What the court decided
The Upper Tribunal held that when assessing state protection, a judge must consider the individual circumstances of the applicant, even if there is a general sufficiency of protection in the country. This includes accounting for past persecution of the applicant and their family to determine if there are good reasons to believe such persecution will not be repeated and if the authorities can provide the required protection. Applying this, the Tribunal found the applicant had suffered past persecution and faced future risk, with no likelihood of sufficient protection from Pakistani authorities.
