Could his Asylum status be revoked?

Why would it be revoked?

Just guessing here what the Op has in mind:

1. The reason asylum was originally granted is no longer valid.

2. Or, even, it was never valid.

ThatrCOs about it - itrCOs not rocket science, after all.

ItrCOs similar to the case not many years ago of a Somali who was granted asylum, but went on to commit criminal activity. He was found guilty but
not deported because he claimed he would be badly treated if he returned to Somalia. His criminal activity carried on, and when the police started to pursue him, he fled the country, and went back to Somalia. So his claims of possible ill-treatment were tenuous at best.

Yes, I was hoping they might think about their assumptions.

Even if they were seeking asylum from Afghanistan, that doesn't
preclude them from ever returning there briefly. One very obvious
example would be that they have family there, which might cause
someone to travel to a place even at risk of their own life.

May I recommend the ITV documentary "Inside Britain's Asylum Crisis"
which seems reasonably fair and balanced, giving a voice to people who
feel that their communities have been taken over by an influx of
refugees in hotels but also giving a voice to some refugees?

We need further documentaries to debunk the myth that asylum seekers are
in luxury hotels and are first in the queue for all manner of health and
other services.

The USA and the UK fucked up Afghanistan in a futile attempt to quash
Bin Laden and his gang and to change a Taliban regime into a brave new democracy with a corrupt puppet government and lots of bribery and
corruption. Now that the Taliban are back, maybe we have a duty to help
those ordinary citizens whom we have betrayed.

A couple of cases, randomly chosen:
