Campaigners ask UK to release failed asylum seeker from detention

Campaigners are asking Home Secretary Theresa May to release Evenia Mawongera from detention.

The campaigners have set up a petition for Mawongera's release. Petition click here.

They say Evenia must be allowed to stay in Leicester with her daughters and grandchildren, all of whom are British citizens.

Evenia is at risk of persecution, arrest and extremely serious ill-treatment if removed to Zimbabwe.
