Court Upholds Ruling on Unlawful Detention of Asylum Seekers
Update: 2025-12-16
Description
In a significant ruling, an appeals court upholds a decision that dozens of asylum seekers were unlawfully held on a remote island, rejecting an appeal by the territorys commissioner. The Tamil individuals, who arrived after a shipwreck, were detained for three years in harsh conditions, with judges finding the commissioners appeal highly selective. The British government may now face millions in damages, as the court found the detention unlawful and intentional, costing taxpayers £180,000 per day.
