GB News: Illegal migrant claims she can't be deported to Grenada as her husband won't be able to cope with the spicy food
Lynthia Calliste, a 35-year-old illegal migrant from Grenada, is contesting her deportation from the UK. She claims her Latvian husband, Konstantin Vinakovs, would struggle with the heat and spicy food in Grenada, arguing that separation would violate their right to family life under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
Calliste overstayed her visitor visa since 2018 and married Vinakovs in 2022. A tribunal previously rejected her claims, stating there was no evidence that the Grenadian climate would be particularly challenging for her husband. Calliste is currently appealing the decision.
