A judge rejects the asylum appeal of Karam Majdi, a 27-year-old convicted of raping a 14-year-old girl, and orders him to leave Britain. After serving a jail term for the rape, Majdi argues he cannot be returned to Egypt.
In the claim presented during his asylum case, Majdi says he would face persecution because he is bisexual. The court rules that he is not bisexual and therefore does not meet the grounds for asylum protection based on that assertion. The decision results in a deportation order, requiring him to leave the UK.
The reporting provided here focuses on the judge’s determination regarding Majdi’s asserted sexuality and its impact on the asylum outcome, linking the asylum reasoning directly to the legal assessment made in court after his criminal conviction. No other angles or additional sources are included in the material provided.
