We Need Nestor - Call to Solidarity Vigil

VERY URGENT 
CALL TO SOLIDARITY VIGIL 
between 9 and 10am tomorrow morning, ​
19th July 2018 
Outside Dallas Court 
SALFORD, M50 2GF 

The Home Office have rejected Nestor's application and told him to present at Dallas Court tomorrow morning.  David and Branwen McHugh, longstanding members of the Central Manchester Quaker Meeting who worked with Nestor for several years on the boaz trust​ winter nightshelter project for destitute men write as follows: 

"When Nestor first came to this country 11 years ago, there was an expectation that asylum seekers would show a commitment to their community, which he has obviously accepted and demonstrated. Such involvement inevitably leads to social and emotional attachments being formed. It seems that during this time he also had grounds for believing that his asylum claim might be successful and he would be allowed to stay here permanently, as he tells us that at one stage he was entitled to obtain a Visa, when historical applications or excepted for a limited period, but unfortunately the solicitor acting for him missed the deadline. A subsequent appeal appeal against the decision was then considered separately from his 'legacy papers' and refused. We feel strongly that after this length of time not only should Nestor be allowed to continue with the life he has established here but that he has proved that he would be an asset as a resident of the UK."

Please come and show your solidarity with Nestor. Please send messages of support to admin(a)rapar.org.uk
