Charles Atangana is a journalist who fled Cameroon after death threats. He has lived and worked in this country for many years but is now facing deportation back to Cameroon. He is being held in Dover Immigration Removal Centre.

The NUJ is actively supporting Charles and is campaigning for him to be given indefinite leave to remain in the UK (he lives and works in Scotland)

Tomorrow he has a bail hearing in London and the NUJ will be present supporting him.

Protest on Thursday 12th August at 14.00 in London, Taylor House,  88 Rosebery Avenue, case number EC1R 4QU.
