Sukula Family Campaign

Emergency Demonstration in Bolton

Assemble outside Bolton Town Hall

Saturday 10th February

1pm

Stop the Sukula families forced relocation to Liverpool

 

The Sukula family are being sent against their will to Liverpool, and have been told they have to leave their house by Wednesday 14th at 10.00.

 

The Sukulas’ have lived in Bolton for six years, after fleeing the civil war in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

 

They have established strong links with the local community, many people will have followed their courageous campaign, first against deportation and then against the possible separation of their family and denial of their right either to receive benefits or work under New Labour’s notorious Section 9. Their petition has been signed by over 3000 local residents and they have appeared at many local and national events.

 

Now they face a new threat. NASS have instructed them they have to leave Bolton to move to Liverpool, a fine city with its own organisations in support of asylum seekers, but entirely against their will and against the background of a serious medical emergency currently facing the family.

 

Ngeidi Sukula the mother of the family has recently 3 months ago, given birth to a baby “Miracle”. Miracle was born 3 months premature and is still in hospital requiring daily visits.

In addition there are five other children who attend local Bolton nurseries, schools and college.

Flores Sukula is in her third year studying health and social care at Bolton Sixth Form College. Her final exams are only three months away.  But if the family are moved to Liverpool she will have to drop out of her course as it would mean a daily three hour round trip and cost forty pounds a week- money the family simply do not have.

Yet none of these common considerations of humanity matter to NASS. We demand they immediately drop this disgraceful plan and allow the Sukulas’ to live in the community which is now their home.

 

Support the demo on Saturday!

 

Against all forced relocations!

 

Against all deportations!
