Breaking: Kiana Firouz has asylum

By Paul Canning

LGBT Asylum News has confirmed that Iranian lesbian Kiana Firouz today received 'leave to remain' in the UK - saving her from removal to Tehran after two refusals, originally and at appeal.

Kiana has been the focus of the largest ever international campaign for an LGBT asylum seeker, with over 45,000 signing a petition. We published Kiana's statement back in April.
