A Colombian transexual has been denied asylum in Spain.

According to El Diaro De Cádiz, the National Court ruled that the individual only wanted to avoid deportation from Spain.

The claimant, who has been in Spain since May 2000, submitted the petition 24 March 2011, five days after courts ruled the individual be kept in the Center for Foreigners in Algericas for subsequent deportation.
