UK: Arrest of Asylum Seeker Convicted of Sexual Assaults and Mistakenly Released from Prison

Hadush Kebatu, an Ethiopian asylum seeker who had been convicted of sexual assaults, was mistakenly released from prison while he was supposed to be transferred to another facility. He was arrested in East London this Sunday.

London police apprehended the asylum seeker on Sunday morning after he was erroneously released from prison on Friday, where he was serving a sentence for sexual assaults. This incident had sparked a series of protests earlier this summer.
