The applicant arrived illegally from Turkey and claimed asylum. She said that she had been involved in demonstrating on Kurdish issues, and had been interrogated. On failure of that claim she was ordered to be removed. She appealed saying that the AIT’s conclusion as to the risks to her had been based on no evidence at all.
Held: The appeal failed. The hearing had been effectively a re-determination, and the claimant had not given evidence to counter the conclusion reached.
