Gwyn Prosser: "The forced removal of a woman dying of cancer lacks any human compassion"

DOVER and Deal MP Gwyn Prosser says he is ashamed of the way the government treated a Ghanian woman who has died from cancer after being deported from her hospital bed.

Ama Sumani was receiving treatment for cancer in a hospital in Cardiff when the Government decided she should be deported back to Ghana.
