appeal court backs 'deport first, appeal later' policy for foreign prisoners
Ruling that deportation of two men before their appeal rights are exhausted does not breach European law is boost for home secretary
Lord Justice Richards at the court of appeal ruled that it would not be a breach of European human rights legislation for two men convicted of drug offences to be deported before their appeal rights are exhausted. Lawyers for the men argued that they would not have a fair hearing if they had to appeal from their respective countries of origin, Jamaica and Kenya.
Immigration minister James Brokenshire described the process as "cracking down on the appeals conveyor belt used by criminals to delay their removal from the UK".
More than 230 foreign national offenders have been removed under these powers since they were introduced.
