Five appellants challenged a determination of the Upper Tribunal dismissing their several appeals against the decision of the Secretary of State removing them from the United Kingdom. All six suffer from serious medical conditions which are being effectively treated in this country. Five of them, some more certainly than others, would be at risk of a very early death if returned to their home States. In the sixth case the evidence suggests a somewhat longer period. They challenge the removal decisions as being repugnant to their rights guaranteed by Articles 3 and 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
