5) Home Office: Asylum Policy Instructions: Internal Flight
" 2.1 Is internal flight an option?
There are two main points to be considered in assessing the possibility of internal flight.
-Is there a part of the country in which the applicant would not have a well-founded fear of persecution?
-Is it reasonable to expect the applicant to live in that part of the country?"
