African-American Civil rights activist, Kwame Toure, was detained at Heathrow airport by immigration officials at the beginning of April. He was travelling from New York to Kampala, Uganda, as a member of the US delegation to the Seventh Pan-African Congress when he was held at Heathrow during a change-over in his flight. He was released from detention following protests from other members of his delegation and interventions by the Ugandan High Commission and Labour MP, Paul Boateng. Kwame Toure was the subject of an exclusion order when he attempted to speak in Britain in 1984.
