Unless the Upper Tribunal or a Court directs otherwise, no report of these proceedings or any form of publication thereof shall directly or indirectly identify the appellant in this determination identified as JS. This direction applies to, amongst others, all parties. Any failure to comply with this direction could give rise to contempt of court proceedings.
That order and reasons were served on JS on 9 th February 2016. His solicitors lodged an appeal on 8 th July 2016 - out of time. Time was extended and the appeal admitted (RP/00089/2016).
Whilst in detention JS stated that he feared return to Uganda because of his sexuality - he claimed to have been in a secret relationship with a man. That claim was refused for reasons set out in a letter dated 12 th September 2016. He appealed that decision in time (PA/12889/2016).
For reasons set out in a decision promulgated on 22 nd May 2017, First-tier Tribunal Judge R Sullivan dismissed both appeals.
(i) On arrival in the UK on 26 May 2006, JS was granted leave to enter as a refugee. He was recognised as a refugee because of his mother's history, her status as a refugee and his relationship to her.
