Our 6,000 asylum seekers deserve more dignity

EARLIER this week, a Nigerian woman who was about to be deported with her two young children, aged seven and five, was brought to the Rotunda hospital as she was bleeding and claiming she had suffered a miscarriage.

Well-known campaigner, Rosanna Flynn, says she was with the woman, Olayinka Ijaware, and saw the bleeding, and a doctor at the hospital wrote that if the bleeding continued, the woman was not fit to travel.

It then transpired that Ms Ijaware’s miscarriage occurred last month, not on the day of the deportation.
