Jane and Jason Nalugya granted leave to remain

They were almost deported but after last minute intervention by the A&E doctor the removal was suspended.
The Home Office conceded defeat during adjournment of their judicial review. Had they not done so Jason would have been separated from his father and Jane and he would have been put at grave risk in Uganda.
Jane and Jason (Background issue 14) would like to thank the African Caribbean Refugee Support Project and all their friends from Newham Churches Immigration Support Group.

Fortress Europe kills Again

Yaquine Koita (14) and Fode Tourkana (15), from Guinea, died on 2nd August trying to enter Fortress Europe. The two young boys carried a letter with a plea for help for their deprived and war-ravaged continent. Yaquine and Fode didn't get to deliver their letter in person. Their bodies were found in the landing gear of the Belgian Sabena Airbus A330-300 where they had stowed away when it landed in Brussels from Mali. Both had frozen to death.
The letter was found in their clothing.
Yaquine and Fode wrote: "Excellencies, sirs, members and officials of Europe. We have the honourable pleasure and great confidence to write you this letter to tell you of the objective of our voyage and of our suffering, we, the children of Africa. We appeal to your kindness and solidarity to come to the rescue of Africa. Help us, we are suffering enormously, help us. We have war, disease, not enough to eat. There are schools, but a great lack of education, of teaching."
These sad and totally unnecessary deaths are yet another consequence of the "Fortress Europe" policies pursued by European governments. They also show the lack of interest displayed by the mainstream media in reporting the deaths of African children seeking asylum in the EU
