Asma Akhtar
A British woman’s struggle to leave Pakistan with all four of her children.

Asma Akhtar is a British woman who for two years was unable to return to the UK from Pakistan with her four children, because she was not able to get hold of their passports. She was involved in a custody battle with her husband. Tragically, two of the children died last year in a fire. Now Asma is back in the UK – and we’ll be finding out why she feels the Foreign and Commonwealth Office could have done more to ensure the safe return of the entire family.
