✍️ Yvette Cooper, the UK Home Secretary, may face legal action over the decision to keep an asylum seeker with schizophrenia in prison despite a court order to release him.
👉 The High Court has ordered the Home Office to release a 25-year-old Nigerian man with schizophrenia by September 8. 👉 The man was detained in prison under immigration powers despite his asylum claim being reinstated. 👉 The court found that the Home Secretary's decision to detain him was unlawful and may have breached his human rights. 👉 The man remained in prison for over 15 weeks due to lack of suitable accommodation in the community.
