Abdul is a resident of Leicester and is currently being held in Morton Hall Detention Centre, Lincolnshire. He is awaiting deportation to Afghanistan.

Here's his story in brief:

- Abdul fled Afghanistan as a teenager to avoid the option of being either press-ganged into the Taliban or shot
- His father was Russian and all his family were consequently murdered in connection with this
- He arrived in the UK six years ago, when still a minor
- He now knows no one in Afghanistan, would be unable to cope and would be in extreme danger there
- He suffers from post-traumatic stress syndrome and has other medical problems
- He has made many friends in Leicester, helps out with Leicester City of Sanctuary based at the Cathedral and participates in the local anti-racist football team, FC Kolektivo Victoria
- He is an asset to his local community
