An advocate for women's rights and a strong opposer of the Taliban faces being sent back to Afghanistan after the Home Office refused to renew her visa.
Maryam Amiri, who lives in Glasgow, feels her life would be put at risk if she was to return to her home country, seven years after arriving to the UK on a spousal visa.
She is married to a man who worked for the British forces and is due to start a university course in September - but fears she will miss out on the opportunity which she has dreamed about for years.
