Action Alert
In May 2010 , Stonewall published the report No Going Back: Lesbian and gay people and the asylum system. It found almost systemic homophobia in the UK asylum system resulting in legitimate lesbian, gay and bisexual asylum seekers regularly being refused sanctuary.
Baffour Obeng is one of those people refused sanctuary. He has committed no crime, but is imprisoned in the UK after being refused asylum. He is facing forced removal to Ghana, where homosexuality is a crime and where, as the Home Office admitted to Baffour, there would be "no protection available if you were to experience problems on account of your sexuality."
