CADOS - Campaign against the Deportation of Odette Sefuko

ODETTE SEFUKO is from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). She came to claim asylum in the UK because her life was threatened. She was imprisoned, tortured and raped for trying to help women who had been raped and because she is Bunyamulenge; an ethnic group that have been persecuted in DRC for many decades. Many of Odettes family have also been murdered. Odette is seeking asylum under the 1951 UN Convention on the Status of Refugees. The Appeal case has been refused, and is now being reviewed in the European Court of Human Rights. The Home Office do not accept that Odette is Congolese, despite reputable evidence. They want to send her to Uganda, where she might face imprisonment, torture, rape or death. Please sign if you wish to support this campaign.

Dear Home Secretary, we, the undersigned are concerned citizens who strongly object to the unjust refusal of Odette Sefukos asylum claim and demand you reconsider your decision and offer her protection from arrest/rape and/or murder by not deporting her to Uganda or DRC and granting her leave to remain in the UK
