What the petition asks
In 2012 Walid fled Afghanistan to the UK after his Grandfather was beheaded. Walid was threatened with the same fate. Since then he has been educated and completed an apprenticeship here. He was Highly Commended at the Youth Build UK awards that took place in Parliament in 2016.
At the age of 18 the UK Government said he should be sent back to Kabul, Afghanistan. Walid has no family or support in Afghanistan and his life will certainly be danger. Kabul is an extremely dangerous place with the Foreign Office currently advising against all but essential travel & in some areas they advise against all travel.
His story has been covered by the BBC,various radio stations & newspapers.
