Introduction 1.1 Basis of claim 1.1.1 Fear of persecution or serious harm by the state because the person has unsuccessfully claimed asylum in the UK. Back to Contents 2. Consideration of Issues 2.1 Credibility 2.1.1 For further guidance on assessing credibility, see the Asylum Instruction on Assessing Credibility and Refugee Status. 2.1.2 Decision makers must also check if there has been a previous application for a UK visa or another form of leave. Asylum applications matched to visas should be investigated prior to the asylum interview (see the Asylum Instruction on Visa Matches, Asylum Claims from UK Visa Applicants). 2.1.3 Decision makers should also consider the need to conduct language analysis testing (see the Asylum Instruction on Language Analysis). Back to Contents 2.2 Particular social group 2.2.1 Rejected asylum seekers returned to Sudan do not form a particular social group (PSG) simply by virtue of having made an unsuccessful asylum claim in the UK. This is because they do not share a common characteristic that cannot be changed and do not have a distinct identity which is perceived as being different by the surrounding society. 2.2.2 For guidance on assessing membership of a particular social group, see the Asylum Instruction on Assessing Credibility and Refugee Status. Back to Contents 2.3 Assessment of risk 2.3.1 In the country guidance case of IM and AI (Risks – membership of Beja Tribe, Beja Congress and JEM) Sudan CG [2016] UKUT 188 (IAC) (14 April 2016), heard on 28 and 29 July, and 4 November 2015, the Upper Tribunal (UT) gave general guidance on the position of returned rejected asylum seekers. It found that there was no risk of persecution for rejected asylum seekers per se (paras 216 to 226). 2.3.2 The UT found that: ‘In HGMO (Relocation to Khartoum) [HGMO (Relocation to Khartoum) Sudan CG [2006] UKAIT 00062 (03 August 2006)], the Tribunal concluded that neither involuntary returnees nor failed asylum seekers… were as such at real risk on return to Khartoum… [and] it was not argued before [this] Tribunal that involuntary returnees would be at risk for Page 4 of 29 that reason alone…Had this been a general practice, the information would have filtered out’ (paras 220 and 222). 2.3.3 The UT in IM and AI also found that ‘[i]t is our firm conclusion that a failed asylum seeker, including an individual that had been subject to investigation by the immigration authorities on return, would not be at risk of further investigation by [National Intelligence and Security Service] NISS on that basis alone.’ (para 225) 2.3.4 Evidence available since the hearing and promulgation of IM and AI in 2015 and 2016 respectively, when taken in the round, does not establish that rejected asylum seekers per se are at risk of harm on return (see Treatment of returnees). 2.3.5 The state may, however, take an adverse interest in a person returning to Sudan who is known or is suspected to have a political profile and / or are linked to activities that are perceived to be critical of the government (see Persons of interest and the country policy and information note on Sudan: Opposition to the government). 2.3.6 For further guidance on assessing risk generally, see the Asylum Instruction on Assessing Credibility and Refugee Status. Back to Contents 2.4 Protection 2.4.1 As the person fears persecution or serious harm from the state, they will not be able to avail themselves of the protection of the authorities. 2.4.2 For further information on assessing the availability or not of state protection, see the Asylum Instruction on Assessing Credibility and Refugee Status. Back to Contents 2.5 Internal relocation 2.5.1 As the person fears persecution or serious harm from the state, internal relocation will not be reasonable. 2.5.2 For further guidance on internal relocation, see the Asylum Instruction on Assessing Credibility and Refugee Status. Back to Contents 2.6 Certification 2.6.1

  • Alms for Jihad Book
    Alms for Jihad Giving to charity is incumbent upon every Muslim. Throughout history, Muslims have donated to the poor and to charitable endowments set up for the purposes of promoting Islam through the construction of mosques, schools, and hospitals. In recent years, there has been a dramatic proliferation of Islamic charities, many of which were created in the declining decades of the twentieth century by the infusion of oil money into the Muslim world. While most of these are legitimate, there is now considerable and worrying evidence to show that others have more questionable intentions, and that funds from such organizations have been diverted to support terrorist groups, such as Al Qaeda. The authors of this book examine the contention through a detailed investigation of the charities involved, their financial intermediaries, and the terrorist organizations themselves. What they discover is that money from these charities has funded conflicts across the world, from the early days in Afghanistan when the mujahideen (Muslim warriors) fought the Soviets, to subsequent terrorist activities in Central Asia, Southeast Asia, Africa, Palestine, and, most recently, in Europe and the United States. This ground-breaking book is the first to piece together, from a vast array of sources, the secret and complex financial systems that support terror. J. MILLARD BURR worked for many years in the Department of State and was formerly United States logistics advisor for Operation Lifeline Sudan I. He has worked closely with international charities for more than forty years. ROBERT O. COLLINS is Emeritus Professor of History at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

As a result, due to this filthy logic there is a documented and direct relationship between this organisation (al-Q’idah) and the Rfid (Safaw)2 state of Irn. Firstly, there is 1 Ab ’Abdllh Umar bin ’AbdulHameed al-Batsh, Kashf ul-Astr ’amm f1 Tandheem al-Q’ida min Afkr wa’l- Akhtr [Uncovering the Ideas and Dangers Within al-Qaida] (Ammn, Jordan: Dr ul-Athariyyah, 1430 AH/2009 CE, intros.

Even though this topic may seem surprising to some English audiences it has actually been discussed much among Arabs and within their media wherein many al-Q’idah members within Iraq have actually openly admitted that they obtain help from Irn! 2 Translator’s note: The Safawiyyah (Safavid Dynasty) were the ruling Persian Empire which transformed Persia into an official Shi’a state in the Sixteenth century CE, they ruled from 1500-1722 CE.
