A FORMER refugee from Syria who fled to Scotland almost 10 years ago has launched a petition to allow her dying father to come to Scotland so they can be reunited before it is too late.
Violet Hejazi says her father Ali has been hiding in various places since they left their home in northern Syria when it was ravaged by civil war. She lost her mother and set off on a series of dangerous journeys to get to “safe Scotland” at the age of 16.
