Clear us of false cheating accusation, say international students
Students wrongly accused of cheating protest in 2020

CAMPAIGNERS and students whose lives were ruined after they were accused of cheating in an English test are demanding that ministers to “put an end to this injustice,” after a damning new investigation. 

More than 2,500 international students were deported and at least 7,200 more forced to leave Britain after being accused of cheating in an English language exam that they were required to sit as part of their visa application process. 

Many say that they were wrongly accused and have been fighting to clear their names after years of hardship.
