Quote:
Three asylum seekers who fled Syria but were jailed after arriving in the UK without passports have been told they can appeal against their convictions.
The men arrived at Heathrow Airport at different times in 2013, saying they had received threats while in Syria.
However, they were arrested for failing to have travel documents and jailed for between eight weeks and four months.
