Woman deported to Singapore despite 27-year marriage

source= BBC

A women married to a British man for 27 years has been deported to Singapore. Irene Clennell was being held in a detention centre in Scotland, and told the BBC she had been sent back to her country of birth without any warning. She had been living in Durham with her husband, and has two British sons, as well as a granddaughter, in the UK. She is believed to have been abroad to care for her parents, this may have invalidated her residential status in the UK. She also told the BBC she was put in a van and taken to the airport from a detention centre in South Lanarkshire (Scotland) on Saturday. She said that she was unable to contact her lawyer and did not have a chance to get any clothes from her home. She also says that she has made repeated attempts - both in Singapore and in the Uk - to re-apply for permission to live with her husband, who is in poor health and she has become his carer.  Mrs Clennell, who had been living in Chester-le-street, was given permeant residence in the UK after her marriage.    

I chose this story as it is extremely unfair that she has been deported, especially as she was given permission to stay in the UK and also the fact that she has a family in the UK and has been living here for 27 years.
