Visa appeal Jenrick 'asked Home Office about student'

Dana Abu Qamar, 20, a law student who led the Friends of Palestine society at Manchester University, was stripped of her visa in 2023 after speaking at a university demonstration on Gaza's historical resistance to Israel's "oppressive regime" and in a subsequent interview with Sky News.

On 1 December, the government revoked her visa on the assertion that her presence in the UK was "not conducive to the public good".

Disclosed emails reveal a member of Jenrick's team wrote to Home Office officials saying the then minister was interested in "finding out about Dana Abuqamar" and if it would be "possible to revoke her student visa", the Guardian understands.
