A failed asylum seeker jailed for a sickening child rape won the right to challenge a Government decision to keep him behind bars while he awaits deportation.
The case threatens to inflict new humiliation on the Home Office, which has been trying to deport the Somalian without any success for three-and-half years.
The 30-year-old, whose name is being kept secret by the courts, became eligible for parole in 2002 after completing half of an eight-year term for raping a 13-year-old girl.
But he is considered such a 'high risk of sexual re-offending' the Home Office is using immigration powers to keep him locked-up.
These powers allow the Government to keep him imprisoned - at a cost of around £40,000 a year to the taxpayer - while his deportation is processed......
Last month, it emerged more than 1,200 foreign nationals have passed their release date but are still being held while officials struggle to process their deportation papers.

Whoooaaa there what was that..."more than 1,200 foreign nationals have passed their release date"
So, if 1200 have passed release date HOW MANY BLOODY FORIEGN BASTARDS ARE ACTUALY IN PRISON?
In Germany, if any foriegn national comits an offence which CAN bring 18 months, or more, in prison, then they are deported with NO FURTHER APPEAL. Note they do not have to be sentenced to 18 months. But if they are found guilty and, in theory COULD have been, suffices.
Perhaps the British Government may like to take note.
It would end this problem over night.
