Home Secretary Suella Braverman has been hit with criticism by human rights groups after a controversial speech in which she suggested that fearing discrimination for being gay or a woman should not be enough to qualify for asylum in the UK.
Ms Braverman’s comments, in a speech on migration in the United States, earned strong criticism from campaigners, while the United Nations’ refugee agency rejected her call for the definition of who qualifies for protection to be “tightened".
