Zarine Rentia

Zarine, returned voluntarily with her mother to India on Tuesday 26th February.

Due to serious complications arising from her very rare genetic condition, Fanconi Bickel Syndrome, Zarine had become critically in and her condition was deteriorating.

Tasnim Rentia, Zarine's mother made a decision to return to India so that Zarine could be with her father and extended family at this time.

"On the same day that she returned to India, the Immigration Tribunal informed her solicitor, that they had ordered a reconsideration of Zarine's case.

Mrs. Tasnim Rentia would like to extend heartfelt thanks to the many people and organizations that supported Zarine and herself over the years."

Constance & Andreas (Cardiff/Cameroonians)
My son Andreas's father is a German national, finally my son was given a German Passport by the German authority, now Andreas has been given a Residence Permit to live in the UK. The Home Office got all these documents (my ARC, Andreas birth certificate, passport and residence permit) since mid January.

I have managed to have the support of my MP Kevin Brennan, who wrote to the Home Secretary and the Immigration Minister, since mid January as well and asking for leave to remain on compassionate grounds.

Keep Constance and Andreas in Cardiff

Note: Now that Andreas has his nationality confirmed, he as a European citizen, will be able to exercise his freedom of movement and apply for a residency permit for his mother Constance, there are some conditions to meet but these are very easy.

Helen & Alistair Itanje

Hello, still thanking every body for the massive support I am getting and I would like to update you on what is going on with us.

I left Millbank Reception Centre on Wedneday and returned to Rotherham, because I could not bear the abusive attitude of the manager, and to show he is not a nice person, he started making stories Thursday morning that I stole a TV and that I left accompanied by two men.

I really wish every body could understand that Millbank is a torture chamber, the conditions there are more inhuman than that of a detention centre. I really feel somebody have to do something to stop them from treating asylum seekers in the way that they do, I really do wish they could be exposed.

I had a call from the immigration Thursday evening, telling me that I have to go back to Millbank, if not I will be arrested.

I would like to point out a few things that the manager said to me:

"I am part of the plan that you should be brought here.

"if you are serving God, your God should come and save you.

"I will call the Home Office and they will cancel your judicial review.

"you are a destitute and must go back to Cameroon.

"If you are not happy here, it just takes one phone call and you can go back to Yarl's Wood.

"Above all he accused me of stealing a TV.

Stay blessed,
Helen and Alistair

Saddiq Family Detained after Dawn Raid in Leeds

The Saddiq family are from Karachi in Pakistan. They fled to the UK in 2005 because Saleem suffered persecution due to active membership of a minority political party.

Saleem and Saima have a son Abdul, born here, now 2 years old. Their daughter Zulekha, 4, is happy, settled and attending Holy Rosary Nursery in Harehills.

Saleem, who has struggled with depression since his ordeal in Pakistan, is excelling on a BTEC National Award in Airport and Airline Operations and is due to graduate in 6 weeks. His tutors have commended his commitment and motivation. Saima has volunteered with SureStart, helping families new to Leeds to integrate, and studied English to a high level.

The Saddiq family, staff and students at Park Lane College, Park Lane College Students Union and Leeds No Borders have started a campaign, pressuring the Home Office to allow the family to stay in the UK.

What you can do to help, visit their Home Page for model letter and full story of the family.
