Ndagire Oliva MUBIRA and Andrew WAMALA:
Home Office reference: M1210799
Ndagire Oliva Mubira and her son Andrew are due to board flight BA0063 from Heathrow to Entebbe at 21.15 this evening.
Mrs Mubira sought asylum in the UK following the disappearance and presumed death of her husband in 2003. She herself has experienced gang rape and severe torture at the hands of the Ugandan authorities. She has been treated for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder since her arrival in the UK and every mental health professional with whom she has come into conduct is in no doubt that her account of her experiences is 100% genuine. Mrs Mubira is thought to be at severe risk of suicide and she is convinced that she will be re-arrested on arrival on Ugandan soil.
Ndagire and Andrew were taken form their home in Coventry last night against their will and are now en route to Heathrow. They have no legal representation and are in no position to argue to for justice in their present situation. The Uganda/USA Country Reports on Human Rights Practices (2006) noted that the Ugandan government's human rights record remains poor, making specific reference to the violence and discrimination experienced by women, female genital mutilation (FGM); violence and abuse of children, particularly sexual abuse; forced labour, including by children; and child labour.
There are no family members in Uganda able to take responsibility for Andrew in his mother’s absence. The objective evidence makes it plain that the prognosis for both of them, if returned, is grim and that the level of risk to both of them is high.
Please contact British Airways (fax 020 8759 4314) to express your disgust with their collusion in this obscene deportation.
Please also contact the Immigration Minister, Liam Byrne, (fax 020 7035 4745) to demand that this travesty of justice is stopped.
No one is illegal!
