WE STAND WITH SIMBA

As ROHR Zimbabwe we are very concerned with the treatment Simba Mujakachi is getting at the hands of an unsympathetic immigration system. To us he could be a son, brother, nephew etc.. What is happening to him can happen to anyone who is still in the process of seeking asylum in this country. 

We are an organisation that fights for human rights. We believe Simba Mujakachi is being unfairly and inhumanly treated by an unsympathetic immigration system which has forced the NHS to send Simba a bill of £100,000.00. 

Simba’s story is well covered by the media and can be found on this link. People seeking asylum go through a lot and Simba's story is evidence of how hostile the immigration system is. We are not only standing with Simba because he is a Zimbabwean. We can do this for anyone but this one hits us hard because it is closer to home. We have a great relationship with RtR and TWMF as we all fight for the same cause and our members have worked and continue to work directly with Simba. They describe him as an intelligent amazing young man whose life has been affected by this insensitive immigration system. He is now living in anxiety with a £100,000 bill on his shoulders We are asking the UK government to be more sympathetic to this young man and all people in his situation. Reality is that, with his medical condition, he will never be able to work, let alone pay this bill even if he was to be given the right to work. JUSTICE FOR SIMBA
