英国内政部撤销针对62岁长期居民的驱逐令

英国内政部周二撤销了针对62岁托尼·霍尔的驱逐令1。霍尔自1976年12岁时来到伦敦，已在英国生活了50年1。这一决定结束了他自2009年刑满释放以来长达17年的驱逐威胁1。

霍尔因2001年的抢劫阴谋罪和非法持枪被定罪，服刑8年1。出狱后，他长期被禁止工作、租住和享受医疗服务1。2010年1月，他曾被送上飞往巴巴多斯的飞机，但随后同机返回1。风之一代委员会主任克莱夫·福斯特对此案进行了干预1。

霍尔的律师纳加·坎迪亚表示1："内政部无法还给我的委托人17年的人生。"此次驱逐令的撤销为这名男子长期以来的不确定困境画上了句号1。

The UK Home Office has rescinded its deportation order against Tony Hall, a 62-year-old who has resided in Britain for 50 years.1 Hall arrived in London at age 12 in 1976 as a descendant of Windrush generation migrants.1 After serving an eight-year prison sentence for a 2001 robbery conspiracy conviction and illegal firearm possession, he faced deportation threats for 17 years following his release in 2009.1

The prolonged uncertainty proved particularly severe, as he was barred from employment, housing, and healthcare throughout the deportation process.1 In January 2010, Hall was placed on a flight bound for Barbados but returned to the UK on the same aircraft.1 His case gained attention through intervention by Clive Foster, chair of the Windrush Defenders committee, ultimately prompting the Home Office to reverse its decision.1 The department formally withdrew the deportation order on Tuesday.1

Hall's lawyer, Naga Kandia, underscored the irreversible harm inflicted by the prolonged limbo, stating: "The Home Office cannot return to my client 17 years of his life."1
