jfc. It was determined by a US judge that she could not be deported to Sierra Leone due to danger she would face in the country she fled. So they deported her to Ghana, a country she had never been to, and Ghana deported her to Sierra Leone.

Finally, @xoe.gay 's Persuasion. There are a lot of Jane Austen games out there, but for me, this is the only one that really feels like it understands the books, that has any bite to it, and that feels like it's interested in people. It's a remarkable game.
