Guest I_Dream_of_Electric_Sheep Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Some of you might be aware of the Christian Kisuka situation. http://www.sundayherald.com/news/heraldnews/display.var.2381288.0.asylum_row_could_cost_scotland_a_football_star.php There was a bit of a debate on the BBC AFC board relating to this. http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A38057457 Ultimately a petition was suggested. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Petition in favour of KISUKA gaining residency. http://www.gopetition.co.uk/online/20519.html __________________________________________________________________________________ However if you feel so strongly against this petition you can create a counter petition against at the following site: http://www.gopetition.co.uk/ I would like to emphasise that this article is about and ONLY about the CHRISTIAN KISUKA situation it is NOT part of a wider debate on immigration. In other words keep things civil! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Davo83 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Page doesnt open im afraid! Will definately sign though, as it seems like a genuine case of where common sense needs to prevail. He has shown himself to be a model citizen here in the UK, has built a firm home for himself and if he signs for us will certainly fill a skills gap. im sure if he was set to sign for an english club, it wouldnt be a problem.

glasgow sheep Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 signed the immigration system is a daily mail inspired joke, infact are we not still sending folk back to Zimbabwe? Good luck to the lad but I suspect it will all be in vain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so sure about that Last December Al Bangura, 19 year old watford player had his appeal against deportation rejected. Took serious backing from the FIFPro, David Blunkett, the local MP, Elton John and a protest from 18000 Watford and Plymouth Argyle fans before the home office decided he could stay till he got a work permit which he was eventually awarded in mid january.

If his mums application for assylum is accepted in France, could they then not come back as EU citizens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 If his mums application for assylum is accepted in France, could they then not come back as EU citizens. Would they be citizens of France/EU though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweetchuck Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Would they be citizens of France/EU though? No, you're quite correct to point out the difference between residency and citizenship. They've applied for residency, which would not make him an EU citizen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajja Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I hope people are signing it for ethical reasons rather than for Aberdeen FC reasons. Base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
