Justice For Chenai

posted: 24/08/2011

GHT is supporting a campaign for a Zimbabwean woman, Chenai Mudzamiri to stay in the UK.

Chenai fled from Zimbabwe and claimed asylum in the UK after she was brutally imprisoned, raped and
tortured for not actively supporting the ruling party, Zanu PF.  The Home Office have decided that she does not have a case for asylum, so she is at risk of deportation back to Zimbabwe.

Chenai has a well founded fear of persecution if she is returned to Zimbabwe. Deporting Chenai would breach Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which prohibits you from returning a person to face torture.

Please send a letter to the Home Secretary, which can be downloaded here.

You can also sign Chenai's e-petition here.

Thanks for your support.

Manchester Pride 2011, a Message from GHT

posted: 23/08/2011

Is it really that time of year again? Manchester Pride is fast approaching and there's only a few days now until the Big Weekend.

For the last few months we have been preparing for what we hope will be another successful and memorable campaign. This year our campaign - to tie in with the ‘Best of British’ theme of Pride 2011 - is ‘I Heart GHT’.

We decided on our slogan earlier in the year and it may look familiar to you given the recent riots which unfolded recently in Manchester and across the country.

Shortly after these events the ‘I Heart Mcr’ campaign took off. We fully support this campaign and what it stands for and we're proud to be part of this fantastic city.

We hope that our 'I Heart GHT' campaign complements the other similar campaigns that are around at the moment. We want to make sure that everyone knows about our services and how proud we are of them!

We look forward to seeing you on the Parade, at our stall in the Expo or at the Candlelit Vigil in Sackville Gardens on Bank Holiday Monday.

Have a happy, peaceful and safe Manchester Pride 2011 - from all of us at GHT.

Let’s get this party started! It’s the run up to Manchester Pride so to mark the occasion we’ll be looking back at Prides gone by.

Do you have any memories or memorabilia you would like to share such as old photographs perhaps?

If so, bring them along to the pre-Pride event. We’ll also be having a quiz and a display of some of GHT’s archive of photographs and past campaigns.
