Ms X says she was detained in her country for 3 weeks, during which time she was beaten and raped by at least one different guard every day.
She says she was eventually dumped outside, bleeding from her vagina. She says she had an operation before arriving in the UK, still bleeding from the operation wound. She had another operation in the UK, removing a 5 inch tumor, including tissue from the lining of her uterus. A Medico-Legal Report submitted in her asylum appeal noted "the medical evidence gives strong support for the history of repeated rapes leading to life threatening gynaecological complications necessitating major surgery" but the adjudicator said the injuries "could have been caused by other means" and is not obliged to suggest what 'other means' could include. |
