Keep Maryama in Belfast
Maryama Yuusuf is a Somali national who is living in Belfast trapped in the asylum process for 14 years. We call on the Home Secretary Amber Rudd to cease all attempts to remove Maryama from the UK, to grant her asylum or an interview for asylum in the UK. It is vital for Maryama's safety that she is not sent back to Somalia. This is an urgent humanitarian wrong that needs to be put right.
Why is this important?
Maryama fled war in Somalia in 2004 and claimed asylum in Dublin. After being refused asylum she travelled to Belfast in 2011 from where she has been deported to London and Dublin many times. She cannot return to Somalia as it is personally too dangerous for her. She has been cruelly separated from her nine children for the past fourteen years. It is essential that she stay in the UK as Belfast is her home. We call on the British government to end the inhumane treatment of Maryama.
