Whereabouts of over 30,000 illegal Pakistanis in UK unknown | The Pakistan High Commission in London has said that it has no information
on the whereabouts more than 30,000 Pakistanis, who were not given the permission
to stay in Britain and whose whereabouts were unknown to the British authorities.
For the first time, the chief immigration inspector of the UK Border Agency disclosed
the existence of a backlog of more than 150,000 cases involving people, who were
refused permission to stay in Britain . According to official documents obtained,
British chief inspector of immigration, John Vine disclosed the existence of the
UK Border Agency's national "migration refusal pool" and expressed concerns that
it was impossible to know whether the 150,000 were still in Britain or had left
voluntarily. Vine said in his report that the "migration refusal pool" concerned
cases where applications, for instance from students, had been made to remain
in the UK , were refused. "Applicants are given notice that they must leave the
UK within 28 days. The cases are officially described as work in progress," the
Daily Times quoted Vine, as saying. UK officials said that the list includes people
who have failed to leave Britain , those who have applied to stay under another
category, those who have outstanding legal appeals, and those who have already
left the country but by a route not covered by the e-borders computer database.
A large number of Pakistanis living in the UK have complained about the indifference
of British diplomats who had no clue about the condition of the Pakistanis mentioned
missing, or their general well-being and access to health care in the country.
