Free Frik and Peter’s Post

Thanks to Andy Sirel for the very informative webinar dicussing the Rwanda Act & Treaty and the current issues surrounding the Government’s Rwanda Plan. Key takeaways: ⚠️ Any Asylum Seeker who came to the UK after 1 January 2022, who is still waiting for a decision, should seek legal advice immediately. ⚠️ It is advised that anyone reporting to the Home Office over the next couple of weeks should: 1. Continue to attend your appointment - do not go “underground” as this could result in serious consequences or even detention. 2. Take someone you trust with you to wait outside. 3. Take all of your important documents and a list of important contact numbers. 4. Share a copy of your documents and phone numbers with your trusted friend, to enable them to provide your details on your behalf if needed. 5. If you take any medication, take this with you to your appointment. ⚠️ Have a plan incase of detention: 1. Mobile phones may be taken away so ensure you have copies of all your important documents and phone numbers in paper. 2. Have a written list of any medication you take. ‼️ You can challenge your deportation. ‼️ Do not agree or sign up to anything “voluntarily” without first receiving the information in writing and in the correct language and without seeking legal advice.

We need to rethink and restructure the version of democracy we run here in Nigeria and most parts of Africa...

We are one of 28 signatories of a joint open letter to the Prime Minister expressing our deep sadness and concern as the Safety of Rwanda Bill becomes law. The signatories include survivors of modern slavery and NGOs working to end human trafficking. This law does not only disregard expert advice, but it will make people more vulnerable to trafficking, exploitation and dangerous transit routes. We refuse to stand for it.   We urge the UK Government to reverse the Act, for the sake of modern slavery survivors.

Regulations, be they legislation or delegated rules, are a critical feature of any state seeking to ensure the well-being of children because it organises in a systematic way the responsibilities, enforcement, the budget and services that allow children to thrive. #kenyanphotographer #kenya #childrenprotection #goodgovernance #governance #eastafricancommunity #unitednations #superphotographer #explore #africa #africanphotographers #humanitarianphotography #humanitarianphotographer

Worth reading: #Somaliland can gain #InternationalRecognition & reparations by defeating #Somalia in ICJ, asserting its #Sovereignty. Historical & legal ambiguities from the 1960 union support its independence claim. Time for justice & self-determination.

Democracy is not just a form of government but a promise to ensure that the voices and choices of the people are heard and respected. On this day, we reflect on the progress we have made towards upholding democracy and protecting the rights of all citizens. We also recognize the challenges and barriers that still exist such as corruption, inequality and violence. As we celebrate Democracy Day, let us recommit ourselves to protecting and promoting the rights of all Nigerians. Let us hold our leaders accountable, demand transparency and accountability. We need to work towards a society where everyone can live in dignity and freedom. Happy Democracy Day, Nigeria. May we continue to strive for a more just, equal and democratic society for all. #DemocracyDay #LesiNunumaa #HumanRightsAdvocate #LegalResearcher

ICYMI | With the ANC constantly facing allegations of corruption, maladministration and poor service delivery, one would think there was nothing more the party could do to shock South Africans. However, it has left the unassuming community of Madelakufa 2 in Thembisa dumbstruck by actually fulfilling a promise made ahead of the May 2024 national elections: to provide the informal settlement with electricity. https://lnkd.in/dgnAR-fy
