The Young Turks, ‘Britain Refused Asylum To This Woman Because Of Her Sexuality’, 2015
Abstract
“The Home Office has been accused of having ‘outdated’ views on sexuality, after it rejected an asylum claim made by a Nigerian lesbian. Aderonke Apata, 47, came to Britain in 2004 and is an award-winning LGBT rights activist. Now, she is challenging the Government’s decision not to grant her asylum in Britain and fears that deportation to Africa would compromise her safety. Yesterday, she appeared in London’s High Court to appeal her case. She was accompanied by her fiancée Happiness Agboro and a group of gay-rights activists. Apata has even submitted footage and photographic evidence of her sex life to prove that she is homosexual.”
