LISG member Jacqueline was detained yesterday at Dallas Court signing centre by the UK Border Agency.
Jacqueline, who loves singing with Manchester Lesbian and Gay chorus, has had a claim for asylum refused and is preparing a fresh claim. We need to make a fuss to stop her being deported to danger in Uganda. As a known lesbian who been previously imprisoned in Uganda, Jacqueline is likely to suffer violence, imprisonment or even a threat to her life if she is returned.
Please would you add your name to this petition:
Although Ugandan President Museveni recently blocked a proposed law to give life sentences to lesbians and gays, he clearly stated that he wants the abnormal condition of homosexuality cured, and recruits rescued. Gays and lesbians in Uganda still face prison sentences of up to seven years.
LISG volunteer Karen has been to visit Jacqueline in the holding centre. For the latest information on Jacqueline's detention, please visit our Facebook page:
