One of Vinita’s cases was featured on BBC3 documentary “Don’t Deport Me, I’m British” It is an emotionally charged documentary following the stories of three young men who came to Britain as children, have grown up her and feel British. But upon becoming adults, these men discover that they are no longer welcomed in the UK by the British Government.

Vinita’s client is 20 year old Bashir, who has lived in Cardiff for eleven years, but is now fighting deportation to Afghanistan. Bashir could face deportation despite having not been to Afghanistan since he was aged nine and he witnessed his father’s murder by the Taliban. Vinita is striving to show that Bashir has become too westernised to live safely in Afghanistan. Unfortunately, Vinita had to tell Bashir, or “Bash”, that his case had been refused by the Home Office, as they did not accept that Bash was westernised with a settled home life in Cardiff. Bash’s case is still ongoing.
