCADC workshops around the North West, aimed at people facing deportation who are interested in setting up a public anti-deportation campaign, and those who are interested in supporting campaigns. There will be a chance to discuss benefits of starting a campaign, what it takes to set up and run a campaign, and any concerns you have about putting yourself and your campaign group into the public eye. It will be an informal environment and you will be able to chat with NCADC, some people who have run their own anti-deportation campaigns, and others who are interested in setting up campaigns._
