The UK Government says the life of a gay refugee worth £46

pinke.biz — The UK government has placed a value of just £46 on the life of a gay refugee from Syria. That's the amount they've offered 19-year-old Jojo Yakob to withdraw his asylum appeal and return to his country where he will almost certainly be killed by the police, who beat him into a coma when they first discovered he was gay.
