AI Summary

medium article 2 min

On October 26, 2025, British police arrested Hadush Kebatu, an Ethiopian man who was mistakenly released from prison instead of being deported after serving a sentence for sexual assault and other offenses in England. Kebatu, 38, had been convicted in September for five crimes including sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl. He was freed by mistake on Friday from Chelmsford Prison when he should have been sent to an immigration detention center. His initial arrest sparked protests across the UK over summer. After a three-day search, Kebatu was found and detained in north London. Britain's Secretary of State for Justice David Lammy confirmed the arrest and ordered an investigation into the release error.
