deeply out of touch
A convicted child rapist from Eritrea, who was facing deportation from the UK, successfully argued in a tribunal that his mental health would be at risk if he was sent back home.
The man, whose identity was kept secret, was convicted a decade ago of raping a teenage girl.
He claimed that he would not receive treatment for depression and PTSD in Eritrea and could be punished for evading compulsory military service.
Additionally, there were concerns that he might commit suicide.
The tribunal granted the man's appeal and prevented his deportation.
A migrant, who had served his prison term and was due for deportation under a 2014 order, was granted a reprieve despite a government report finding that he posed a "medium" risk to public safety.
MP Nigel Mills criticized the decision, stating that the man had committed a serious crime and should not be in the country.
Mills argued that the case highlighted a larger issue with the UK's tribunal system, which he considered "out of touch" with the general population.
Last year, a judge in Scotland prevented the deportation of an illegal migrant from Gambia who had attacked a woman due to concerns over his access to proper medical care if he was sent back to West Africa.
In a separate case, an Afghan migrant, who had been convicted of exposing himself in public, was granted refugee status in the UK after lawyers argued that such behavior would put him at risk of physical violence in his home country.
