ASYLUM SEEKER, 19, MARRIED TO BRITISH MAN IN A COMA AFTER TAKING OVERDOSE FOR FEAR OF BEING DEPORTED



Her name is  May Brown, she's a Nigerian who resides in the UK and she is 19!
In her suicide note, May wrote:

‘I am deeply sorry that I had to go this way, without even saying goodbye.
‘The UK immigration has finally driven me insane. They’ve pushed me too far this time and I can’t take the pain any more.
‘I don’t want a life or a future you won’t be part of. I love you so much, more than life itself and can’t endure the agony of not being with you.
‘Please forgive me for ending it this way. It’s better to die with my dignity than be subjected to torture and undignified death back in Nigeria.’
She said: ‘If they send me back to Nigeria they are signing my death warrant, they will cut my life short because I will be killed. continue reading

Helen-Claire Brown, Miss Brown's mother-in-law, said the 19-year-old is part of the family and blasted border officials as 'heartless'


‘I have found peace with Michael, he gave me a reason to live. I have got a family here and we don’t claim any benefits.
‘Michael works and I am studying to become a barrister, we have not harmed anybody.’

May Brown is currently in a coma after attempting suicide. May who is a student of public affairs at Weymouth College moved to the UK three years ago.


She met her husband Michael Brown a year ago and they got married in December 2012. She applied for asylum in the UK. However, her request was denied. According to the UK Daily Mail – “Mr Brown, 34, said UK Border Agency officials believe their marriage to be a ‘sham’ with no ‘emotional attachment’.”
While May was due to be deported tomorrow, her husband and mother in-law insist that their marriage is real.

She was so distressed at the prospect of returning to her home country she took an overdose of medication.
In the report on May’s  ordeal via the Daily Mail, her mother in-law outlined reasons why May did not want to return to Nigeria.
Helen-Claire Brown, Ms Brown’s mother-in-law, said the 19-year-old is part of the family and blasted border officials as ‘heartless'
'She came here on a student visa and has applied for asylum because she fears for her life if she goes back.
'What kind of world do we live in when a 19-year-old girl who has been through so much already feels she has no other choice but to kill herself?'
Miss Brown is studying public affairs at Weymouth College and hopes to go to university and become a barrister.
Home Office spokesman said: 'We cannot comment in detail on this case while legal proceedings are ongoing.
'In cases where people are found to have no right to remain in the UK they should leave voluntarily or face removal.' Source Dailymail
