AN IRAQI woman is set to be reunited with her son in England after more than 18 months apart, having won a legal battle to be allowed back into the country.

The woman, who is in her twenties, told how her husband, in his seventies, had taken her travel documents and left her stranded in Iraq in late 2016 after they had gone there to visit relatives.

She said her husband had taken their son, now three, home to Birmingham and that Home Office officials had refused to let her re-enter Britain.
