Support for asylum
SUPPORTERS of a Sheffield asylum seeker set to be deported on Thursday gathered in the city centre last night to draw attention to her plight.
They claim 25-year-old Annociate Nimpagaritse, from Burundi could be killed if she returns to her homeland where her parents were murdered.
She fled three years ago and began making a new life for herself in Burngreave – starting college, joining a church choir and doing voluntary work – while applying for asylum.
But her two applications were rejected and she is now in a deportation centre after being told she is to be flown home on Thursday.
