Taliban commander's nephew granted asylum in UK can be joined by SEVEN family members even though none can speak English, judge rules
A Taliban commander’s nephew granted refugee status in Britain can be joined by seven family members currently living in Turkey, an immigration judge has ruled. None of them speak English, and a tribunal accepted they would place 'a significant burden upon the public purse' if they were allowed to move to the UK. But the relatives - the man's parents, three sisters, a niece and nephew - have 'no options' and are unable to return to Afghanistan, a judgement said.
