A HOME OFFICE attempt to have a Palestinian student thrown out of Britain after she joined protests over Gaza has been declared unlawful.

The landmark ruling in favour of Dana Abu Qamar, 20, who is a student in Manchester, was made by the immigration and asylum tribunal in Manchester.

Ms Abu Qamar’s visa to study in Britain was revoked in December 2023 after she took part in pro-Palestine protests in Manchester and was heard to condemn “Israeli apartheid” while voicing support for Palestinian resistance.
