In this week’s NLJ crime brief, David Walbank KC covers the deportation of convicted criminals and persecution of LGBTQ individuals in foreign states.
He looks in particular at the case of SC, a man who came to the UK aged ten years old after his mother fled severe homophobic persecution in Jamaica. The case was recently heard at the Supreme Court.
Walbank writes: ‘The treatment of those who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or nonbinary arises with increasing frequency in the criminal courts, not least when it comes to the rights of individuals whom the government wishes to deport them to their countries of origin.’
