Yashika Bageerathi 'To Be Deported Tonight'

Mauritian student Yashika Bageerathi is being driven to Heathrow and will be deported tonight, her school has told Sky News.

The 19-year-old's headteacher Lynne Dawes has said her pupil - whose removal from Britain has sparked a national debate - is due to be deported at 9pm.

A spokesman for Ms Bageerathi's school, Oasis Academy Hadley, in Enfield, north London said she was "very distressed and worried".

She is being taken from Yarl's Wood Immigration Removal Centre in Bedfordshire to Heathrow, where she is expected to be put on an Air Mauritius flight at 9pm.

The school spokesman said: "She is on her way in the van but I really hope we can keep her here.

"We're encouraging everyone to tweet Air Mauritius and to phone them to stop this."

Ms Bageerathi received a last-minute reprieve from deportation last month after British Airways refused to fly her home.

The campaign to keep her in the UK has drawn more than 175,000 signatures to an e-petition in support of the promising maths student who is due to sit A-level exams. 

Campaigners are angry that the 19-year-old is being separated from her mother, who is facing deportation at a later date.

Both their asylum cases - claiming they are fleeing a violent relative - have failed.

James Brokenshire, the immigration minister, told MPs he would intervene only in "exceptional" cases - and this one did not fall into that category.

He told MPs that her case had been through the proper legal process and resulted in a Home Office decision that she does not need protection from violence or persecution.
