Secretary of State for the Home Department | RESPONDENT |
'It remains the case that the respondent proposes to return the appellant to Iraq
as a failed asylum seeker and the objective evidence shows that he would inevitably face risk of detention and consequently ill-treatment for this reason alone were he to be returned to any part of
Iraq
under the control of the government of Saddam Hussein.'
It is not in dispute that the appellant left the country illegally.
'40% of internally displaced persons in the region under Kurdish administrant live in settlements with standards of water and electricity supplies, sanitation, drainage and road access that were below average for the area. Access to food, education and health care were however acceptable. Due to the increasing number of internally displaced in the north, several international observers reported in December 2000 that newcomers were becoming less welcome by local authorities.'
'The situation of IDP is of great concern in Northern Iraq
. Most of them including widows and children live under precarious conditions in public buildings and provisional shelter, just a few miles south, Sulaymaniyya, in makeshift tents, with open pits for waste disposal, displaced Kurdish families or fractions of family survive on UN rations.'
(a) he would be at disadvantage by reason of his lack of command of the Kurdish language, that such disadvantage would be reflected in particular in employment and access to other facilities,
(b) that he would in all probability end up in a refugee camp where the conditions are, as Mr Jackson rightly points out 'abominable' which is underlined by the Norwegian report from which we have quoted above
(c) that he has no supportive family, that he would be on his own and that possibly he has some medical or psychological problems which in the absence of supportive family would be emphasised.
