For the Appellant: Mr Matthew Moriarty of Counsel, instructed by Milestone Solicitors
Pursuant to rule 14 of the Tribunal Procedure (Upper Tribunal) Rules 2008, the appellant has been granted anonymity, and is to be referred to in these proceedings by the initials I X. No-one shall publish or reveal any information, including the name or address of the appellant, likely to lead members of the public to identify the appellant.
             The appellant challenges the decision of the First-tier Tribunal dismissing his appeal against the respondent's decision on 2 March 2021 to refuse him international protection pursuant to the Refugee Convention or leave to remain on human rights grounds. The respondent considered that he had committed a serious non-political crime in Albania (the murder of his wife) and that he was excluded from refugee status pursuant to Article 1F(b) of the Refugee Convention.
             The appellant is a citizen of Albania and claims to be involved in a blood feud: he says that his wife's family have told him that they want to kill him and have tried to harm his brother in Albania, on three occasions, because the appellant was not available to them. There have been no killings apart from that of the appellant's wife.
             This appeal has now been heard twice in the First-tier Tribunal. The current appeal is against the decision of Judge Young-Harry on 18 September 2023.
