JENGbA have had a call from Edward Conteh who is currently being held
at a deportation Centre Brook House Gatwick. He has been given a
ticket to Brussels for a flight leaving 6th October. He has no family
or contacts in Brussels and as far as he knows he
is not being given accomodation.
Edward is a particularly vulnerable young man who was 200 yards away
with Joe Appiah running away from boys attacking them when an incident
resulting in a fatality on the other side of the park. Edward's
deportation hearings were a disgrace - JENGbA campaigners
attended many - he was low risk until a new Probation officer he never
met decided he was high risk based on 'intel' that he had NO evidence
of. JENGbA found him a deportation lawyer and she is working with a
criminal lawyer pro bono to try to stop his deportation.
But this is where the JENGbA campaigners need to take a stand - can
everyone write to the Home Office James Brokenshire MP james.brokenshire.mp@parliament.uk and demand that
Edward is allowed a chance to appeal his conviction for a crime he did
not commit.
Also send Edward cards of support so the detention centre know we are on to them.

If anyone has any
contacts with deportation/immigration campaigns please let us know - we
might need to go and do a protest also - perhaps this Friday.
