AMDANI JUMA’S REMOVAL DELAYED
Less than 27 hours before Amdani Juma’s scheduled removal from the UK, Friends of Amdani Juma were informed that his removal has been delayed by 6 days to Tuesday 10th Jan.
Friends were told the news this evening as an hourly countdown to his departure time was being launched at a Nottingham City Centre church. No reason for the postponement has been provided.
The online petition now stands at 1,000 bringing the total number of signatures in support of Amdani to over 2,000.
A spokesperson for Friends of Amdani said:
“It gives us more time but we can’t be complacent, we need to keep the pressure up. We are also concerned about the effects of all this on Amdani’s health. He has the threat of removal hanging over him and he has now been in detention for 4 days. He needs to be with his friends
