ࡱ> 130 bjbj 4oo **eeeey hhh`hhhhlp h ez  0 hhhdee* :   Conrad Clifford, CEO Virgin Nigeria North Terminal London Gatwick Airport, West Sussex, RH6 0NP, Fax: 01293 448035 Email: customer.relations@virginnigeria.com Dear Conrad Clifford, I understand that Kemi Ayinde, her partner Taiwo Salami and their 18 month year old daughter Yasim Salami are due to be removed from the UK against their will on Tuesday 8th July on Virgin Nigeria flight VK292, 10:15am from Gatwick. "Virgin Nigeria's role in Kemi and family's up coming deportation directly contradicts their work with 'Stop the Traffik'. 'Stop the Traffik' a global coalition movement against the trafficking of people. The Coalition consists of over 1000 organisations including Virgin Unite (*Member of the Steering Group of 'Stop the Traffik) the independent charitable arm of the Virgin Group that owns Virgin Nigeria. It is a serious conflict of interest for the Virgin Group to support a charity that is there to defend and support victims of trafficking, while at the same time potentially playing such a key role in sending a direct victim of trafficking back to a country where she faces the very real prospect of retribution from those that trafficked her in the first place and the real possibility of being trafficked again." I am writing to ask you to please intervene to stop this from happening. Kemi is 5 months pregnant and is suffering from complications where she is having trouble walking without support and she is unable to stand up straight. Her 18-month-old daughter Yasim is also suffering from a painful skin complaint. On Tuesday 1st July, British Airways refused to allow the family to fly due to Kemis health condition, which included high blood pressure. There has been great support for the family demonstrated both at local level, from their community in Cardiff, and nationwide with much media interest. Supporters who believe the family should not be deported include the Leader and Deputy Leader of Cardiff County Council and Welsh Government Minister Leanne Wood. Kemi is 24 and was trafficked from Nigeria in 2001 in order to be forced to work as a prostitute in London. She managed to escape the house where she was forced to work, became street homeless in London. She is unable to return home as she was told that she would be killed if she tried to run away from the people that trafficked her from Nigeria. She also has no family to support there as her family abandoned her at a young age. USA Country Report on Human Rights Practices: Nigeria 2007 [women continue to suffer worst] Domestic violence and discrimination against women; female genital mutilation (FGM); child abuse and child sexual exploitation; societal violence; ethnic, regional, and religious discrimination; and trafficking in persons for the purpose of prostitution and forced labor. Please do not allow this family to be forcibly removed, as Kemi and her familys health would be at serious risk. I am aware that airlines are able to exercise discretion about carrying unwilling deportees and are not obliged to do so. I therefore implore you to reconsider Virgin Nigerias position on this.
