A Kenyan-born pastor is battling for her life in Canada as she faces deportation back to the very country she fled due to threats from a powerful religious figure.
Reverend Rosalind Wanyeki, who has served the Kenyan diaspora community in Toronto for five years, is scheduled to be deported on August 7 despite overwhelming community support for her stay.
Wanyeki fled Kenya with her two young children, then aged four and eight months, after facing persecution from a high-ranking church official. Since arriving in Canada, she has established a church, run a business, and provided extensive pastoral and emotional support to over 1,000 members of the Kenyan community.
