"The Home Office has apologised to a human-rights activist held at Gatwick Airport by the Border Force.
Sayed Ahmed Alwadei, who campaigns for human rights in Bahrain, was detained for two and a half hours in September 2023, after returning from Geneva.
Mr Alwadei, a refugee who has indefinite leave to remain in the UK, was told by Home Office lawyers he had been "unlawfully detained".
The Home Office said it could not comment on individual cases.
An apology sent to Mr Alwadei's lawyers said: "The home secretary has reviewed his records and accepts that your client was unlawfully detained.
"Your client's immigration records have been checked and the records updated to make sure this does not happen in the future.
"The secretary of state is unable to discern what powers were purported to be exercised."
WTAF?
Why is he unable to discern the powers that were abused? There must be paperwork?
Stitch up.
Well done Brits.

That's about as unlike North Korea as it's possible to get.

Immigration officers have very wide discretion. It can include not believing
documents presented or ID evidence. I presume in this case the discretion used
was deemed unreasonable, or perhaps the Home Office agreed the detention was
unlawful for political reasons, even though it actually wasn't.

There have been well-publicised cases of people granted asylum status by
the UK who have gone on to commit horrific terrorist murders here.

sort of thing to him. Plus it would've been a lot more than "annoying"
- he's not a UK citizen, he's got "indefinite leave to remain" so he may
well have been pretty terrified the entire time that they were going to
arbitrarily and instantly revoke his permission to enter the country
where he lives.
