Young Bristol City fan's 'hopes have been crushed by cruel' Government system

A foster father who is fighting for the young man he looks after to be allowed to stay in this country has said the system put in place by the Government is ‘cruel’.

John Stokes said he will continue to fight for Samet, who was trafficked into Britain as a child slave when he was a teenage, to be able to start his adult life here. Mr Stokes spoke out after the latest appeal decision by the Home Office came as a ‘crushing blow’ to the family’s hopes that Samet would be allowed to stay.

The Home Office has maintained that it will not comment on the case while legal proceedings are ongoing.
