They thought they would be safe here – a separated close family all together at last and far from war-torn Syria.
Nour Norris had come to the UK to marry her British boyfriend in 1997 and had persuaded big sister Khaola Saleem to follow five years later.
And in 2014 Nour’s happiness was complete when Khaola’s married daughter Raneem, her niece, fled their troubled homeland in 2014 and joined them in Birmingham with her husband.
But they weren’t safe at all. And for mum-of-four Nour, a nightmare was about to begin. One with no ending, thanks to an uncaring police force.
