Don't let them Divide the Danso Family


Dianess Danso still faces separation from her husband Lawrence and their daughter Precious.
Although Lawrence has indefinite leave to remain in the UK and has lived here for 13 years the Home Office refused his wife permission to stay. Dianessā immigration status was complicated by missed deadlines for visa extention and lack of knowledge of immigration rules and in the absence of proper legal advice she ended up with a deportation order.
Her asylum application was also refused and she now faces probable enforced removal.
Dianessā step-father was General Secretary of the opposition New Patriotic Party in the Accra Region of Ghana at the time when Jerry Rawlings was head of the military Government. In Ghana Dianess had a clothes stall which she left for her sister to look after. The stall was raided and guns and ammunition were found in it and some letters she had written attacking Rawlings. Jerry Rawling's party is still in power, after having been democratically elected. Dianess's mother is separated from her step father and living somewhere in Togo. She thus fears both having nowhere to live if returned to Ghana and arrest by the Government.
The family are under great stress facing the threat of deportation dividing the family.
