Court upholds Home Office decision to deport man with bipolar to Uganda
SAM TOBIN reports from the High Court

THE COURT of Appeal upheld yesterday the Home Office’s decision to deport a bipolar man to Uganda despite him having lived “almost all his life” in Britain.

Kennedy Mwesezi, 30, came to Britain aged two with his mother and brother and speaks only English, having returned to Uganda just “a couple of times on family holidays.”

After he was sentenced to six years for possession of a converted starter pistol in 2012, the Home Office decided to deport Mr Mwesezi in September 2014.
