- Mistaken deportation, December 2005 (19 Dec 2005)
In late December 2005 it has emerged that the UK mistakenly deported an Iraqi Kurdish Asylum Seeker in November, and is now looking for him. This has raised sharp criticism from a high court judge, who also condemned the Home Office's broader practices in deportation cases. The Herald, and the Telegraph also reported this story.
