Darfuris to be sent back to Khartoum
Home Office v the 3 Darfuris
The Home Office wins case against Darfuri asylum-seekers after Law Lords rulings. The law lords ruled that the Court of Appeal wrongly overturned a ruling that the three asylum-seekers from Darfur should not be sent back to camps in Sudan. The Home Office had appealed to the House of Lords after the Court of Appeal ruled earlier this year that the three should not be sent to Sudan.

The court had ruled that the three Darfuris should not be sent back to camps in Khartoum, as conditions there were "unduly harsh." The three had appealed a ruling by the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal that would have sent them back to the Sudanese capital.

The basis of Home Office appealed the decision was that the court had not found that the non-Arab Darfuris would face mistreatment in Khartoum.
