Rapist argues being deported back to Eritrea would harm his mental health

A rapist from Eritrea who was jailed for raping a teenage girl will not be deported back to his home country after arguing that it would harm his mental health.

However, the fiend appealed arguing that he could not be properly treated for PTSD and depression in the East African country, the Sun reports.

The Home Office has refused to name the rapist for 'legal reasons' despite a security report stating he currently poses a medium level security risk whilst living freely in the UK.

Last month, a doctor witness stated that should the rapist return to Eritrea he would most likely kill himself and would also be punished for fleeing a military draft.

A security report into the man found that he currently poses a medium level security risk whilst living freely in the UK.
