These are the voices of gay people in Afghanistan, fleeing from the Taliban. In 20 years of journalism I have never interviewed people in such utter peril, who know they are going to be murdered. Hear them. Help them. They're begging you. inews.co.uk/news/world/lgbt-…

Sheku Kamara ‘had a charming and articulate advocacy style that very few officers, judges and prosecutors had come across before’. Rest in peace my brother, you will be missed greatly. lawgazette.co.uk/people/obit…

JR process still worth it. HO refused to implement the FtT decision & threatened our client via his local MP with deportation. Thanks to GLD lawyer,LTR was granted before appearing before judge. Saved unnecessary cost & time. Thanks to @SinnKandiah @DeborahRevill & @Oliveajames
