Exceptional circumstances can apply to so many of those who have sought refugee status in the UK. For example, my dear friend, Bahareh, in Oxford, came to this country having converted to Christianity in Iran. She was persecuted and had to leave, but, as a result of her getting refugee status here, the rest of her family now face equal persecution. Some have been incarcerated, and some have also had to flee. Is that not an exceptional circumstance?
