🚨 NEW: Pakistani asylum seeker wins £100,000 after being ‘treated like criminal’ for overstaying visa!!
A Pakistani asylum seeker has been awarded close to £100,000 in compensation after claiming she was “treated like a criminal” for overstaying her visa in the UK.
Nadra Almas, who originally arrived in Britain on a student visa, spent 16 years fighting to remain in the country, arguing that her Christian faith put her at risk of persecution if she were forced to return to Pakistan.
In 2018, she was detained and handcuffed by Home Office officials, who informed her she would be deported. However, she was released two weeks later, as heard by the High Court.
Despite her release, it took the Government almost three years to grant her refugee status, during which time she was unable to work, claim benefits, or travel.
