Home Secretary Kenneth Baker conceded in January that refugees could be vulnerable to persecution by neo-Nazis in Germany. He agreed to reconsider the claim of a Sudanese man who, having fled to Germany, had to flee to Britain after neo-Nazis had attacked the refugee camp in east Berlin where he was staying. Initially, Home Office officials had tried to send the man straight back to Germany, but leave was granted to challenge the decision in the High Court. In the wake of the court decision, Baker agreed to consider the man's asylum claim.
