Two gay men win a landmark asylum ruling

The UK's Supreme Court has set a precedent by ruling in favour of two gay asylum seekers - one from Iran, the other from Cameroon - who said they faced persecution if forced to return home.

Both men had been refused asylum by the previous British government.

That decision was backed by a lower court, on the grounds that the men could keep their sexuality secret by behaving discreetly.

BBC Focus on Africa's Hassan Arouni asked Iona Harding, a solicitor who worked on the case, what the ruling meant.
