A UK judge rules that a 25-year-old man from Iraq can remain in Britain because of the risk he would face if he were returned. The case centres on his family’s history and his father’s role in the former Saddam Hussein military. According to the report, the man fled Iraq when he was five after his uncle was kidnapped. The family later receives death threats, prompting him to leave the country. The judge determines that the man could be killed in Iraq due to his father’s reputation.
