The UK govt has failed Osime Brown. They have taken his sanity, his freedom and they might end up taking his life. This vulnerable autistic and learning disabled young man was convicted for a crime he merely witnessed, and faces deportation on Oct 7th. http://chng.it/GYYLw7RJ ">https://chng.it/GYYLw7RJ&...

@Samantha_Stein so kindly reached out to Osime& #39;s mother to give her a platform to tell their story. #BlackLives won& #39;t matter until black and disabled, neurodivergent, LGBTQ+, fat, immigrant and ALL the other black lives matter as well. #BlackLivesMatter https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGWFe8uZT2Q">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

British institutions are deeply entrenched in racism harking back to darker days in history. Racism may not be as overt as it once was, but it is very much still prevalent. If you are perceived as different in more ways than one, you may face multi-discrimination.

This is what is happening to Osime. Not only is he assumed to be a violent criminal due to his black skin, he& #39;s misunderstood as uncooperative due to his neurological and mental health differences. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/sep/29/osime-brown-deportation-uk-racist-justice-system-autistic-black-jamaica">https://www.theguardian.com/commentis...
