Between moral & legal: UK threatens Indian woman IN COMA with deportation

by admin
An Indian woman in a coma after surgery has been denied permanent residency in the UK and threatened with deportation. An immigration barrister told RT that, although legally correct, the Home Office’s policies lack flexibility.

Bhavani Esapathi, 31, who arrived in the UK on a student visa, was in a vegetative state when she received a letter from the Home Office stating that her application for ‘leave to remain’, a British term for permanent residency, was rejected.

The woman is currently undergoing treatment for Crohn’s disease, a condition which causes inflammation of the digestive tract and sometimes leads to life-threatening complications.

Esapathi claimed that the specific drug therapy that her illness requires is unavailable in India. The Home Office, however, made clear that Esapathi’s circumstances don’t justify her staying in the country and suggested that she could at least get “palliative care” in India.
