Subramanyam Vedam, an Indian-origin man who spent 43 years in a US prison for a murder he did not commit, now faces deportation. His conviction was overturned after new evidence proved his innocence. Vedam, 64, was preparing to reunite with his family when US authorities took him into federal custody over a 1999 deportation order. He legally came to the US as a baby. His lawyers are fighting to stop his deportation, arguing that decades of wrongful imprisonment should outweigh an old drug conviction. Vedam remains in an immigration detention centre as the legal process continues. (PC: X)
