Summary at a Glance

Ms Smeaton ruled he has a right to a family life, a right to life, and right to be protected from torture under the European Court of Human Rights.

Deputy Upper Tribunal Judge Jessica Smeaton, above, ruled he can remain for his own protection, despite no evidence he would actually be at risk.

It comes a week after news of the highly controversial decision to let a family from Gaza stay in Britain, with the ECHR also being cited.

A BOLIVIAN man who owes money to a drugs gang back home was allowed to stay in the UK.

The Home Office said the persecution fears did not meet Refugee Convention criteria.
