Preparation of documents for temporary protection of an individual in the United Kingdom due to political persecution or threat of extradition

Preparation of documents for temporary protection of an individual in the United Kingdom due to political persecution or threat of extradition

If a person is subject to political persecution in their country or faces extradition to a state where there is a risk of torture, ill-treatment, or unfair trial, they have the right to apply for temporary protection in the United Kingdom. This service is intended for individuals who are already on UK territory or have just arrived and require protection from forced return. 

The main goal is to ensure the person’s safety, legalise their status, and protect them from arrest and further actions aimed at extradition.

Analysis of the circumstances of persecution and grounds for granting temporary protection

The lawyer begins by conducting a detailed analysis of the circumstances indicating political persecution and identifying risks that meet the criteria for granting temporary protection under British and international law.

Lawyer’s actions:

1. conducts an interview with the client to establish key facts regarding the persecution;
2. carries out a legal assessment of risks under the 1951 Refugee Convention and the UK Immigration Act;
3. analyses the political situation in the client’s country of origin, including case law and reports from human rights organisations;
4. provides a legal opinion on the existence of grounds for temporary protection.

Result: the client receives a clear legal understanding of their chances, a prepared legal position, and professional support before the application procedure begins.

Preparation of an application for temporary protection (Asylum Claim / Human Rights Claim)

The success of the case largely depends on a properly drafted application for temporary protection, which must be supported by facts and legally substantiated.

Lawyer’s actions:

1. prepares a detailed application outlining the circumstances indicating political persecution or threat of extradition;
2. collects additional documents: medical reports, testimonies, articles, certificates from human rights organisations;
3. ensures translation of all materials into English in accordance with Home Office requirements;
4. interacts with the immigration service during registration and review of the application.

Result: the client receives a properly prepared application that meets Home Office requirements, enabling the official protection procedure to begin and granting the right to remain in the country during case consideration.

Legal support until a decision is made by UK authorities

The application review process may be lengthy, so it is important to have a professional representative who monitors the case progress, maintains contact with authorities, and prepares the client for possible hearings.

Lawyer’s actions:

1. monitors the status of the application in the Home Office system;
2. provides consultations to the client regarding possible requests from authorities;
3. prepares the client for interviews in temporary protection cases;
4. provides legal support in case of additional risks related to arrest or extradition request.

Result: the client receives continuous legal support, reduces the risk of detention, can act confidently, and is prepared for any decisions from UK authorities.
