Down’s syndrome boy faces being deported from Britain after 17 years - because his parents died
Wadih Chourey, 44, moved to the UK in 1997 with his mum, dad and two brothers, because he was being mentally and physically abused by local gangs in Beirut
A man with Down’s syndrome who has lived in Britain for 17 years faces being deported - because his parents died.
Wadih Chourey, 44, moved from Lebanon with his family in 1997 after suffering abuse by gangs in Beirut.
He now lives with one of his two brothers Camil, 42, in East Twickenham.
MP Vince Cable said the move by the Home Office to have him kicked out was “disgraceful”.

Your damn right it is a disgrace. I live in North West Leeds and read this article via social media. I have circulated it to all my friends, and also brought it to the attention of my local Member of Parliament too. We keep the bad ones, and let the good ones go!

From the information that I have seen I certainly share your concern regarding the decision by the Home Office in relation to this, and I would echo the comments already made by my colleague Vince Cable.
Whilst the Home Office will not respond to me with any details of this case, I have still written to James Brokenshire, Immigration Minister, to raise both your concerns and my own. I will of course update you as soon as I receive a response.
