UK immigration judges have granted a Sudanese asylum seeker a 'child status' despite strong evidence and physical assessments suggesting he is an adult. The ruling has caused a nationwide heated debate, with many critics questioning the age assessment process.
The case centres around a Sudanese migrant who arrived in the UK in September 2023, seeking refuge after fleeing Sudan's war and claimed to be 16 years old. However, the Home Office and the London Borough of Hounslow, where he was placed, disputed his age.
