Amelia Smith, ‘EU Court bans sexuality tests for gay asylum seekers’, 12 February 2014
Abstract
The Court of Justice of the European Union, which interprets EU law to ensure that it is equally applied in all EU countries, today ruled that refugees who claim asylum based on their homosexuality should not have to undergo invasive tests to prove it, including detailed questioning on their sexual habits.
