An undercover media investigation has claimed that migrants from Pakistan and Bangladesh — both countries where homosexual relationships are outlawed — are being charged thousands of pounds by immigration advisors to pose as gay in order to remain in the UK.
The BBC reported that its journalists uncovered how migrants nearing the end of their visas are being provided with fabricated cover stories and are being coached on creating false evidence. They can then apply for asylum on the grounds that they are gay and fear for their lives if returned to Pakistan or Bangladesh.
