Afghan Migrant Keeps Refugee Status Despite Violent Past

0:00On April 8th, an Afghan migrant named AR, who smashed a wine bottle over a 14-year-old girl and her mom back in 2007, just got to. Keep his refugee status in the UK. He first claimed asylum in 1999 after fleeing the Taliban, and by 2001, he had indefinitely to stay, but his record. Quickly filled up with violence, from threatening his flatmate to assaulting pub dormant and neighbors. That bottle attack was brutal. He hit the girl and her mother repeatedly while threatening the whole family, then slapped another shop owner he got. Locked up indefinitely due to a psychotic state, cycling through prisons and mental hospitals for years. Fast-forward, and after switching to a strong med-called Closepine around 2017, AR turned a corner, no more delusions, unescorted leave, and claimed for over 12 years now, with Dr. Sanky's no threat if he stays on treatment. The home office tried revoking his status twice, ignoring his recovery, but the judge shut that down hard, calling it a hopeless case and stressing.
