A gay Iranian teenager who feared he could be executed if he was returned home has been given asylum in Britain.
Mehdi Kazemi, 19, came to London to study English in 2005, but later discovered that his boyfriend had been charged with sodomy in Iran and hanged.
The home secretary agreed to reconsider Mr Kazemi's case in March, after his first asylum bid failed.
The UK Border Agency now says it will allow him asylum after reviewing his case.
There's too many asylum seekers using this line. There's one in the north east claims she and her 3 kids cannot go back home as she will be imprisoned for being a lesbian.
