Ahmad (not his real name) was brought to the UK at the age of 10 with his uncle and aunt.

He was evacuated from Kabul during Operation Pitting in 2021 , when 15,000 British nationals and eligible Afghans were evacuated from Afghanistan .

Ahmad ’s family, who are in hiding in Afghanistan , submitted family reunion visa applications to be reunited with their son in February 2023 .

The Home Office refused the application in June this year , saying this was not in breach of their right to a family life.
