Aamir Ashraf, who was a trainee journalist in Pakistan, has a degree in journalism, is a member of the Manchester branch of the National Union of Journalists and lives with his wife Hummera and their two boys, Abdullah is 3 years old and Obaid is twenty months.
Against the wishes of both families, whilst living in Lahore, Pakistan, the couple married on 12 December 2001.
When the families of both Hummera and Aamir found out about the ‘love marriage’ Aamir’s brother tried to murder him whilst Hummera’s brothers beat her severely.
It is clearly not safe for the family to return to Pakistan but so far they have not been able to obtain the right to remain in Britain. Aamir is now obliged to report to Dallas Court Immigration Centre as a person who is ‘liable to be detained’.
Please show your support on Wednesday by turning up and joining the demonstration.
