Listeners will recall in November that Nadim Hussain joined us from his hospital bed after nine days on hunger strike to stop his deportation. One month on an emotional Nadim rejoined us to tell us what his situation is now.
Nadim, sitting in his security guard uniform in a Direct Provision centre, tells us about how he was stabbed and knocked unconscious during the attack that ended in the murder of his parents by political rivals in India. He pleads with Taoiseach, Micheal Martin, to honour his promise to help him and he asks poignantly "what is my crime?"
We have to do better than this. Please email and tag the Taoiseach and Minister Roderic O'Gorman #LetNadimStay.

Ireland’s original independent left leaning news, politics, and culture podcast that doesn’t take itself too seriously and still punches well above its weight. Join critically acclaimed & derided hosts, Martin McMahon and Tony Groves as they delve into the news of the day, pull apart the spin and challenge you to be an activist. This is the non-corporate, ad free, non-plastic-podcast reality that the medium is made for. There will be shenanigans!
