<p> </p><p>All asylum and human rights claims are considered in accordance with our
<br>obligations under the 1951 Refugee Convention and the European Convention on <br>Human
Rights. We recognise that, in general, lesbian, gay, bisexual, <br>transgender and
intersex (LGBTI) persons may be at risk of persecution and <br>warrant protection,
and that this may have increased in particular for lesbian, <br>gay and bisexual (LGB)
persons following the signing of the Anti-Homosexual <br>Act. However, each case needs
to be considered on its individual facts. <br>In light of the Act, which specifically
targets ‘homosexuality', we published <br>updated guidance covering lesbian, gay and
bisexual claims on the Gov.uk <br>website on 10 April. <br>We are monitoring the situation
and will publish updated guidance on LGBTI <br>persons once it is clear how the law
is being applied in practice.</p><p> </p>
