Immigration 2019 RLLR 59

2019 RLLR 59

Claimant is a credible stateless Palestinian who cannot use her expired Qatar residency to return and who, as a single Palestinian woman, would on the balance of probabilities face persecution in Qatar because of guardianship/sponsorship rules, systemic discrimination and lack of state protection; no internal flight alternative exists; therefore she meets the definition of a Convention refugee.

  • Convention refugee
  • Membership of a particular social group
  • Statelessness
  • State protection
  • Sponsorship/kafala
  • Women and guardianship laws
