Lodi is a Lebanese citizen born and raised in Saudi Arabia, two Middle Eastern countries that advocate the death penalty for homosexuality. Lodi is currently in the UK and has applied for refugee status; she is currently classified as an Asylum Seeker.

Her fiancé lives in England and they have been together for 5 years. 

Now, the UKBA is threatening to send Lodi back to Lebanon, where she may die for being a lesbian engaged to another woman. 

As an appeal to the UKBA, King's College LGBT Society are setting up a petition to get as many signatures as possible before the 26th March, 2013, to show that Lodi has mass support and interest from UK Citizens. 

We need the UKBA to see that Lodi deserves a life as an open and free citizen in the UK, as opposed to a life overshadowed by the death penalty in Lebanon.

Lodi is terrified that the life she built here with her partner will be torn away by the UKBA. We are nearing the two hundred fifty mark and hitting that number will force them to recognize that Lodi is not alone. Please send the link to your inner circle right now so we can show them how many people demand her safety.

Lodi is terrified that her future is being stripped away but seeing these signatures grow gives us a fighting chance. We are nearing a hundred names and I need you to help me push past this mark to prove how many people demand her safety.

The government needs to wake up. Sending a gay woman back to a place where she faces death is basically signing her death warrant. Do the right thing.

This is completely wrong. Sending someone back to be killed is not what this country should be doing.

She has been here 5 years! How can they just tear her away from her life and her fiancé. Shame on the home office.
