Pursuant to rule 14 of the Tribunal Procedure (Upper Tribunal) Rules 2008, the appellant is granted anonymity.
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. Failure to comply with this order could amount to a contempt of court .
            The appellant has been granted permission to appeal against the decision of First-tier Tribunal Judge Lester promulgated on 28 November 2023 ("the Decision"). By the Decision, Judge Lester dismissed the appellant's appeal against the decision of the respondent to refuse to recognise him as a political refugee.
            In his final detention in 2010, he was detained for nearly two months, during which period he was subjected to interrogation and torture. Dr Kane had diagnosed that he was suffering from PTSD, with his symptoms starting after this period in detention.
            The appellant's appeal came before Judge Lester sitting at Columbus House, Newport, on 6 November 2023. Both parties were legally represented. In addition to the evidence cited in the ASA, the appellant relied upon a Country Expert Report from Dr Bennett-Jones, dated 23 July 2023, and the oral evidence of a supporting witness, Mr MH, whose witness statement was dated 25 October 2023.
