Swansea charity worker who fled DR Congo wins asylum fight (BBC News) (15 January 2020)

BBC News reports on our client, a charity worker who arrived in Swansea after fleeing the Democratic Republic of Congo, has won his asylum battle to remain in the UK. Otis Bolamu was arrested and detained by UK authorities in December 2018 and was released on appeal after thousands signed a petition to let him stay in the UK. Duncan Lewis’ public law team confirmed on January 14th 2020 that he had been “finally granted asylum”, and thanked the community support from Swansea and Wales in turning the case around in a tweet, noting that the petition to allow Mr Bolamu to remain in the UK was “…signed by 68,000 people.”
