The pair were then released without charge (or apology); Hich was swiftly re-arrested on 'immigration grouds' and held in detention for a further three weeks. Students, academics and politicians have made it clear that the maltreatment of Hicham was and continues to be an attempt to cover up "a dreadful cock-up".

"I know our contract staff in removal centres provide care with the utmost sensitivity and compassion in really difficult circumstances, because I have studied the situation at first hand.
It's why medical care at a removal centre is as good as it is on the NHS. At Yarl's Wood - - there is 24-hour nursing care with 14 nurses, two doctors on call day and night, as well as social workers and dentists." Liam Byrne, Minister for Immigration, New Statesman, 11th September 2008
