Rapist asylum seeker due damages

Electronic tagging should have been considered, the judge said
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.

'Misleading statements'

Mr Justice Calvert Smith, sitting in London, said the detention became unlawful because of its length, the impossibility of achieving removal and misleading statements for immigration officials.

He also said there had been a failure to consider releasing the man with an electronic tag, an option available since July 2005.

The judge said although "A" had been desperate to remain in the UK, that was not enough to displace the illegality of his detention.

He added that it was not necessary for the man to stay in the UK while damages were assessed.

But it is thought "A" may seek a further judicial review against attempts to deport him.

Media requests that the man should be identified given his criminal record were rejected.

The judge said naming him could hamper Home Office attempts to deport him.

"A" first arrived in the UK in May 1995.

He completed an eight-year prison sentence more than three years ago, for the rape of a young girl at knifepoint.

The law is an ass and the biggest mules are the people dispensing justice.

Mr Justice whatever he's called may be correct in law but all common sense has gone out of the window.

Yes i would say the law made an error. The error was in not deciding right from the start that the man would serve a prison sentence and them be immediately deported.
From the dates given, it is clear the man committed his crime almost as soon as he arrived in your country.
tagging? Don't be crazy. The man would have jumped bail and the tag and gone into hiding in Britain.
The man never never has been a good migrant. He is criminal. Why should anyone owe him anything?
I just can't understand why he was not deported as soon as his sentence finished. No ifs, no buts.
You don't need his type in Britain.

What Mr A's comment was about Cherie Blair role as the head of the human rights committee.
The human rights thing is basicly a good thing, but the only ones getting any benefit out of it is the foreigners.

It is very noble of you to defend Mr A but as far as I know Cherie Blair is not head of any Human Rights Commission. She is a lawyer in a practice that specialises in human rights cases among other things.
I think you will find that British people are availing themselves of the benefits as much as these foreigners.

Sorry if I got that wrong Delilah I was under the inpression she was.

You don't hear of any British people availing themselves to this benefit.
