Outer House, Court of Session – The petitioner, from Afghanistan, sought asylum. The respondent decided to refuse the claim and remove the appellant to Afghanistan. He appealed to the First-tier tribunal on the grounds that he had a genuine fear of persecution if he were returned to Afghanistan, that he was a refugee and that his rights in terms of articles 2 and 3 of the Human Rights Convention would be breached if he were returned to Afghanistan.
