The man’s lawyers were able to get a doctor to testify that the migrant would likely kill himself if he was deported.
They also claimed that he would be punished in his home country for evading military service.
As a result, the migrant will remain in the UK despite a security report concluding that the man poses a significant risk to public safety.
Conservative MP Nigel Mills commented
“This man committed a serious criminal offence and should be nowhere near this country.”
He added,
“If he was concerned about losing mental health treatment or being arrested for fleeing the draft, he should have thought about that before he committed the crime.”
“This decision is another sign the tribunal system is deeply out of touch with the rest of Britain,” Mills further urged.
This is far from an isolated case.
Last year, a migrant rapist concluded to be a significant danger to women was allowed to stay in the UK after
he argued that the medicines he was receiving to treat his mental health would not be available in Gambia.
