Facing cancer alone: Immigration callously rejects caring son’s visa application

A woman with limited vision has been denied a visit from her children as she battles life-threatening cervical cancer.
Despite letters from Farhat’s GP, oncologist and psychologist describing her condition, the application of one of her sons, the Beirut-based political journalist Hussein El Hajj Hassan, has been denied on the basis there was no proof of the exceptional circumstances.
Disabled and alone In Denmark, Farhat is regarded as disabled, as she only has three percent vision in her eyes.
