UK deports Pakistani student despite ‘risk to life’
Africa & World Politics, Headlines Wednesday, June 10th, 2015Authorities in the UK have deported a Balochi student to Pakistan, despite a last-ditch attempt to prevent his removal by campaigners who said he faces death or imprisonment.
Activists said Majid Ali, who was deported late on Tuesday, applied for asylum in the UK in 2011 claiming his Balochi nationalist activities put him at risk of harm in Pakistan, where they say his brother went missing and his uncle and cousin have been shot dead.
The application for asylum was rejected by the UK Home Office, which deals with issues to do with immigration and asylum. Al Jazeera contacted the ministry for comment on Ali’s deportation, but a spokesperson said it did not “routinely comment on individual cases.”
The student at the City of Glasgow College in Scotland was detained on May 29 at the Dunvagel Detention Centre in Glasgow after a number of appeals against his deportation order failed.
