Bhatt Murphy Solicitors are currently acting for a number of prisoners who have been removed from open prison conditions or refused release because of the chaos at the Home Office about the status of foreign national prisoners.
The problems run from prisoners who do face the prospect of deportation being refused release at the end of their prison sentences through to those prisoners who have British citizenship but are being treated as if they are susceptible to deportation. Judicial review proceedings have been brought on behalf of two prisoners in this second group.
Bhatt Murphy’s Simon Creighton discusses the issues in an opinion piece for Guardian.
