This Nigerian woman has posted a video pleading with the U.K. to grant her asylum.She is gay and faces a prison term or death sentence if deported back to her native country.according to her.
Apata Aderonke Adejumoke, 46, tells how she came to the U.K. a decade ago seeking asylum, having been sentenced to death by stoning under Sharia law. She was never granted it, and now she faces deportation. Even if the Islamic court’s sentence doesn’t hold, she still faces up to 14 years in prison under a secular antigay law passed this year in Nigeria.

Adejumoke describes how her former girlfriend was murdered in Nigeria in 2012, the work of violent vigilantes.
But to be granted asylum, Adejumoke says, she has to “prove” she’s a lesbian.
