Yes - if they have evidence to prove it. Make sure their refugee claim is genuine. If not and they are refused, they'll have a lot of trouble coming back in the future as visitors.

Do they have specific threats against their life, and can prove this with documented evidence? Not just their home country being a dangerous place to live. If not, their refugee app would not have a good chance of succeeding.

You may want to consider a H&C application instead, since the burden of proof will be less than a refugee claim.

You should talk to a lawyer experienced with these kinds of claims to see what your chances are.
