Fourth attempt to remove Sandrine Mbuyi Ntambwe

John O | 01.06.2009 06:39 | Birmingham | World

Sandrine Mbuyi Ntambwe a national of DR Congo and resident of Birmingham, currently detained in Yarl's Wood IRC; is due to be forcibly removed from UK on Wednesday 3rd June 2009 at 20.00 hrs on Kenyan Airways Flights KQ101 to Nairobi then KQ550 to Kinshasa.

3 previous attempts to remove Sandrine were stayed by last minute legal action, further legal representation since then has failed.

Sandrine could face persecution there, both because of her political activities as a high profile and active member of the opposition party UREC an APARECO, and as a person of Tutsi ethnicity.
