Out of Sight
As the British National Party and their anti-immigration stance gains currency, this report on the plight of 3 asylum seekers separated from their children, casts a shadow over the future of Britain.
'I last saw my daughter when she was four' says Marjorie. Marjorie was arrested in Uganda for helping women to learn their rights. After enduring extreme torture, she escaped and boarded a flight to the UK, leaving her daughter, Sweetny, behind. 'I arrived nearly dead' Marjorie remembers 'but they didn't give me asylum. I was sent to a detention centre'. 'Naomi describes the conditions of her 10 month long stay in a detention centre as 'unliveable' revealing that 'I didn't have enough food to feed my child'. Now facing a 'split family removal' order, it is likely that she will be deported and her 2 year old daughter, taken into care. 'The man told me he would take me back to Uganda even if he had to break my hands' says Bella of her deportation and separation from her children. Back in Uganda, Sweetny can only hope that her mother's application for a visa for her daughter, is successful. 'No one has ever picked me up from school' , she cries.
