Gay Syrian refugee Jojo Jako Yakub has been released from a youth center in Scotland, but will likely be sent back to his homeland, where he says he faces violent persecution. Scottish immigration officials ruled this weekend that homos such as Yakub can simply alter their ways of lives, “Homosexuals have to modify their behaviour and lifestyle accordingly. We find no evidence that in Syria [Yakob] would conduct himself other than discreetly to avoid repercussions.” [Pink News UK]
