Stephanie, Desmond, Raphael and Ubaka back in Sheffield

You all are our new energy

"Words cannot express our gratitude to you all, We really appreciate the time and patience you all put as efforts to rescue us from Yarl's Wood detention, your being there for us is one thing, but being there at the right moment to help is one of the things we as a family appreciate, finding solicitors, signing petitions, and campaigning for us. We were released on bail and I was asked to report at the immigration centre every week.

"To all our lovely friends - you're amazing! The fact that you leave your family, friends, jobs and home to come to get us bailed, your energy, your enthusiasm, your flexibility, your commitment, your patience cannot be overemphasized.

"The emotional support you gave us through phone calls to us while in detention have clearly shown us that you all are our new energy to defeat this course. You all are an important part of our story and we so much appreciate your presence.

"It is our privilege to be able to share our joy as you all play and are still playing an important part in campaigning for us to remain in the UK. - thank you all so much for helping us, keep up the good work!"

Online petition for Anselme Noumbiwa
 http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/anselme/index.html

To: the Home Secretary
We, the undersigned want to draw your attention to the injustice and dangers of returning Anselme Noumbiwa (Home Office Ref. N1126839) to Cameroon.

Anselme fled Cameroon in 2006 because on the death of his father, the village Chief, he was expected to 'marry' his father's wives. He suffered brutal treatment at the hands of the village notables when he would not adhere to tribal traditions, preferring instead to identify himself with Christian ethics. His story was believed by the Home Office, but he was told that he could relocate within Cameroon and would be safe. This is not the case, as the influence of powerful members of his tribe reaches beyond the area where he lived. If he is sent back to Cameroon, he will be in mortal danger. We ask you to allow him to stay in the UK.

Fourth attempt to remove Anselme Noumbiwa! [Flight cancelled]

Pierce Glynn / Welfare Law for Migrants
 http://www.pierceglynn.co.uk/services_5.htm

"As you may know the Court of Appeal recently decided that refused asylum seekers should be charged for *NHS treatment, but that treatment should not necessarily be withheld if a patient cannot pay for it and cannot return home immediately. Many people are concerned that the effect of this will be that treatment is denied, because of misunderstandings as to when people can or cannot return home, or because people are deterred from seeking it.

We are still considering whether to appeal to the House of Lords, but in order to do so we need evidence to show that this isn't 'merely' a
debt issue, but a question of whether people get treatment or not, so we need to know what is happening on the ground following the
judgment. So - please can you e-mail me whenever you come across any reports of people being denied medical treatment, or failing to access treatment, as a result of the charging provisions. The e-mail can be as short or as long as you like, with as many details as possible, but the important thing is to let me know, otherwise a further appeal will not be possible. Please feel free to forward this message if appropriate."


If you have information relevant to the request above, please E-mail

*Failed asylum seekers not entitled to free NHS treatment

Refugee and health charities expressed dismay after the appeal court ruled yesterday that failed asylum seekers with chronic illnesses were not entitled to free health care on the NHS.

But the three appeal judges also ruled that hospitals have the discretion to provide free treatment to such individuals if they cannot afford to pay for it.
