Abdul has fled his home country and arrived in the UK seeking asylum. He is a gay man in his early twenties, and his family in his home country and the extended family in the UK do not accept his sexuality. Abdul feels that he cannot return to his home country as his life there would be in danger, from his own family and also from groups within society who enforce laws against same sex relationships.
His asylum claim was rejected, as the Home Office dispute that he would be in danger if her were to return to his home country and they also dispute the evidence he provided that he is gay. His application is further complicated because he was found working in the UK without the legal status to do so.
Abdul is now homeless and is showing signs of being physically unwell.
