The First-tier Tribunal did not make any anonymity order pursuant to Rule 13 of the Tribunal Procedure (First-tier Tribunal) (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) Rules 2014. No anonymity order was sought on the claimant's behalf and I do not consider it necessary to make an anonymity order in the Upper Tribunal.

The Secretary of State appeals with permission against the decision of the First-tier Tribunal which allowed the claimant's appeal against the Secretary of State's decision to revoke his protection status pursuant to Section 82(1)(c) of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002.

The facts so far as material appear to be as follows. The claimant received refugee protection on the basis that he is a stateless Kuwaiti Bidoon. He arrived in the United Kingdom on 14 th March 2013 and asylum was granted to him after an appeal on 24 th June 2013.

However, after the grant of asylum, by use of the biodata information provided by the claimant, it came to light that before he came to the United Kingdom, the claimant had made two United States visa applications in Iraq using an Iraqi passport in the name of Gaser Alhadidi, on 28 th May 2012 and 16 th January 2013.

The First-tier Tribunal heard oral evidence and expert evidence as to the existence of false Iraqi passports in general, although not this one in particular. The claimant's oral evidence was that he put himself in the hands of an agent, and that he did as the agent told him, including, on 2 occasions, his giving fingerprints at the United States Embassy in Baghdad on the basis of the Alhadidi identity, which was false, and a false Iraqi passport, obtained by the agent, in the same name.
