 Migrant Voice - Guardian opinion piece addresses students injustice

On 30 April, the Guardian published an opinion piece written by Nesrine Malik, criticising the Home Office's approach to immigration issues and specifically addressing the injustice facing tens of thousands of foreign students.

"As with all Home Office blunders, the consequences are twofold: devastation for those involved, and the loss of a healthy source of revenue for the British economy," Nesrine writes.

"Those students who were not deported exist in a criminalised limbo, unable to continue their studies, travel anywhere outside the UK or seek employment. Nazek Ramadan, director of Migrant Voice, told the Guardian that “stripped of the right to work, study or even access healthcare, many of the students are destitute and suffering from severe mental health problems”."
