Dear All,

I have been in touch with Amnesty International (AI) in London and it is looking very likely that AI is prepared to issue a statement, in support of Abdou Karim Sanneh's asylum application; and based on my experience, the British Home Home Office has always granted asylum (rather grudgingly I have to add) in all the asylum cases that AI has OFFICIALLY supported in the past.

Below are two emails from Amnesty International West Africa Research Team in London, but I am withholding the one addressed to Paul Dillane and copied to me.

By the way, Mr Paul Dillane is the refugee researcher at the Amnesty International Local Chapter office in London, whereas the sender of the two emails below - Dominic Rosselet - is a researcher in the West Africa section, based at the Amnesty International Secretariat in London.

Regards,
Ebrima

Dear Dr Ceesay,

Please find below the email I sent to Paul Dillane at AI UK (020 70331575) this morning. He has been in touch with Mr Sanneh's new lawyer. She is keen to work with us and will send us all the documents regarding his case as soon as she gets them. We will then be able to issue a statement. According to the lawyer, everything is looking positive at the moment.
We have also been told that Mr Sanneh is not on the fast track for deportation. He is being detained and his case will be re-tried in the next week before a judge. We are therefore trying to collect as much supporting evidence as possible.

Best wishes,
Dominique Rosselet
