Rejected petition Support 19 year old Afghan Walid Durani for indefinite leave to remain in the UK

Walid's family supplied the American military with oil & electricity. Because of this, the Taliban beheaded his grandfather & threatened Walid would be next. His mother sent him to the UK to live with his sister where he has attended school, college & worked since.

More details

He has spent his formative years in the UK, learning English, attending school, college, working with a building firm and being highly commended in last year's Young Builder of the Year Awards. He no longer has family in Afghanistan.
The local MP has backed the campaign & Walid's story has appeared on BBC news.
