As the Izevbehai family's battle against deportation resumes in the Supreme Court, Residents Against Racism members will gather in a show of support for Jemima, Naomi and Pamela.

“Deportation to Nigeria would put the two girls at grave risk of Female Genital Mutilation and expose Pamela to danger because of her profile and outspokenness against FGM," says spokesperson Rosanna Flynn. "We fully support their case and they should be allowed to stay safely in Ireland.”

Meet at the Four Courts at 10 a.m. on Friday 29th April.
