Today saw the Friends of Raja and Mahmoud (#foram) protesting outside the Waterside Court Immigration Centre where the UK Border Agency’s Leeds office is situated. About 150 people came along to protest against the forced removal of Raja and Mahmoud.
A huge thank you to all who came to speak out in support of Raja and Mahmoud.
Good coverage of today’s protest on Made in Leeds and Calendar.
Pathetic coverage on BBC Look North!

Well done everyone! Let’s hope it makes some difference.
The Home Office’s comments about expecting people to leave of their own accord is a bit rich when the HO have had their passports!
