The government officially suspended the deportations for our community today. This victory belongs to everyone who stood up and refused to look away. Keep your eyes on the implementation process because we are staying organized to ensure these promises hold firm.

Find Hope Organisation.This is a none Profit making Organisation that is fully registered.Our core value and focuses is on Defending,Advocating,speaking,and creating a strong platform for LGBTI Immigrants and Youth Citizens that feels i isolated and judged because of their Sexual Orientation and Gender issues.
We would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the overwhelming support that Swedish Government have rendered for the past years,and kindly request for PARDON and EXEMPTION of LGBT members from the new amendments that have been adopted in the new Swedish Law on Asylum Seekers.
The Swedish Parliament has adopted the amendments to the law that gives the Asylum seekers, the right to daily allowances,free accommodation and the temporary identity cards to only those that are still waiting for their decisions.
But to those that have already been given negative decisions,or those that have been appealed and not granted permission, to handover all the Migration's belongings such as the house keys,Identity cards and the Bank Cards from the 1st -of June 2016.And members are asked to cooperate with the Police on proceedings of their Deportation.
Our LGBT Members have already lost their sovereignty,because the society think they are DEVIANTS and not allowed to live with the rest of the society since they differ from the culture norms,society and the constitutional regularities.
Our Members have been intimidated,faced arbitrary arrests,detention,hate crime,stigma,condemnation and death threats before they came to Sweden.
Most African Countries do not allow Homosexuality,the Government and society prohibits this,the bills have been drafted and still being debated upon, in different parliaments,of different countries,others have been passed into laws against Homosexuality.
The Governments that our members came running from, are still the same,the Presidents that signed these laws against Homosexuality are still in power,the society is still cruel about the issue. The mob justice is still a big challenge,the Judicial is less concerned since Homosexuality contradicts with the Laws.
Sweden has been their sanctuary and there's no hope to live once these members are deported back to their respective countries.
Find Hope Organisation disagrees with the new law and its repercussion to the members,and therefore asking for pardon and exemption of LGBT members from this new law.

I have spent the last few days meeting with legal advocates to push back against the new amendments. We need you to email your local representatives right now to demand they challenge these deportations. Post the link to this petition on your Facebook feed today to keep the pressure on.

The scale of this response proves that people refuse to stay silent while these asylum seekers face danger. We have momentum now so reach out to your local representative by phone today and demand they push for this exemption.

When people escape countries because of who they are, they are not looking for luxury it's a matter of life threatening situtions. They do not only lose sovereignty but also property, family and friends . It's sad and dangerous for them to add another lose of safety in a country where they hoped they would get it. Sending LGBT persons back to countries where they feel unsafe is emotionally and psychologically draining and we've heard stories of those who lose hope and end up committing suicide.
I'll never understand how destroying families through deportation benefits our society. How we treat the undocumented says a great deal about us as a people and whether or not we'll continue to fulfill the fundamental Swedish promise of equality and opportunity for all.
This new law in the offing does not put into consideration the lives of marginalised asylum seekers who flee from persecution. In essence, it's sending them back to the guilotines they fled from in the first place. #SOS
Disigare totalt with the current Swedish policy on refugees and also people having Jobs waiting work permits. This new legislation makes things worse speciellt for exposed groups. I am ashamed of "my" Government
LGBTI immigrants do need more security than just the absence of war activities - please keep them !!!
Snälla stoppa dödandet av hbtq-personer
How can people don't care about other people in danger? It would be better if everybody just could be friends and respect each other. But this world aren't like that (yet). Since it's very dangerous in the immigrants' home country, I think refusing them to escape is very unethical.

I'm a trans man from Canada. I deal with lots of issues but I'm fortunate to have a safe place to stay. I can only imagine what LGBTIQ+ immigrants go through...
