Evening Chronicle reports: Teen who feared for life can stay in UK — Afghan practicing Christian Zaman Mohammadi
— “As reported in the Chronicle, Zaman Mohammadi, 18, who came to the North East two years ago as an asylum seeker, has a home in Wallsend and studies English at Newcastle College. But in August immigration officials told him he must leave the country and return to his native Afghanistan.”
— “As a practicing Christian, the teenager feared for his life if forced to go back to Afghanistan. At an immigration tribunal at the Royal Quays, in North Shields, immigration Judge Lawrence Sacks ruled that Zaman should be allowed to stay. And the Home Office has now accepted Judge Sacks’ decision.”
— “Zaman has been granted refugee status and is allowed to stay until 2014.”
