Derby Evening Telegraph publishes video plea

By Press Gazette

The Derby Evening Telegraph has posted a video on its website of a woman pleading for her partner to be allowed to stay in the country.

Her Iranian partner is the father of her 18-month-old son, and her unborn baby is due in three weeks.

The Northcliffe paper has published the woman's full story and filmed her plea to the immigration minister, which had been sent to the Home Office on DVD.

The woman's partner is a former member of the army in Iran, and fears that having left in such circumstances his safety can not be assured if he goes back.
