The Minister has finally granted Quinta and her daughters leave to remain. My heart is full knowing these girls are safe from the horrors they face back home. I am forever grateful that you stood by us while their future hung in the balance.
Quinta should have been granted leave to remain two years ago, as the wife of a political refugee. But he suffered a miscarriage of justice, became suicidal, and disappeared. She then lost her own case and all further Appeals. She and her two small daughters are now in danger of detention and return to Cameroon at any time.
Quinta fled forced marriage and circumcision, and fears her daughters would be subject to the same fate - if she avoided imprisonment, destitution and worse, on arrival.
We, the undersigned, ask the Minister for Immigration to right the wrongs done to this young woman who has suffered so much, and to her two innocent children, by awarding them compassionate leave to remain in their community in Britain and to live normal, safe and useful lives.
I have spent my mornings writing to the Minister and laying out the reality of what these children face if they are forced to leave. The office remains silent for now but they cannot ignore the weight of your names on this document forever.

The momentum behind Quinta is overwhelming and it proves that people refuse to look away from this injustice. Seeing this level of support gives me real hope that we can keep her and her girls safe from the danger they face.

This is heartbreaking. How are they supposed to survive back there? Let them stay here where they are safe.

Just let them be. Why is the system so broken that it treats people like this?
