A mother and daughter whose lives were ripped apart by war have had an emotional reunion in Scotland after being separated for 10 years.
A MOTHER and daughter whose lives were ripped apart by war have had an emotional reunion inOur sister title The National exclusively revealed a year ago how a Glasgow immigration lawyer had taken the case of the two women – whom we are calling Samja, 54, and her 39-year-old daughter Jalila to protect their identities – to the First-tier Tribunal of the Immigration and Asylum Chamber.
Her home was destroyed in the conflict, and she had spent 10 years living in refugee camps while her daughter had to cope with the death of her own husband and separation from her mother. We illustrated our first story with an image of Samja sitting outside the tin hut she called home in a Syrian refugee camp.
“It was they who said that family reunion is a safe passage. Yet it is the same government that, despite opposition, continues to make it increasingly harder for family members to be reunited.”
