United Kingdom: Asylum and Immigration Tribunal / Immigration Appellate Authority

The Asylum and Immigration Tribunal (AIT) forms part of the Tribunals Service, an executive agency of the Ministry of Justice. The implementation of AIT in 2005, superseded the former Immigration Appellent Authority (IAA). The AIT hears and decides appeals against decisions made by the Home Office in matters of asylum, immigration and nationality. The Asylum and Immigration Tribunal was abolished by Article 2 of the Transfer of Functions of the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal Order 2010, and its functions were transferred to the First-tier Tribunal and the Upper Tribunal Immigration and Asylum Chamber (UTIAC), created under Part 1 of the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007, effective 15 February 2010.

SZ and JM (Christians - FS Confirmed) Iran v. Secretary of State for the Home Department Conditions for Christians in Iran have not deteriorated sufficiently to necessitate a change in the guidance in FS and Others (Iran - Christian Converts) Iran CG [2004] UKIAT 00303 Iran. For some converts to sacrament-based churches the conditions may be such that they could not reasonably be expected to return and their cases must be considered on HJ (Homosexuality: Reasonably Tolerating Living Discreetly) Iran [2008] UKAIT 00044 grounds. It remains to be seen whether the proposed inclusion of apostasy in the amended criminal code will make a material difference. The amendments to the code are part of a wholesale change in the criminal law and not solely aimed at converts. The proposals are still before Parliament. 'Proselytising' and 'evangelising' are not terms of art and distinctions should not be drawn between them. 12 November 2008 \| Judicial Body: United Kingdom: Asylum and Immigration Tribunal / Immigration Appellate Authority \| Document type: Case Law \| Topic(s): Arbitrary arrest and detention - Catholic - Christian - Country of origin information (COI) - Criminal justice - Deportation / Forcible return - Evangelical - Freedom from torture, inhuman and degrading treatment - Religious persecution (including forced conversion) \| Countries: Iran, Islamic Republic of - United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
