GOOD NEWS!
THE THULAMBO FAMILY ARE COMING HOME TO SHEFFIELD!
Priviledge, Valerie & Lorraine have been granted temporary release from detention. They are obviously extremely relieved after their near 4 month ordeal and very grateful for the support they have received from everyone.
The judge has allowed them to apply for judicial review. It is a big win for them and all of us who have stood by them in these difficult times but it is just a small part in terms of the legal process. They will still need our support as ever. We now need to wait for the details of the next stage in the process before establishing what can best be done to support the case.
At a meeting in which Councillors of all parties agree to write again to Home Secretary Jacqui Smith urging her to stop the deportation Council Leader Paul Scriven said: "I personally know Priviledge [..] and hers is a story of horror. [..] They are a hard-working family who stood up against the evils in Zimbabwe and they deserve our protection. It will be a national disgrace if the Home Secretary exports them to possible death."

WALK THE WILBERFORCE WAY
'face to face and side by side'
Monday 11th to Wednesday 13th May 2009
Two years on from the launch of the Wilberforce Way Yorkshire and Humber Faiths Forum is inviting individuals, groups and
organisations to walk ‘face to face and side by side' and talk and reflect. The three key sections of the Wilberforce
Way will be walked in daily sections of approximately 9 miles and each day will finish with warm hospitality and light refreshments.
The
Wilberforce Way acts as a challenge for participants to become involved in today's campaign to abolish
modern slavery in all its forms as well as recognising the work of Wilberforce and other abolitionists.
