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 . We make this order because the Appellant seeks international protection and publishing her identity might create a risk in the even of her return.
              The Appellant is a citizen of Uganda whose date of birth is recorded as 22 September 1974. On 20 June 2019, the Appellant, made application for international protection as a refugee on the basis that she was a lesbian [see answer to question 37 in her substantive interview]. On 30 April 2021 a decision was made to refuse that application. The Appellant appealed to the First tier Tribunal.
              On 31 January 2023 the appeal was heard by First-tier Tribunal Judge Hanes sitting at Taylor House, London, who in a decision dated 12 February 2023 dismissed the appeal on all grounds.
              Not content with that decision the Appellant made application for permission to appeal to the Upper Tribunal with supporting grounds dated 24 February 2023. Though the First-tier Tribunal refused permission, a renewed application to the Upper Tribunal was successful with permission being granted by Upper Tribunal Judge Lane on 20 August 2023.
