Over half
of appeals against Home Office asylum decisions have been successful, Sky News
has discovered.
One of
those included a convicted sex offender was allowed to stay in the UK because a
judge agreed with lawyers that he would be at risk of "mob violence"
in Afghanistan for his crimes.
In the next
instalment of our Faultlines series, we look at the country's asylum crisis.
Community
correspondent Becky Johnson reports from Hull, where hundreds of failed asylum
seekers are still living in Britain.
In response
to our report a Home Office spokesperson said: “We stand firm on our
longstanding policy that those without a right to stay in the UK will be
removed.
"Our
Illegal Migration Act makes this possible, as people who enter the UK illegally
will have their asylum claims and human rights claims declared inadmissible,
and they will not be able to make a life here.
“Each
asylum application is individually assessed, including decisions on removal of
individuals. Where people have previously been refused asylum in the UK, a
fresh asylum claim can be made through legal representation.”
