[noborders-brum] Update on Christine Mulumba

[Felipe Molina]

 Hi Everyone

 Christine's deportation has been stopped!
 She is now back in Yarlswood detention centre and will hopefully be
 released on bail on Monday. Christine's new solicitor was able to sort out
 an injuction against her removal and it was received last minute when she
 was already in Heathrow. It was lucky that a decent interested, clued up
 lawywer was found by Christine's brother-in-law, after her having one that
 seemed disinterested and absent - an experience that many asylum seekers
 have when trying to get legal help. I spoke to her brother-in-law today
 who said that it all wouldn't have been possible without everyones support
 and efforts. He and Christine have been very touched by the solidarity
 from people unknown to them. So thanks to everyone who helped in different
 ways. I have been particularly amazed by the amount of people who have
 sent faxes, and that is just taking into account people who have emailed
 us back saying they have done so. Unfortunately though it isn't over yet.
 She may still be at risk of deportation in the future until she is granted
 political asylum. The support will continue so we will keep you posted.

 All the best


 Felipe
