The Telegraph and Argus: A Muslim missionary and his family who are facing deportation to Pakistan have won the support of a Bradford MP and hundreds of campaigners.
Supporters fear if Tanweer Akhtar, 47, and his wife and son are sent back, they could be imprisoned by the state authority and their lives could be at risk from persecuting extremist groups including the Taliban – because of their beliefs as members of the Ahmadiyya religious community.
The Akhtars were taken from their home at Sewell Road, Laisterdyke, on March 7 and are now being detained at immigration’s Yarl’s Wood Removal Centre in Bedfordshire.
