AN immigrant is attempting to sue the UK Government for �11 million � for making him unhappy.
Daniel Kiunsi, who is from Tanzania in Africa, claims officials violated his human rights by confiscating his passport three years ago.
Mr Kiunsi says it caused his family 'great unhappiness' and insists the authorities should have provided for their 'basic needs' such as food, rent, council tax bills and other costs.
Kiunsi says he 'scientifically calculated' the figure of �11 million using internationally accepted methods and has issued a claim with the High Court in London.
Miserable: Daniel Kiunsi says the UK Government's decision to seize his passport has caused him 'great unhappiness'
The electrical engineer, who is in his forties, had been in the UK on a work visa but left to take a job overseas.
Row over 75,000 visas handed out each year to foreign students who never go home
He was allowed to enter to arrange for his family to leave � but is still here.
Kiunsi, who lives in Upminster, Essex, is citing his right to liberty, a fair trial and private and family life � plus human rights laws relating to 'torture or inhuman or degrading treatment'.
He told The Sun: 'It�s the issue of the happiness.'
The UK Border Agency said: 'We will challenge this robustly.'
I am going to sue the government for 1 billion pounds for making me unhappy by allowing all these foreigners into our country who take our homes and jobs, if he gets it so will I.
Or just throw him and all the other hangers on out. |
