Important information for Iraqis refused asylum in UK / KurdishMedia News, 7 Aug 2005
KurdishMedia News - Daily Kurdish news updates: "Iraqis refused refugee status by the Home Office between 1 October 2000 and 20 March 2003 on the ground that they could relocate from Government-controlled Iraq to the Kurdish Autonomous Zone (�KAZ�) in Northern Iraq are now entitled to ask the Home Office to grant indefinite leave to remain. That is because, until 21 March 2003 the Home Office had a policy of not arguing for internal flight to KAZ in such cases. This has been confirmed in the judgments of the High Court and Court of Appeal in Bakhtear Rashid v Secretary of State for the Home Department."
