Sarmed Ozam, a 24-year-old Iraqi Chaldean Christian forced to flee Mosul by IS, has appealed to the Prince of Wales for help with his failed asylum application. The Home Office rejected his bid for safety and told him to ‘go to Baghdad’. Mr Ozam said, ‘I can't go back to Iraq, I will be killed there. If I go there I would be a number in the subtitles of the news, no one would care about another one on the list of killed people. I would be left dead in the street for the animals.’ At an Advent reception hosted by Cardinal Vincent Nichols, Mr Ozam told Prince Charles how his family had left the besieged area after militants left them with nothing. He thinks that the heir to the throne believes his personal story was really important. 'Prince Charles promised to pray for me’, he said.
