UK: Masari victory

01 May 1996

Support our work: become a Friend of Statewatch from as little as £1/€1 per month.

In the aftermath of Mohammed al-Masari's successful appeal over his attempted deportation to Dominica (see Statewatch, vol 6 no 2), the Home Office gave in and announced that the Saudi dissident could stay in the UK for four years in the first instance. They also said he could have his family join him immediately, which is unusual for someone granted exceptional leave to stay (as opposed to refugee status). Perhaps the Home Office believes that, with his family here, the doctor will have less time for his dissident activities.

Our work is only possible with your support.
