Don't Let Them Deport Sebastiao Kalamandua
http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=68507

An Angolan man who fled to Ireland to escape torture and imprisonment is now threatened with deportation by the Minister for Justice. If Michael McDowell succeeds in throwing him out of the country, he faces death. He needs your support if he is to stay safely in Ireland.

Sebastiao Mpembele Kalamandua was conscripted into the Angolan army in 1999 while he was studying architecture. He was forced to take part in Angola’s civil war, and was then imprisoned after the authorities accused him of passing on classified information. In prison he was tortured, and suffered five months of solitary confinement. In 2001 he managed to escape, and reached Ireland. His wife and three children are probably still in Angola, but Sebastiao has no knowledge of their whereabouts.

Here in Ireland, Sebastiao has attended counselling at the Centre for the Care of Survivors of Torture, who have drawn up a medical report on his case. He is a volunteer with the Special Olympics, and is due to accompany the Irish team to the Special Olympics in Japan in February. He is also an unpaid apprentice with the Irish Modern Dance Theatre, and has taken part in acclaimed performances.
