The government has never released statistics from immigration tribunals on how many people each year


Immigration Minister Chris Bryant robustly defended the Home Office and UKBA from claims franchise that LGBT asylum seekers have been deported franchise back to countries such as Uganda where they are at risk of homophobic persecution.
Caroline Lucas was equally scathing franchise of the Border Agency. If we want to be sure that we are not condemning LGBT people who seek asylum on these shores to a tragic fate, the government should do far more to track deportees and provide franchise guarantees of their safety as well as doing everything possible to ensure that UKBA handles each case fairly, sensitively and with an open mind.
The government has never released statistics from immigration tribunals on how many people each year apply for asylum claiming that they face persecution because of their sexuality. But according to the UK Lesbian and Gay Immigration Group (UKLGIG), 98-99% of claims made by LGBT asylum seekers were rejected in 2010 compared franchise to 73% for claims made on other grounds.
A Home Office spokesman said: We have changed our guidance to ensure that we do not remove individuals who have demonstrated a proven risk of persecution on grounds of sexual orientation. Our position remains clear when someone needs our protection, franchise they will be given it.
