'Leave UK immediately': scientist is latest victim of Home Office blunder

Dr Mohsen Danaie, who works at the UK's synchrotron, has valid visa but was sent letter warning of forcible removal

The Home Office is still sending out letters telling lawfully resident immigrants in Britain they must leave the country, a month after the home secretary had to apologise for "an unfortunate error" in mistakenly informing 100 EU nationals that they faced possible deportation.

The Home Office had to issue a further apology on Monday to a research scientist, who received a letter out of the blue on Friday telling him his driving licence was being revoked and he "should take steps to leave the UK immediately".
