Gay Eritrean granted asylum in Israel

The 26-year-old man applied for asylum to avoid persecution in his country of origin after being found out by other Eritreans in Israel; his lawyer explains that he would be in danger if forced to return to Eritrea.
The Population and Immigration Authority (PIA) recently granted asylum to a 26-year-old gay Eritrean man on the grounds that his returning to his country would endanger his life due to his sexual orientation.
The Eritrean was born in the capital of Asmara and forced into military service at the age of 17. In 2009, he tried to flee his country through the border into Ethiopia, but he was caught and incarcerated for 16 months. Afterwards, he was returned to his military service.
He hid the fact that he was gay whilst in his home country, where it is illegal and entails a prison sentence of up to three years.
In 2011, he managed to flee to Israel and stayed with a person he knew from Eritrea. After other tenants discovered his sexual orientation, however, he was thrown out of his apartment and began living in Tel Aviv’s Levinsky Park. Since then, however, he managed to rehabilitate his life, find a job and rent an apartment by himself.
His lawyer, Oded Dugma, filed his asylum application in 2014. Dugma welcomed PIA’s decision, “My client lived in the closet his entire time in Eritrea, and contrary to other cases that I’ve handled, he wasn’t tortured or imprisoned for long stretches in his country of origin because of his sexual orientation. Nonetheless, the Interior Ministry accepted our position regarding the danger to him due to his coming out of the closet in Israel.
“I would hope that the decision also stemmed from the consideration presented whereby returning a gay asylum seeker to a homophobic country means a life of fear, self-hatred and lack of freedom, or in other words: a violation of his human dignity. I can only wish the asylum seeker an easy and quick integration into Israeli society.”
The Eritrean has been granted renewable temporary residence, which grants him the right to work and access to social and health benefits.

Most of the so called tegadelties are working as house keepers cleaning hospital floors, driving a taxi, as a paring attendants or simply collecting wellfare. They are not really proud of thrir history or country. Now consider the leftover pride that we the agelglot are allowed to enjoy. Pride emanates from real freedom, peace, good living stsndard all of which non existent in iseyas (slave of savage arabs)’s eritrea.

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck,
then it is “lazim” a duck, in other word, it is lazim the same old Arab dog Wedi Halima.
Why are you then suddenly out of blue coming to object of a “weird and strange news”????
You are simply the swollen-headed savage evil rootless moslem Yemeni nomad saHab gimel Abdurobo changing your nefahito moslem taliban colors to deceive gullible Eritreans.
Simply, get lost Wedi Halima Arab dog and rot in your vicious Islam’s hell. Why did your savage evil barbarian moslem Arab slave masters set you free? You should be kept in savage moslem cages for public safety. Your days are really numbered in Eritrea as you’ll be the next Tutsi.

Mokie aka Mohammed, Khalid, WoBawzan, comedian Ali, Wedi Hagher – Wedi Halima, Sol, andom, adhanom, Habtu, kalighe, guest, Robel, Moges Beyene, Mehari Woldegabir, Kamal, eyob tesfalem, Duri Mohammed, Zafu, Aman, Naier, Abdurobo, the stinking dead Saho rat.
In short, a super rootless nomad NEFAHITO Afghan terrorist taliban sent from his savage evil negis Mohammed to poison and destroy our peaceful God fearing civilized world and society.
Wedi Halima Arab dog why don’t you at least just stick to your vicious and barbaric moslem names instead of using and degrading our beautiful Christian names that is unless you are that desperate to convert to our peaceful human Christian religion??
You see Wedi savage evil negis Mohammed, even though I use a few pen-names (just to catch up to your “Yemeni Shitaratat”) unsuccessfully so far, I always stick to my beautiful Christian names so I suggest you stick to the savage evil moslem Arab dogs of Ahmido, Salihido, Fatima or even the paedophile PH.
And why are you all deki Halima and deki negi savage Mohammed objecting to your moslem gays/whores news?? Don’t have a go at poor Aman/Assenna, if you are not happy why don’t you fucking get lost to where ever that you belong like awate.islam, jeberti.whores.islam or Arab dogs websites?? In short, just rot in your savage evil moslem hell where you all belong.

Another rootless savage evil moslem gay/whore in Israel that is on top of the two well known Saleh’s family gays/whores in the USA. The two well known rootless immigrant filthy and disgusting moslem gays/whores being the ugly savage moslem Arab dog Omer Saleh Ibrahim and the aregit mushmush kelbi areb/old Arab dog WHORE Ahmed Saleh Ibrahim originally from Shire/Sheraro – Tigray – Ethiopia.
These two stinking rootless savage evil moslem Saleh’s family have no shame in calling themselves “Eritreans”!!!!
They should beheaded first and then burned alive as in with their savage barbaric sharia laws and rot in their evil moslem hell where they really belong these garbage lementi/beggars Arab dogs i.e. Omer Saleh & Ahmed Saleh of USA residents (presently) but should be deported to their Afghanistan or Arab hell.
