On 12 February, the cover of the Guardian, and two additional stories inside by Amelia Gentleman, highlight new evidence that raises questions over Home Office’s cheating accusations against 35,000 international students, a boost for our #MyFutureBack campaign.
Thousands of students saw their lives destroyed by false allegations of cheating. For a decade international students have been fighting to clear their names after IT errors left them criminalised, separated from family and left in debt. Thousands were unjustly stripped of their right to study. We have been campaigning with the students since 2017.
Several of our members were interviewed for one of the articles on the devastating impact on the tens of thousands of students, and their fight to clear their names of these false allegation. The Guardian also published an explainer how the issue came about.
