Downs Man Facing Beirut Deportation Because Parents Died
A Down’s syndrome man who has lived in Britain for 17 years faces being deported – because his parents died.
Wadih Chourey, 44, moved from Lebanon with his family in 1997 after suffering abuse by gangs in Beirut.
He now lives with one of his two brothers Camil, 42, in East Twickenham.
MP Vince Cable said the move by the Home Office to have him kicked out was “disgraceful”.
He said: “This is a man who cannot cook for himself, who cannot operate a washing machine or use a computer.
“His welfare is completely dependent on his brothers, who clearly provide a loving and caring home for him yet Home Office lawyers suggest there is nothing compelling or exceptional about the case and assume that Mr Chourey could seamlessly reintegrate into Lebanese life as if he never left.”
Colin Marsh, chairman of the local residents’ association, said: “Wadih and Camil are very much part of our community and Camil and his brother Joseph are both respected and admired for their love and care of their brother Wadih.
The Home Office said: “He has appealed so it would be inappropriate to comment .”
Same Difference 
they cant deport dangerous terrorists because they have human rights but vulnerable people are fair game, where is the logic in these policies

They wont deport a Jamaican criminal who suddenly claimed to be gay whilst sitting in a Police van at an airport terminal for his flight home, but they have no conscience in deporting a special needs non criminal guy wholly dependent on his brother who has leave to remain in the UK..
Typical Theresa May & typical Tory heartless policy!
