UK Home Office Guideline: Afghan gay asylum-seekers expected to conceal their sexual orientation to avoid persecution when sent back
The UK Home Office published a new guideline on the situation of LGBTI persons in Afghanistan. The guideline provides specific country of origin information and policy guidance to Home Office decision makers handling asylum claims. Despite recognising that homosexuality is criminalised in Afghanistan and that LGBT people are ostracised by their families and by public authorities, the guideline also defends that “a practising gay man who, on return to Kabul, would not attract or seek to cause public outrage, would not face a real risk of persecution”.
