To: Home Sec. Theresa May
Aderonke will die if we don't speak out!
Aderonke fled to the UK to seek asylum. But after a humiliating interrogation where UK officials refused to believe she was a "real" lesbian, a judge is now poised to send Aderonke back to Nigeria... where she'll be killed.
We still have a chance to save her. The UK Home Office has just announced plans to reevaluate the process they use for LGBT asylum cases, but reform won't come in time to help — unless we can convince Secretary Theresa May to halt deportations first, and keep Aderonke in the UK!

Why is this important?
When Aderonke was outed as a lesbian in Nigeria, she was arrested, tortured, and sentenced to death, forced to watch her family be killed first.
