stop deportations to ebola countries
The Home office is still sending failed asylum seekers and overstayers back to Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone despite the risks of contracting Ebola. We want the HO to allow nationals from these countries to stay in the UK by granting exceptional leave to remain until the threat is over.
Why is this important?
The Foreign Office say that there should only be essential travel to these countries, but in the UK the HO is still sending people back to an uncertain future. Many of these people will return to countries where health services, education and civil society is in a state of collapse. The USA have allowed Liberians to stay in the USA until the threat is over. The UK should do the same.
