IMPRISONMENT OF FRANK KAKOPA

That this House deplores the imprisonment of engineer Frank Kakopa in Belfast in 2005 on the mistaken grounds that he was an illegal immigrant; notes that the Equality Commission has condemned the imprisonment as unlawful and brought about purely on the grounds of Mr Kakopa's race; and congratulates the Commission on securing an out-of-court settlement and an apology for Mr Kakopa and his family from the Immigration Service.
