Will You Sign A Petition To Help Prossie, A 20 Year Old Lesbian Asylum Seeker From Uganda, Stay In The Uk?

[sandyRoe]

In just two days, the UK is set to deport a 20-year-old lesbian asylum seeker back to her native Uganda, where she faces persecution, torture, and imprisonment. Tell the government to let her stay where she’ll be safe and her identity will be respected!

Prossie N has fought hard to escape a lifetime of abuse and persecution. An orphan from the age of 8 years old, the only family she had was an uncle who abused and raped her. At 15, she was outed as a lesbian and forced to live on the streets. It was only through a secret relationship with a well-connected married woman that she was finally able to escape to Britain in 2010.

Now, the Border Agency wants to send her back into danger. The department has already tried to force Prossie onto a flight with Ethiopian Airways, but she bravely protested at the gate, and the pilot refused to take her back. Her new deportation date is set for 12 December, back to a country with some of the harshest anti-gay laws in the world, where she has no family and no support network.

Sign the petition and demand that the Home Office grant Prossie N asylum instead of deporting her back into certain danger. Please share with your friends on Facebook and Twitter to spread the word!

Is this really the nearest safe country?

No chance.

I can see both sides of this one.

On the one hand, no-one wants to send an illegal immigrant home to their imprisonment or death, especially when we don't agree with the law they have broken in their own country.

But, on the other hand, we are no more the world's mother than we are the world's policeman so, on reflection, I won't be signing.

Has she been given a large house and free money yet?
