Legal adviser coaches migrants to fake gay asylum claims

An undercover BBC investigation uncovered that some legal advisers in the United Kingdom are coaching migrants to falsely claim they are gay or bisexual to improve their asylum prospects. Advisor Tanisha Khan told a journalist she would prepare interview materials and photos of migrants in clubs, saying it was the only way to obtain a visa. Khan later denied any wrongdoing, attributing the controversy to communication problems because she does not speak fluent Urdu{IMAGE}. The report highlights systemic abuse of the asylum system and raises concerns about the credibility of such claims among immigration officials. The investigation adds Khan’s name to earlier findings and includes her denial, expanding the scope of the scandal within UK asylum advice circles. Authorities have not yet commented on potential legal actions against the advisers involved. The BBC investigation continues to gather evidence on the practice across multiple firms.
