The claimant and her daughter sought asylum. She had fled Russia saying that she was in fear after refusing to sign medical certificates which would protect the sons of powerful Russians from conscription. The judge had criticised the continued involvement of the claimant in activities which put her at risk. That criticism had been built on by the AIT. That was wrong. The applicants might be encouraged to add these as additional grounds of appeal.
