Government urged to rethink Manchester woman's deportation

There's been calls for the government not to deport a Zambian-born nurse from Manchester.

Dianne Ngoza has been in the UK for 14 years after arriving on a work permit in 2002.

The former nurse was detained after attending an immigration centre in Dallas Court Salford, she was then taken to Yarl's Wood detention centre in Bedford.

Friends of Dianne have labelled her treatment unfair and draconian and held a vigil in the city centre for her earlier this week.

Manchester central MP Lucy Powell has also got involved after receiving several calls from her constituents.
