Almost two years after he fled to the UK from Kabul following an attempt on his life by the Taliban, Mohammad Seddeqi, 32, a former World Bank and UK Department for International Development contract worker, is sleeping on the streets outside Victoria station in London.
He was evicted from a Home Office-funded hotel at the start of May and has been unable to find alternative accommodation. Despite being highly educated and fluent in English, he says he has found the process of building a new life in the UK extremely challenging, and is dismayed by the lack of available support.
