Rejected petition After his bravery, Robert Chilowa should be given leave to remain in the UK

Rejected on

Zimbabwean Robert Chilowa has been told he no longer has a right to remain in the UK. He was told this whilst in a hospital bed suffering from the effects of smoke inhalation after entering a burning building and saving two small children from a fire. An exception should be made in his case
