The appeal hearing against the deportation of Sohaila and Muslem Bamyani took place on 1st May in Birmingham.
A small group of supporters including relatives, friends and representatives from the local community joined the Bamyani family at the Appeal Court.
Councillor Helen Evans was called as a witness and made a statement to the judge conveying the immense local support for the family. Many of your letters were in the bundle of information given to the judge.
The judge decided he needed time to make a decision and will inform the family’s solicitor of his judgement by letter in the next four to six weeks. We will update you all when we hear the news.
The family’s legal costs are proving much higher than we had originally anticipated. To reflect this we have increased our target on the JustGiving page to £6000. We are able to keep the page open and will publicise it more widely to see if we can attract any more donations. We would be very grateful if you could share the page on Facebook and Twitter so we can reach new supporters.
Many thanks for your on-going support for the family which means so much to them and to us.
The final appeal in the Bamyani’s case is at 10.00 am, May 1st.
Supporters are welcome to attend.
The hearing is taking place at:
Birmingham Immigration and Asylum Chamber (First Tier Tribunal)
Birmingham Civil and Family Justice Hearing Centre
Priory Courts
