Gay rights? Anyone?

You'd think it was simple, wouldn't you? Gay Iranian woman comes to England and claims asylum (asylum means 'a place of safety'. It seems many people have forgotten this). Homosexuality is illegal in Iran; her partner was arrested. tortured, and sentenced to death by stoning, her father was arrested and tortured to reveal her wherabouts. It isn't like the Iranian authorities don't know about her. Do we take her in? Welcome her and comfort her with open arms?
