In my piece about the horrors of AIT Tribunals, I wrote that I was ashamed that such thing were being done “in my name” but puzzled about the complete absence of publicity: Journalists and the public can attend, but don’t.

Without scrutiny, IND, the Home Office and UKVisas seem completely above the law: Although the AIT Immigration Judge found in favour of my friend, many weeks ago, the “authorities” are still refusing to issue the Visa – or even to reply to letters, emails or phone calls.

The “authorities” are ignoring the Judge’s ruling, UK Immigration Law, and their own published procedures: Although this could seem like “contempt of court” astonishingly there is apparently no mechanism for enforcing the Judge’s decision.

So much for UK “justice”: So much for UK democracy!
