A severely depressed young asylum seeker stranded at a will be reunited with his brother after a decision preventing his resettlement in Britain��was overturned.��

Judge Jackson, an immigration judge, reversed the UK government’s initial rejection of the��family reunion application last week, saying that had a “significant weight” in her decision.��

The first verdict was issued because of��“insufficient” evidence of a close relationship.��

Judge Jackson��ruled that the young migrant, deemed severely depressed and suicidal by a clinical assessment, must be transferred to the UK “as soon as possible”, on the grounds that exclusion from was a disproportionate breach of his right to family life.��

Samir fled torture, has been stranded in Greece since 2019, faced violence & sexual assault is now homeless- must secure his immediate safe passage & reunite him with his brother.

Further delay puts him in further danger.

The migrant, who��is around 18 years old, has been living alone on the island of Samos since 2019.��He had to leave his home country for fear of detention and torture.����

He has been staying at a camp near the island’s town Vathy, which will be��closed down soon to make way for��new EU-funded “closed” asylum centres -

During his time in Greece, the young asylum seeker’s tent was, according to The ���Ի����Ի��Գ�.��

“The fire came to my tent and I was scared, so I left the tent. Everything has been damaged except that I just managed to rescue my papers and my phone. I’m homeless,” he said.

There were no injuries in the fire��but a number of sheds where��300 refugees lived damaged.��

He had also been��bullied and sexually assaulted.

“A few weeks ago I was walking to meet my solicitor and two older men tried to have sex with me. They gave me a kiss on my cheeks, then I ran away,” the young man also said.��

“I’m really, really scared. I don’t know where to go. I can’t sleep outside. Things are becoming worse and worse here.”��

The clinical assessment seen by Judge Jackson made it clear that the young migrant cannot recover from his “complex chronic traumatised state [if] he remains in this environment, regardless of any treatment he can receive.”

The Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) charity, who provided medical assistance on the island, told ������ about the scale and seriousness of the mental health care needed at the migrant camps.��

From January to August 2021, completed 1,500 mental health consultations��on Samos, the majority of which diagnosed symptoms of “depression and post-traumatic stress disorder".��

“People seeking protection in Europe have already been exposed to violence and hardship, and the hotspots are neither safe nor healthy places for them,” said Betty Siafaka, a mental health supervisor on Samos at MSF.

The young man's��UK-based lawyer, Rachel Harger of Bindmans Solicitors, said: "conditions on Samos are increasingly volatile and dangerous and the burning down of Samir's tent is just [the] latest example of events which continue to traumatise him."

Immigration��lawyer Sarah Pinder told�������� that��it was “very common” for the to reject family reunion claims. Parents or siblings do not tend to qualify for resettlement, she added.��
