Region: United Kingdom
Target: Immigration
Background (Preamble):
UPDATE Jul 24, 2009
The family have been given Bail and will be returning to Manchester today. Please continue to support this family as there is still a lot to be done to ensure their security and safety.
--------------------------------------
On The 1st July 2009 @ 6.30am the Mansour family were taken from their home in Moss Side and moved to a holding centre in Sussex after their legal team failed to help them.
Their legal advisers, who were paid a considerable amount by the Mansours, did not adequately represent them due to staff sickness. This has left the Mansour family in a critical situation.
The family came to England 4 years ago from Egypt because they feared for their lives. They have suffered persecution and worse from religious fundamentalist groups and the police department because of their Christian beliefs. They believe that their lives and those of their 5 young children are at risk if they return to Egypt.

Petition:
We, the undersigned, call on the the British Government to reconsider the deportation of the Mansour family.
There are many controversial issues in this case and we believe that their human rights have been infringed.
