Jean Michel, an asylum seeker from the Democratic Republic of Congo, writes,
I would like to say thank you to everyone who supported me when I was in detention with phone calls to keep up my spirits, signing petitions and taking the time to write personal letters for me, my thanks.
It is a very frightening to be arrested in a foreign country. People in detention feel very alone. I was lucky to have so many people praying for me and campaigning for me. I hope I will see some of you if I visit your community or your church to play drums.
I hope that I will be safe here one day. Merci.
