Home Office 'has ignored two court orders' demanding asylum-seeker be returned to Britain

The Home Office has ignored two court orders demanding the return of a terrified asylum-seeker who was deported to Afghanistan this week and fears he will be beheaded by the Taliban. 

Samim Bigzad, 22, was still holed up in a hotel room in Kabul yesterday after he was deported on Tuesday despite a last-minute ruling from the High Court ordering his return to Britain.

Mr Bigzad had been living in Margate, Kent, where he had cared for his father who suffers from PTSD after escaping torture by the Taliban. He claims he is a prime target for the Taliban because he worked in construction for the Afghan government and US companies before coming to Britain.
