An Iranian refugee who waved a toy gun out of a car window on a night out with friends faces losing his chance of getting British citizenship today under tough new Government rules on criminal migrants.
Mohammed Tawfiqi, 20, hoped to stay in the UK after fleeing his native country four years ago aged 16 to escape 'political persecution'.
But on November 5 last year he was arrested in Liverpool city centre after he was seen hanging out a car window and waving the fake silver gun as his friend drove him past a busy nightclub on Wood Street at 1am.
