Bought my last Big Issue

20-10-2007 22:58

I just bought my last Big Issue, from an elderly woman from the south east of europe whose only words of english seemed to be 'Big Issue' and 'thank you'. I've been buying it since it has been launched. For the last year I've not bought a copy from anyone except people from the south east of europe, simply because those are the only vendors I've come across. That did make me worry about what happened to the people I used to buy it from, but the vendors nationality isn't what has changed my mind.

Fatma Navruz's life is in danger as Britain attempts deportation to Turkey! Octo

FATMA NAVRUZ MUST STAY!
19 October 2007


Message from the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Refugee Forum (NNRF)

Contact: Konnie Lloyd for more info:  konnie2006@talktalk.net>





'Ms Navruz is a 54-year-old woman who is suffering from considerable problems of ill-health. She has no less than three different appointments scheduled for this week at the Queens Medical Centre in Nottingham – one for an endoscopy, another in the department of Thoracic medicine, and another with her psychiatrist. She has further appointments pending because she is suffering severe pain requiring treatment for pain relief and physiotherapy. Ms Navruz's consultant states that she is suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, anxiety and depression, which they say is in keeping with her accounts of torture, rape and imprisonment in her country. She is also suffering from psychosis. The fact that Ms Navruz has not been able to prove torture and rape at the hands of the Turkish authorities for her political actions in support of working people in Turkey and the Kurds in particular is not a surprise to anyone who has worked with survivors of both torture and rape – two of the most heinous and hidden acts of terror to the individual.
