A campaign from No Borders Leeds
We are calling for our friend Florence (aged 62, from Zimbabwe), a Leeds resident since 2002, to be immediately released from Yarl’s Wood detention centre and to cancel her forced flight to Zimbabwe on Thursday.
Florence has been in the UK since 2002 where she has been actively involved as a volunteer and in her church. She is well known and loved by many people here in Leeds. She has a number of medical problems and is due for surgery in the next few months. Instead the Home Office plan to remove her to Zimbabwe where Mugabe’s brutal regime makes it extremely unsafe tor her to return.
Read more about the human rights situation in Zimbabwe on the NCADC country of origin blog here.
