Accused Abraaj tycoon Arif Naqvi sells UK mansion for more than £12m

sold his British country estate for £12.25 million ($17m) after being prevented from living there during his extradition battle with the United States. Mr Naqvi was placed under effective house arrest at his London apartment two years ago after his detention at Heathrow Airport on suspicion of fraud and money laundering over the collapse of the Dubai-based private equity company. Property ownership documents show his semi-rural retreat of Wootton Place, Oxfordshire, about 100 kilometres west of London, was sold to a prominent businessman in September last year for a £2.75m profit on the price Mr Naqvi paid in October 2006. The home – complete with extensive grounds, cricket pitch and bordering a church in the village of Wootton – was owned, on paper, by British Virgin Islands-registered company Blondell Assets Ltd.

Charity warns of two-tier system for asylum seekers in UK

SHARE The UK government plans to reform the asylum system but the British Red Cross charity warns that a two-tier system risks being created that would see anyone arriving via a third country being held in reception centres, potentially for months. Asylum seekers have to live in dirty and unsafe accommodation for lengthy periods while their claims are processed, according to the latest report on Britain s treatment of migrants. The British Red Cross tells of accommodation so ramshackle that a roof collapsed and how migrants were forced to wear filthy clothing to keep warm. The report follows a warning last week from the Refugee Council that asylum seekers face food shortages and racism in UK hotels, with one teenage boy needing hospital treatment because of the poor food provided.

MPs urge UK government to impose sanctions on Iran over jailing of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe

British-Iranian aid worker Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe jailed for extra year on propaganda charges

The National Ms Zaghari-Ratcliffe’s Iran-based lawyers were summoned on Monday and shown the verdict. UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson confirmed a further extension of an ordeal that saw her detained five years ago while on a visit to her parents. Mr Johnson said on Monday the sentence was cruel, inhumane and wholly unjustified . I don t think it is right at all that Nazanin should be sentenced to any more time in jail, I think it s wrong that she s there in the first place, he said. We will be working hard to secure her release – the government will not stop, we will redouble our efforts. I have to say we are working with our American friends on this issue as well.
