THE Supreme Court has found there is almost no evidence that refugees self-inflict torture scars in order to fabricate asylum claims.

A unanimous ruling by Britain’s top court today stated that evidence of “self-infliction by proxy” on the part of asylum-seekers is “almost non-existent.”

The judgement is an embarrassing blow to Home Secretary Sajid Javid whose department often claims asylum-seekers have wounded themselves and are not genuine victims of torture.
