Evening everyone,
After a brief encounter with someone in irc I have ticked UK on a just
published startpage special from Notts. We believe the issue at stake is a
very important one and can have complications for many if this becomes the
norm.
They were originally arrested under the terrorism act (for downloading
'radical material') and then released without charge after 7 days. But now
one of them, (member of university staff) and non-British national has
been re-arrested under immigration legislation. Now the crazy bit: It has
been decided that the original arrest has compromised his visa status,
even though he was released without any charges. He now faces imminent
deportation. Anyway, people are getting really angry here and have started
mobilising to stop his deportation.
Anyways, the thing now shows on the startpage. Hope thats ok..
Wietse and Rich
