British government orders deportation of Alhassan Bangura

December 12th, 2007 | By: Matthew | No Comments »

This has nothing to do with the national team, but I’m furious, so here goes. The British government has ordered the deportation of Alhassan Bangura, a young footballer from Sierra Leone who fled his home at the age of 15 amidst death threats and violence. He’s created a new life in Britain, married and Englishwoman, and was scouted by Watford, who consider him one of their most promising players. If he returns to Sierra Leone, he will have to leave his wife behind for a place in which he has no family and no life, and where he is likely to be killed.

If you’re British and you feel as strongly about this as I do, write to you MP.
