According to , centenarian Bibihal Uzbeki is due to be sent back to her home in Afghanistan.
One of the world’s oldest asylum seekers, Ms Uzbeki fled the northern Afghan city of Kunduz when the Taliban captured it.
She made her way to Europe mostly on foot with her family in October 2015, in an arduous journey where she had to be carried some of the way on the backs of her son and grandson.
