Demo at Cardiff UKBA against Tete's deportation

Cardiff Against Deportations | 23.09.2010 23:06 | Migration

There will be a demonstration at the UK Border Agency in Cardiff Friday 24th Sept, 11am- 1pm against the deportation of Tete Wanda to DR Congo



Tete Wanda, who fled from the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2005 because of her political activities, was arrested when signing in at the UKBA reporting centre in Cardiff on Tuesday the 21 September. She has been detained at the Cardiff Bay Police Station and then moved to Yarls Wood Removal Centre on the 22nd. The UKBA has scheduled her flight to be on Tuesday the 28 September 2010 at 20.00 hrs. Join her campaign in demonstrating on 24 September against her removal and against all removals to the DRC!

Tete came into the UK on the 28th January 2005 after she has been a member of UDPS (Union for Democracy for Social Progress), a main political party in the DR Congo. Because of this she became a target to the Kabila's government through her political activities and was forced to leave the country on the 27th January 2005 and flee to the UK. Her asylum claim was rejected and became a failed asylum seeker on section 4 support until the day of her arrest. Even though she was one of the legacy cases, she has been arrested/detained for removal/deportation by the UKBA Enforcement.

Since seeking sanctuary in Wales, Tete has taken all possible steps to become proficient in English and has further, with DPIA and a local church's support, completed a Hospitality and Catering course from Coleg Glan Hafren during 2009-10. She has volunteered with Barnardo, Riverside Community Allotments, WRC and the Black Voluntary Sector Network Wales (BVSNW).
BVSNW.

She has integrated extremely well in local Welsh community and was looking forward to receiving her refugee status to start a new professional life as a caterer. But the night before last events have changed it all. Her solicitors and other agencies (DPIA, WRC) are trying to get further information as to the reasons and also the removal date.

What can you do to help?
