If he were to return to the Congo his mental health would detearioate he would not be able to exspress his sexuality it is something he would need to supress for fear of retribution. I feel he is someone who would be of benefit to our country.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Mr Richard McGlinchey, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, United Kingdom<p>It is border-line violation of his Human Rights to say that the protection of his sexuality is not justifiable in allowing him to stay in this country and that he should be forced to return to a country where he can, by law, be sentenced and put into Prison simply due to his sexuality, which he has no control over. If it were an Asylum Seeker who would be put to death by being forced to return to their country, we certainly wouldn&#039;t force them to return.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Mr John Kyle, Paisley, Renfrewshire, United Kingdom<p>Why should anyone have to live discreetly? We all should be able to live as who we are without fear of repression. A Government in the civilised world that places such emphasis on human rights on its own doorstep has a duty to take action where it can on the world stage. You have our support Maxwell.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Ms Sara O&#039;Loan, Glasgow, City of Glasgow, United Kingdom<p>Nobody should be forced to &#039;discretely&#039; hide themselves anywhere in the world, and it is simply wrong for repression like this to be condoned by the Home Office.</p>

<p>Sending lots of support and best wishes to you Maxwell.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Mr Nico Juetten, Glasgow, City of Glasgow, United Kingdom<p>Asylum is a human right (art 14 UDHR) - lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people who flee from persecution anywhere in the world are currently subjected to another set of human rights abuses in the UK asylum system, a system that is designed to keep people out, not to provide safety and compassion to those who need it most.<br />
Let this man, and everyone else who needs protection for whatever reason stay!!!</p>]]></description>
