Kayleigh Fraser, 34, has been told she won’t get her passport back for at least seven days
Six immigration officers turned up at her door on Tuesday, insisting she had violated her visa conditions. Two tried to barge into her home to grab her passport. Speaking about the confrontation with immigration officers, she said: ‘They accosted me in the street and were outside my house for about 40 minutes, but they couldn’t even tell me what I had done wrong.‘They kept saying I had violated the terms of my visa, but they didn’t even know what visa I was on until they finally got hold of my passport. I didn’t feel safe.’
Activist lawyer Nagananda Kodituwakku, general secretary of the Vinivida Foundation, has been in touch with her to help her case.
