A migrant convicted of attempting to rape a woman was awarded £27,000 ($33,600) compensation
Kurdish citizen Bashdar Abdulla Qarani entered the UK in 2005, and was found guilty of a series of offences, including theft, battery, and carrying a knife
Immigration authorities were, however, unable to prove his nationality due to Qarani’s lack of documents, and the 36-year-old was once again released
This week, deputy High Court judge Philip Mott QC ruled Qarani’s lengthy detention was in breach of his human rights and granted the man £27,000 in compensation.

This is a perfect example of the absolute insanity going on with the migrants.
A migrant man living in the UK was convicted of various crimes, including attempted rape, and was subsequently sentenced to prison. There was one big problem, though; he didn't have legal documents proving his identity... So he was released from prison and awarded $33,600 in compensation for his rights being violated. How were his rights violated, you ask? Well, he had been arrested and held in detention for sexual crimes. Yep.
I just can't fathom how someone can try to rape a woman and not only get off scott-free, but be awarded tens of thousands of dollars in compensation as an apology for being arrested just because you don't have legal identification. This is precisely why every country needs to know who is entering and who is living there.
Well, if you wanna rape women and get paid to do it, just sneak into the UK without legal documents.

Without doing any research on the topic, I believe it is very likely that the damages ordered were not due to the sentence he received as a result of being convicted of the crimes. He most likely finished his sentence on those charges and was held for an additional period of time for immigration purposes. I can only assume that not only couldn't the gov't prove he'd violated any immigration laws, but that they didn't even have cause to hold him therefore. Thus the resulting damages.

How could they pay him anything if he couldn't prove who he was? The same logic that made him eligible for this payout should simultaneously invalidate him.
