In 2014, the Home Office wrongly accused tens of thousands of intl students of cheating on an English test. We are fighting to get our future back.

The Home Office has since not apologised and as Webber states, it exemplifies ‘the treatment of international students, particularly those from the Global South, as a rightless cohort, that can be accepted or rejected at will’

We are waiting for the outcome of an appeal case, which we are told is “imminent”. Once we have that, the Home Secretary has said she will make an announcement

This week, I pressed Home Office ministers to get on with delivering the "resolution" promised by the Home Secretary over a year ago for overseas students falsely accused of cheating in English language tests @ToeicV @MigrantVoiceUK

As Ilford South MP I met many constituent students whose lives were ruined by the Home Office, ETS and TOEIC. I made representations and said in Parliament that it was a Conservative/Lib Dem scandal bigger than Windrush. Good to see @BBCNewsnight @stephenctimms still pursuing. – at Ilford, London

Another instance where appalling decisions were made on the basis of flakey computer records. I've been working on these cases for 6 years! #TOEIC, #Newsnight, @MigrantVoiceUK, @stephenctimms, @ukhomeoffice, #PostOfficeScandal. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-60264106

‘more than 3700 people had won their cases. Immigration barrister Paul Turner says: "I think the gov’t will die in a ditch defending ETS's data. But the courts are finding that an awful lot of people did not cheat."’ bbc.co.uk/news/uk-60264106 @MigrantVoiceUK @ToeicV #MyFutureBack

I'm delighted to see that @BBCNewsnight is revisiting the issues around the Toeic English Language testing scandal. I covered the issue at length in this @FTMag piece three years ago: ft.com/content/11663990-1924…

So much #solidarity to the brave students who've kept up their fight for justice.
Xenophobia, distrust, and exploitation are built into UK visa system. Stand with students as they fight back.

Nomi was locked up for 125 days after being arrested by Home Office enforcement officers in 2014.
They said he cheated on an English language test which he took to obtain a visa.
But #Newsnight has found the evidence used to detain him and deport 2,500 others was flawed

Many of the issues remain unresolved. I salute the efforts of @stephenctimms, @MigrantVoiceUK and @ToeicV to keep the issue in the public eye and hope the Home Office will soon finally address this.

The excellent (& modest) @RKWinvisibleman sharing the challenges of engaging editors who (like everyone) also come with paradigm perspectives that may also need to be challenged about #migrants #migration (kudos on excellent @ToeicV stories!) #InternationalMigrantsDay #MyDayMySay
