Please sign our petition to support our member GLORY METFYEAN

We have set up a petition to the Home Office to grant Nigerian lesbian Glory Metfyean permission to stay in the UK

As an out lesbian Glory Metfyean would face a serious risk of persecution and severe harm if returned to Nigeria, a country where being gay or lesbian is a criminal offence. We ask the Home Office to grant her permission to remain in the UK and be safe from harm.

We would be really grateful if you could add your signature.

Fundraising for destitute LISG member Glory Metfyean

Hello all

Please find an update on our member Glory . She is finally out of Yarl's Wood and back in Manchester with us. A supporter stood bail for her, and another supporter is providing a bail address, where Glory will be hosted until April.

We have effectively fundraised for some accommodation and utility costs for Glory, but we are short of about 150£. We would be very grateful if you could spare 10-20£ and contribute to building this amount. If you are interested in giving a small donation, please contact us at lisg.manchester(at)yahoo.co.uk

Thank you very much
LISG
