Bilal Fawaz

Personal life For more than a decade, the British authorities have tried to deport Fawaz. He applied and appealed for extended leave; he also applied for a spousal visa; and in one case asked to be registered as stateless person. All these requests were turned down by the Home Office, which considers his presence in the UK undesirable. In 2017, they attempted to deport him through a programme called Operation Nexus, a joint initiative between UK police forces and immigration enforcement. and after a public outcry and a petition demanding his release with 117,000 signatures collected. The Labour MP for Hayes and Harlington John McDonnell and England Boxing both appealed to the authorities on the boxer's behalf. He has to sign-in weekly with the immigration authorities.
