QuoteThe UK's Supreme Court has ruled that two gay men from Iran and Cameroon have the right to asylum in Britain.

The Supreme Court's panel said it had decided "unanimously" to allow the appeals.

The men had earlier been refused asylum in the UK on the grounds they could have kept their sexuality secret by behaving discreetly when they were deported.

The men had argued they would face persecution if sent back.

A right and proper decision.
