  Azim Ansari, 18, who is currently studying at Oxford University, says it is not safe for him to go back [to Afghanistan].
  
  Mr Ansari fled the Taliban with his brother Wali, who lives in Bristol, in 2001. He was allowed to stay in the UK until the end of 2003.

  
  Heya.
  
  This is probably slightly off-top for the thread - but Azim Ansari's (mentioned earlier in this thread) has had recent appeals to stay in the UK refused, and he currently faces deportation after March 13th - even though it is not safe for him to return to Arghanistan and even though he is currently well into an engineering degree at Oxford University.
  
  A website in support of the campaign to Keep Azim In Oxford and allow him to finish his degree has been set up , including an online petition at http://www.KeepAzimInOxford.org.uk/petition/
  
  You can also find more information on Azim's campaign through that site - as well as links to press coverage of his Asylum case.
  
  Please do take a look at the site and sign the petition if you can.
  
  Many thanks.
