An Albanian mother of three children, one of whom is a newborn, has become the first woman to be deported from the UK to her country of origin to serve her sentence.
Amid massive anti-immigration protests and a general sense of growing racism towards what right-wing British extremists call an “invasion”, the authorities in the country have decided to show their “muscle” by deporting the Albanian mother, who will now have to leave her children and newborn, to serve a 4-month sentence in Pojska prison in Pogradec.
Her crime is that a short time ago, she entered Britain using a forged Romanian passport.
The prosecutors and the court have been ruthless, not considering any circumstances in her request not to be deported.
She studied computer engineering in Albania, where she graduated in 2019, before moving to the UK to be with her partner, whom she had met in 2018. “I have not had an official marriage with my husband, but we consider ourselves married because we have lived together since 2019 and have children together,” she told the court, The Telegraph newspaper reports .
“I was still at university, so I finished my studies before coming to join my husband. I came to the UK very soon after I graduated. I have a big family in Albania and I get on well with them, but my life is in the UK. I have settled in the UK with my husband and children. I couldn’t bear the idea of ??being separated from them.
"My family is very embarrassed about this case as I am not from the type of family that gets into trouble. Before this criminal offence I had no convictions in Albania or the UK."
