The 53-year-old judge, whose true identity cannot be disclosed due to security concerns but is referred to as Yosra, was granted the right to come to the UK after a long legal battle with the Home Office."

The U.K. has a responsibility to Afghanistan. The government pledged to protect them from the Taliban.

After Johnson promised to 'move heaven and earth' to help Afghans in danger of persecution from the Taliban in 'Operation Warm Welcome', the truth emerges.

A female former Afghan judge has spent 2 years hiding in Pakistan and fighting a legal battle against the U.K. Home Office to finally be accepted as a refugee.

"a long legal battle with the Home Office." is presumably what ministers mean when they claim there are "safe and legal routes" to the UK for refugees & asylum-seekers.

I'm still trying to get my head around this one . The female former judge from Afghanistan in a 2 year legal battle with the U.K.Home Office to obtain refugee status to come to the U.K., although she had already qualified for refugee status.
