Rose-Jane & Natale Must stay! 

John O | 28.08.2009 07:12 | Migration | Social Struggles | Workers' Movements | World

Rose-Jane Wanjohi a national of Kenya and her UK born daughter Natale, residents of Hyde Cheshire are currently detained in Yarl's Wood IRC and due to be forcibly removed from the UK on Sunday 30th August on Kenya Airways flight KQ101 from London Heathrow @ 20:00 to Nairobi.

Rose-Jane is a Christian who comes from the Mathare district of Nairobi, where she was a teacher. Her husband became involved with the Mungiki sect an outlawed sect in Nairobi in late 2005 and took the Mungiki oath. Her husband wanted her to join the sect, which would amongst other things result in her having to undergo female genital mutilation. She refused and fled to Britain.

If she is returned to Kenya M.s Wanjohi fears that her daughter and herself could be forced to go through female genital mutilation and persecution at the hands of the Mungiki. They also fear the real possibility of being arrested and ill-treated by the Kenyan authorities as deported asylum seekers..

There is evidence that the Mungiki organisation seeks to impose FGM and other forms of violence, on women and children other than those who have been initiated into their sect. In particular, such women and children include the wives, partners, children and other female family members of those men who have taken the Mungiki oath. Insufficient protection is available from the Kenyan authorities for such persons.
