I just received the news that Eddy is safe and the deportation has been officially cancelled. This outcome belongs entirely to the people who took the time to speak up for his life. I am deeply moved by the compassion you all showed for someone most of you had never …

Please help us sign this petition to the UK border Agency and all human rights organisations to stop the deportation of Mr Eddy Eka Mongi to the DR Congo.

Eddy has been known as a critical opposant to the current government who publicly exposes the injustice practices and has participated in the september 2015 protest that left more than 30 people dead including children and women, while many are still in Makala prison facing a death penalty.This prison is known as the most deadliest prison in DRC. Mr Eddy was arrested and he managed to escape and came to UK to seek for political Asylum, the application was refused by the Home office. Currently he is in detention waiting for his deportation back to DR Congo.

Therefore a forceful deportation to DR Congo will give the current government ample opportunity to do whatever they like with him as there is no rule of law with respect to human rights in the country, meanwhile many of Eddy's political colleagues are still in the prison awaiting their day of execution and few have been killed already, so sending him back to Congo DR will put his life in danger, he will not be allowed to have a lawyer, will be denied access to the family, there is no hope of his survival.

Please help us sign this petition for the

UK border agency to review their decision of deporting him and reconsider his asylum application.

Thank you

I truly never imagined one hundred people would step up to help Eddy so quickly. It feels surreal to see this level of kindness and I am honestly just floored by what you have all done.

I am honestly overwhelmed by the kindness you have shown for Eddy. We are getting quite near one hundred names and your effort is the only reason this is happening. Please take a moment to send this link to a few others so we can hit that mark today.

I don't think you should send him back to the DR Republic! He is a good man - does alot for the community and for the children in the area. He teaches judo to children and adults and this, partly because of him, is a huge part of their community. A family.

I am against his deportation because his life will be at danger as he protested against the current government. We are all aware of the injustice and others things happing in Congo once an individual protest it becomes unsafe for him/her .

I can't understand the willing of UK Border agency to deport someone in one of most dangerous country with an illegal president in power who is a war criminal.To deport this guy will be immoral and criminal because he's more likely to end up in prison if he's not killed.Shame!!
