(Jamaica) - The scars have long healed, but 28-year-old Asher's wounds go much deeper than the physical. Asher, who declined to give his surname, said he was beaten by men who didn't like his 'walk'. "What happened is that a group of men drew me into St Michael's Church, and they used a stone and started knocking me in the head," he said. Asher went to the United Kingdom with his uncle on a six-month visitor's visa. And after weighing his options, he decided to apply for political asylum in Britain. But by the time Asher got two sureties to act on his behalf, his removal date was too close at hand and so he was sent back to Jamaica.
