So, my name is Syeda Akbar and I’m mother of two children. I came to UK in July 2013, facing persecution back home. A fatwa was issued. That’s a religious ruling against me. I was accused for something I never did, and I had a threat that my boys would be taken away because of the Islamic laws, so I came to UK on a visit visa for six months. My sister, she was studying here. She was doing her degree from here, and I got an invitation from her, so the plan of the family was that I’ll just stay away for some time from all this, whatever was happening.
