Student Deportation to Mauritius Halted

Student Yashika Bageerathi who faced deportation to Mauritius without her family will not be removed today as planned.

The 19-year-old had been told she would be flown back at 5pm on Mother's Day.

Before the latest reprieve, Miss Bageerathi, who is being held at Yarl's Wood immigration detention centre in Bedfordshire, told Sky News she wanted to be with her mum.

There has been a growing campaign against her deportation led by her school, and backed by MP David Burrowes, who represents Enfield Southgate.

More than 40 people gathered outside Parliament on Saturday afternoon to protest over her removal, and on online petition has received almost 155,000 signatures.

Lawyers were due to make a last-ditch legal bid to prevent the deportation on Sunday.

Miss Bageerathi came to the UK in 2011 with her mother and two younger siblings to escape alleged physical abuse by a relative, and claimed asylum in the summer of 2013.

She had been attending the Oasis Academy Hadley school, where she was described as a first-class student, until she was detained at Yarl's Wood on March 19.

Sky's Clare Fallon said Miss Bageerathi was informed she would not be on the Sunday flight from Heathrow, late on Saturday night, but was not told the reason why.

Home Secretary Theresa May has said it would not be appropriate to "interfere" with the case.
