The Conservative MP says Amin is a "soft target"

Julian Brazier, Conservative MP for Canterbury and Whitstable, has asked the minister of state to look it.

Amin Buratee, 18, faces a return to his native Afghanistan this week because the government says it is safe for him to return there.

Mr Brazier said the government had picked on a "soft target".

He is just six months from completing his A-Levels and all the male members of his family have been killed MP Julian Brazier

"This is just one example of the government going for soft targets when they should be going for Albanian-controlled prostitution and organised crime in London.

"We need a firm immigration policy and I'm in favour of returning failed asylum seekers (to their own countries) but we should allow Amin to finish his exams," he said.

"He is just six months from completing his A-Levels and all the male members of his family have been killed."

The Whitstable student, who has been studying at Canterbury High School, said he feared for his life when he moved to the UK two years ago.

Amin Buratee's father, brother and uncle have been killed

He fled after his uncle and brother were killed by the Taleban.

He had since been told by the Home Office that his father had also been killed.

"I'm very, very ashamed to be an English person, I think it's disgraceful he's been sent back, he's such a brilliant person, " Amin's friend Katie Smith told the BBC's South East Today on Thursday.

Another pupil from Afghanistan, Essa Jamai, was in the house when Amin was taken.

'Bad memory'

"I thought in another two, three months they come to me. Everyone was frightened.

"We don't want to go back home, we have a bad memory of Afghanistan."

Despite the violence in Afghanistan, the Home Office says the country is getting safer, and is sending back people who do not qualify for asylum.

Amin is being held at the Dover Removal Centre.

The Home Service would not comment on a particular case, but issued a blanket statement.
