AM (Zimbabwe) v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2020] UKSC 17

AM opposed the deportation order made against him because he would not be able to get treatment for HIV/AIDS in Zimbabwe. Originally his application was based on a breach Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (right to private life) but a new case from Europe opened up the possibility of success under Article 3 (prohibition on torture). In this episode the Supreme Court breaks down that new case and we consider how and why Article 3 is used in these types of proceedings.
