A Jamaican man serving a 14-year prison sentence in the United Kingdom (UK) for rape could potentially be returned to the island, but a legal battle over whether he would be adequately protected from criminal gangs is complicating efforts to deport him. The UK Supreme Court is being asked to consider the legal test for determining whether a person facing deportation can reasonably access state protection in their home country.
