A woman who was at risk of being sent back to Afghanistan and feared for her life has spoken of her happiness and excitement at hearing she will be allowed to stay in the UK.
The Home Office had previously said Maryam who lives in Glasgow and received her first UK visa in 2016, did not meet the criteria for a new spousal visa, and suggested she could safely return to Afghanistan.
But Maryam, a community activist who has spoken out against the Taliban and its approach to women's rights, said she felt threatened and scared of dying if she was forced to return.
