This is Osime. He's 21, disabled and facing deportation to a country he doesn't remember and where he has no friends or relatives.
His family fears he won't survive on his own.

Osime was born in Jamaica and moved to the UK at the age of 4. He struggled at school and was only diagnosed with autism at 16, after he was excluded.
He is currently serving a prison sentence for a phone theft he wasn't directly involved in, under joint enterprise law.
In prison he has suffered racist abuse and his physical and mental health has seriously deteriorated.
On October 7, he is due to be moved to a detention centre awaiting deportation. In Jamaica, he has no one.
A petition to prevent Osime's removal has reached 35,000 signatures and the campaign is supported by
