Stranded in Turkey since being barred from boarding a flight to Britain more than two months ago, Siyabonga Twala spent his 34th birthday on Saturday away from his son and family in an unfamiliar city.
The British government's immigration policy has come under global scrutiny in recent days after drawing criticism for a new law that would bar the entry of asylum seekers who arrive in the country on small boats across the English Channel. Lawyers and charities said the plans would breach the UN convention on refugees."At that time I felt as if my whole world had ended. I felt as if I had just committed another crime," Twala said.
After receiving a family court order for the part-time custody of his son, Twala said he believed he could travel outside the country. He said he tried to go the British Embassy in Ankara but was turned away and his representative was told by the Home Office he had left the country voluntarily.
