Rapist asylum seeker due damages

A failed asylum seeker convicted of raping a 13-year-old girl is to be awarded damages after a judge ruled he was unlawfully detained in prison.

The 31-year-old, known as "A" for legal reasons, was held for 20 months after serving his sentence while authorities tried to deport him to Somalia.

A High Court judge ruled his detention became unlawful because of its length, and he was entitled to compensation.

Human rights lawyers said he could get up to £50,000 from the Home Office.

The question that really needs asking is why did it take 20 months to deport him to Somalia (and then still not actually deport him) ?
He should have been on the first flight out after leaving prison. No appeal, no questions asked, nothing. I'm not surprised he's getting compensation, how long does it take to drive someone to Heathrow and handcuff them to a seat in economy?

Maybe a period of consultation is in order?

Well, assuming he was sentenced to be deported at the end of his prison term (whatever that was) he had all that time in prison to appeal against the deportation (since he knew it was going to happen). If he didn't appeal, or did appeal and lost, hard luck sonny, taxi to Heathrow it is.

The problem is with the English (and Scottish) legal system. There are firms of solicitors and barristers’ chambers specialising in these cases using Legal Aid Funding. What is needed is a simplified court system for emigration issues where the High Court is not include in the appeal process.The courts should have in-house lawyers appointed for the defence.

In the USA, illegal emigrants can be imprisoned by the police without a court and sent back to their own county without a hearing.

Paddy you are correct in the migration thing but it is a more underlying problem .
They should operate a 1 strike policy - any violation of our laws (proven in a court of law) and you are on the next plane out of Heathrow. The safety of the many outweigh the rights of the individual, and I cannot see why this is so hard for the authorities to grasp.
