We are pleased to confirm that the Home Office has withdrawn its refusal decision in respect of an Iranian national, following the Appeal Skeleton Argument prepared by Sonya Kalyan.
This was a post-NABA claim, in which the Home Office had already accepted a number of factors, leaving credibility as the sole issue.
In the Skeleton Argument, Sonya addressed:
- Past persecution at the hands of the morality police, including detention and mistreatment.
- Political activity during the nationwide protests following Mahsa Amini’s death, including participation in demonstrations, distribution of leaflets, and witnessing the arrest of a fellow protestor.
- Risk factors on return: Kurdish ethnicity, illegal exit, and known political profile.
- Relevant country guidance and case law including SSH and HR (Iran), HB (Kurds) Iran, and BA (Demonstrators in Britain).
The Home Office withdrew its decision prior to hearing.
If you require a detailed Appeal Skeleton Argument from one of our Immigration Specialist Counsel, please contact our clerks.
We accept instructions on both a private and controlled legal representation basis.
