Hich was bailed after spending 31 days in detention (originally on baseless anti-terror grounds and then for alleged immigration offences) and the cancellation of one deportation flight. The Home office had tried to argue that he should be kept locked up because he has an 'absence of close ties' to the UK - a claim undermined by the huge outpouring of support he has received during his detention.

Amdani's hearing finished a couple of hours later. He was bailed after 18 days and two cancelled deportation flights. Supporters had been concerned that a riot at Campsfield House over the weekend might impact upon Amdani's hearing as he had originally been scheduled to participate via video link from Colnbrook.
