Petition Grant a temporary visa to our father 75, who is homeless as a result of war.

Abdulkarim the elderly disabled father UK citizens Ahmed and Muayad Damous has been left living in a park after fleeing the Syrian conflict and his hometown Idlib following its capture by ISIS. They want to keep him safe this winter, they fear he may not last the winter and just want to help him.

More details

The brothers have applied three times for a visa for their father to come and stay with them in the UK for a temporary period. They own their own business and house and can fully support him during his stay, including the cost of any medical or other unforeseen issues that might arise. Each time they have been refused.
They worry that their father, Ahmed's daughters' grandfather, is going to become seriously unwell. They are being stopped from helping him.
Please grant him a temporary visa.
