Refugees Staying With MSP to be Deported

A MOTHER and daughter given refuge in the home of Rosie Kane, the Glasgow MSP, are to be deported after losing their battle to stay in Scotland.
Mercy Ikolo, a 32-year-old asylum seeker from Cameroon and 18-month-old Percieliz have been ordered by immigration officials to be removed to Ireland, where the child was born.
The pair had been staying with Ms Kane, the Scottish Socialist MSP, and her two teenage daughters, since leaving Dungavel detention centre in Lanarkshire last August.
Ms Kane called news of the deportation "heartbreaking". She said last night: "They are family to us. Mercy and I are like sisters. We just feel numb."
Ms Ikolo, a qualified teacher, who has aspirations to train as a social worker, said: "Our hearts are broken and we are afraid. I wish we knew what was in front of us."
Ms Ikolo was seven months' pregnant when she fled Cameroon where, she claimed, her family were targets for political violence. The Herald
