Mrs Arti Kumar and her two sons Ravi and Akash came to the UK in 2007 as asylum seekers. They fled Afghanistan after being attacked by the Taliban.
Mrs Kumar’s daughter was kidnapped by the extremists, and her eldest son Ravi was beaten and left for dead.
Ravi was so severely attacked that he has to see a neurologist who believes a metallic fragment exists in his head which is likely to be a bullet fragment.
The Kumar family’s application to remain in the UK was unsuccessful and have been informed by the UK Border Agency to leave the United Kingdom.
If deported the family will face torture and possibly death.
Please sign this petition to rally for the Kumar family to remain in the UK.

I just saw the counter hit one hundred signatures and my hands are actually shaking because I honestly thought I was just screaming into the void when I started this. It feels like maybe people actually care about Arti and the boys which is just wild to me since I was worried nobody would even read the page.

Common sense please. These people have suffered enough. Stop the deportation now.
My heart breaks for them. Please let them stay here where they are safe and can get the medical care they need.
ABSOLUTELY NOT. The UK needs to show some humanity here. That poor boy has a bullet in his head for gods sake.
This is wrong on so many levels. Hope they can stay.
Are you kidding me? Sending a family back to that mess is basically a death sentence. Keep them safe.
