BRITISH authorities will today deport a Jamaican woman despite appeals that her siblings were victims of gang violence.
Denise McNeil has spent 10 years in Britain and says she fled to that country in 2000 after her brother and sister were murdered.
<span style="font-weight: bold">Her brother was killed by gang members and her sister, who was going to be a witness at the trial was also murdered. Another brother was killed after he was deported to Jamaica from Britain after spending five years.</span>
Britain is adamant that McNeil must be deported for criminal charges after a court ruling found no reason to grant her asylum.
<span style="font-weight: bold">Although she has been married to a British citizen her request for a marital visa was rejected.</span> McNeil has also been refused a student's visa.
McNeil was one of 20 women who staged a hunger strike against conditions in which Jamaican inmates were being held at the Yarl's Wood Detention Centre.
<span style="font-weight: bold">She has an eight-year-old British-born son who she will be separated</span> from when she is sent back to Jamaica.
