Asylum for journalist who fled Pakistan

A journalist who fled to Britain after exposing corruption in Pakistan has won a six-year fight to escape deportation. Mansoor Hassan, his wife and their four children, arrived in Britain in 2002 after their house was burned down and he was warned he would be killed. In 2004, his asylum application was rejected. He later lost an appeal. But, after strong support from the National Union of Journalists (he is now a member in Manchester), he has finally triumphed. (Via Manchester Evening News)
