04/19/2009: "Asylum seekers win right to stay because of 'shambolic' immigration hearings (UK)"

Hundreds of appeal hearings are going ahead without a representative from the Home Office to defend its original decision to deny asylum.

The disclosure could help explain why the percentage of asylum seekers winning their appeals has risen from 17 per cent in 2005 to 25 per cent for the third quarter of 2008.

[ The immigration controls are a joke and it is deliberate. ]
