A gay rugby player fighting deportation to Kenya, where homosexuality is illegal, has called on the Home Secretary to rule on his asylum case and end his 'limbo'. 'Before I started this process I was thinking the UK is a champion of human rights,' he said. But the Government refuses asylum to the vast majority of Kenyans making claims on the basis of sexual orientation. A petition to end the rugby player's deportation has won more than 100,000 signatures, including Stephen Fry's. 'The Tories' hostile environment is causing real distress to applicants, leaving them in limbo with no certainty of their future.
