| Lewin Williams facing deportation from Britain. |
A 74-year-old man, Lewin Williams, is fighting to avoid deportation from Britain on grounds that he is battling cancer and will die if he is forced to go back to Jamaica, where he won't be able to afford life-saving treatment.
Williams has been living in Birmingham since 2003, after overstaying his visitor's visa which expired in June 2004, saying he was under the impression that he had settled status, the Mirror Online reported.
He said he was first diagnosed with myeloma, a type of blood cancer, in 2019 and has been battling the illness. He has been in and out of hospital ever since whilst undergoing chemotherapy.
The news outlet quoted Williams, who lives in Acocks Green, as saying he faces being sent back to Jamaica, where he has no family and cannot afford medical expenses, adding: “I can't pay for the treatment, and if the Home Office sends me back to Jamaica I will die because I can't afford it. more
