An asylum seeker with Aids lost her High Court bid to stay in London this week, after she claimed that to be moved 200 miles away under the dispersal scheme would breach her human rights.
Jennifer Muguanguzi from Uganda was ordered to be dispersed to Leeds in Yorkshire last year because of the pressure on asylum support services in the capital.
Her barrister, Christa Fielden, argued that the decision had not taken into account Muguanguzi’s medical condition. But Mr Justice Golding said although he wouldn’t necessarily have come to the same conclusion as home secretary David Blunkett, he could not say in law that the decision was "unreasonable".
