John O | 14.10.2008 05:16 | Migration | Social Struggles | Workers' Movements | Birmingham

Jane Mary Mutetsi from Rwanda was 'captured' when reporting Monday morning in Nottingham and is currently detained in Yarl's Wood IRC,  due to be forcibly removed from the UK on Thursday 16th October @ 20.00 hrs on Kenya Airways flight KQ101 from London Heathrow to Nairobi and KQ410 to Entebbe.

Jane Mary (a national of Rwanda) fled for her life from Uganda to the UK, she arrived on 5th April 2002 and claimed asylum on 11 April. She had to leave behind her four daughters to be looked after by a friend.

Background: Jane Mary Mutetsi belongs to Nottingham
 http://www.ncadc.org.uk/archives/filed%20newszines/newszine89/JaneMary.html

Jane Mary has become an active and committed member of St. Stephen's, Church of England congregation in Nottingham, has completed a number of child care and child protection courses and, unable to work, volunteers on a regular basis at the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Refugee Forum undertaking whatever tasks are needed. She is also an active member of the Women's Group at the Forum helping to organise weekly activities and occasional outings like to the seaside in the summer and children's parties.

Jane Mary has a well-founded fear of being returned to Uganda as she has proof, held by her solicitor, that the Ugandan government is still actively looking for her, an arrest warrant for Jane Mary is extant.
