Father stuck in Turkey applies for judicial review of Home Office’s handling of his case

Siyabonga Twala, who has a British son, was barred from returning to UK a year ago and remains in limbo in Ankara

A man who remains stuck in Turkey a year after he was barred from returning to the UK with his British son has applied for a judicial review of the Home Office’s handling of his case.

Siyabonga Twala has been in limbo in Ankara ever since he was blocked from boarding a flight back to Manchester last December. His son, Mason, nine, and his parents and siblings had to return home without him.
