HELP IN STOPING ILLEGAL DEPORTATION OF NELLY SAMU KUTAMA

A Mother of two’s last-ditch plea to Home Office against deportation

Zimbabwean Lady, Nelly Samu is due to be removed on Friday 11th September 2009, by flight KQ101 to Malawi at 20:00hrs

Nelly Samu and her Friends are being held at Yarl’s Wood detention centre

A Zimbabwean mother who has been refused asylum by Britain despite being a victim of Robert Mugabe yesterday revealed her terror at being sent back to the Malawi. History reveals that Malawi has never accommodated any Zimbabwean who seek refuge this was proven during the liberation struggle were Zimbabweans caught in Malawi were sent to Prison and handed to the Smith regime. The Lady has got two Children back in Zimbabwe who have been looking forward to join the mother if she had been granted stay in UK. Writing from her cell in Yarl’s Wood detention centre, Nelly Samu said she could not believe the UK Government was handing a “death sentence” to her and her friend Bridget Mhepo. The lady is booked on a flight from Heathrow to Malawi tomorrow, but the solicitors will lodge an application for judicial review hours earlier after their visit tomorrow, giving them a crucial delay in the proceedings. It is also a shame to note that some Zimbabwean Lawyer in Birmingham have refused to represent Nelly Samu after having failed to make payment for the pending case which has not been resolved. I would like the law society to act on such anomalies to end this kind of treatment to Asylum cases. I believe this is not just the case of Zimbabweans but all the people in detention have got to be respected and the right for life has been taken from these individuals faced with such treatment I just wonder what happened to the Gardener act which states that no one if removed forcible from the UK. The Home Office has refused to grant her asylum because she entered Britain on Malawian passports. However she had used this as a means of escape from Zimbabwe four years ago, meaning it is almost certain they will end up being sent to their home country. Nelly Samu, whose husband was killed in a hit and run London on A13 in 24 December 2001, News paper cutting for the story covering her husband’s tragic death in the London Recorder 02/01/02. She arrived in Britain in 2005, to try and chase after the compensation of the loss of her Husband Andrew Kutama In her note, yesterday, Nelly Samu, 41, said she would be sent to jail in Malawi for her fraudulent documentation, before being deported to Zimbabwe, where they face torture and death. “I can’t believe that the Government can’t see how much this is torture I have already suffering while I am here. As soon as I get to Zimbabwe, no matter where I am going to be, my life is in danger. “I call this a death sentence. I know people might ask why I am so afraid, but I know what I have gone through. I have been trying to be strong for my two daughters and with the help from my friends in Loughborough, but now I can smell torture and death. “All these years I have been here I had started to feel comfortable and have a sense of belonging… I had started to rebuild my live and hoping to be given permission to stay. Everybody knows what is going to happen when I am to be returned to Malawi. It is facing death. Only God knows what I am going through.” The Lady’s MP, Andy Reed, has raised his concern for Nelly Samu by writing a letter ref: SAMU01004 dated 2 September 2009, Re: Immigration status of Nelly Samu, 5a Great Central Road, Loughborough, Leicestershire, LE11 1RW I Write on behalf of my above named Constituent who is at present detained in your Detention Centre. I am most concerned that my constituent has not had an opportunity to have a fair assessment made of her immigration status. I am therefore requesting that my constituent is given an opportunity to have her immigration status looked into before any action is taken to remove her from the UK. My constituent requires legal assistance and this is being arranged for her. Would you kindly acknowledge safe receipt of this message. My fax number is 01509212159 Thank you very much for your assistance. Yours Faithfully ANDY REED MP Member of Parliament for Loughborough The Home Office insists it has followed proper procedures. Please read and share with FRIENDS AND FAMILY give your own opinion about this kind of behaviour for I am sick and tired of hearing such injustice humanitarian treatment to my fellow Zimbabweans and the other Nationalities. Send a copy to Home Office and share your concern. One would wish themselves dead if receiving such treatment and discrimination. She has got all to prove that she is Zimbabwean but the Home Office has turned a blind eye to such proof. A Zimbabweans Nelly Samu who has been refused Asylum by Britain despite being a victim of Robert Mugabe she has revealed her terror at being sent back to the country. The saddening story is that she suffers epilepsy while in detention and she has fallen victim to the culture of disbelief in the courts and have proven their being Zimbabweans by Zimbabwean National Registration Card, Kutama, Death Certificate of Andrew Kutama(late Husband run of by a car in London A13 in 24 December 2001) No compensation receive for the loss of a husband, Marriage Certificate, Original Zimbabwean Birth Certificate, UNHCR letter May 2004, and News paper cutting for the story covering her husband’s tragic death in the London Recorder 02/01/02. She has been held in detention as Jestina Mukoko was in the Hands of Zanu Pf Government which is preaching Unity Government, is the same thing which Jacqui Smith is preaching of Democracy & Human rights abuse by Mugabe yet she is holding the likes of Nelly Samu, Bridget Mhepo and many other Southern African Nationals. I would like to bring this out to the world that they may understand the ruthlessness of the British system when it comes to Black people. Zimbabwe my home and my frustration, I wish I was a dog here in UK for they are well protected than Asylum or Illegal migrants (Black African Zimbabweans) who can here using foreign passports which I find it conflicting with the 1951 Geneva Conference that a person could use any documentation when fleeing their own country. In our culture no one would use the door to exit when the enemy is standing by the door they would use any other means. I have got profound evidence that the Minister Dydimus Mutasa did not use a Rhodesian passport to come to the UK in the early 60s. I would want the world to judge such injustice faced with the Zimbabweans in the detention centers around United Kingdom. I wish to hear the response of the Secretary of state.
