(National-UAE) An asylum seeker who UK spies believe to be an ISIS supporter has won the right to remain in Britain after judges ruled he is not a threat to national security.
The 30-year-old Iranian Kurd, who can’t be named for legal reasons, first arrived in Britain on the back of a lorry in 2016 and was granted refugee status.
In 2020, he travelled to see family in Iraqi Kurdistan. The government claims he then re-entered Iran resulting in his refugee status being revoked and being unable to fly back to the UK.
The man then managed to get back into the UK on a small boat from France in March 2021 and claimed asylum for a second time, which was refused by then-home secretary Priti Patel, who argued he was a risk to national security.
