Her mother Amna, 50, has now been given the right to appeal her asylum refusal again, but Asma has been barred from further appealing the decision and has been ordered to leave her home ahead of imminent deportation to Pakistan.
A GP letter submitted to the Home Office detailed that Asma’s mother Amna “suffers with severe anxiety, depression and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder following years of abuse and stress”.
Aliya Khan, at Hope Project, a charity that has supported Asma and Amna with their asylum case, said it would be very dangerous for the pair to return to Pakistan.
Asma Khan has been told she will be deported to Pakistan and be separated from her ill mother, who is allowed to stay.
Since 2016, the pair have been unable to access housing services, refused access to any benefits or state financial support, and unable to work or study in the UK.
