Persecution in Germany
artdoc April=1992
Home Secretary Kenneth Baker conceded in January that refugees
could be vulnerable to persecution by neo-Nazis in Germany. He
agreed to reconsider the claim of a Sudanese man who, having fled
to Germany, had to flee to Britain after neo-Nazis had attacked
the refugee camp in east Berlin where he was staying. Initially,
Home Office officials had tried to send the man straight back to
Germany, but leave was granted to challenge the decision in the
High Court. In the wake of the court decision, Baker agreed to
consider the man's asylum claim.
