I think he should qualify for British Citizenship now on the basis of being stateless. There is an international convention on preventing statelessness, and it usually involves grating citizenship according to your place of residence. But it may be worth to get a lawyer to check the details.charlearose wrote:When he arrived in Cuba on Monday he was refused entry on the basis that because he has has left the country for more than 11months without permission therefore he has lost his cuban citzenship ( this was also the basis of his 2nd claim for asylum)

Anyway, now that he is stateless, he cannot be deported any more, as far as I understand. There is also no point in holding him in prison, so I hope he will be released soon.
So I do not think he is stateless, unless he has official proof of this. In that case, the best he can hope for is discretionary leave.Refugees International wrote:Cubans in the U.S. may not be stateless per se as there is no indication that their Cuban nationality had been withdrawn or disputed. However, given that re-entry to Cuba is not possible in many cases, the UN has suggested it is more an instance of ineffective nationality. These cases must be treated with great care. For Mariel Cubans (as well as others) who were paroled into the U.S., ‘entry’ to the U.S. was not possible, so the result was a ‘legal lacunae.’ Ineffective nationality became an issue in these cases because of the instances of indefinite detention in the U.S. that resulted.

I am not sure that Wikipedia is the best source. In Cuba, I would not even trust the lawWanderer wrote:Found this which suggests Cuban Nationality is lost only by choice and in any case can be regained again.
I suppose if they cannot remove him, then there is no point in keeping him in detention as it cost them money.charlearose wrote:-is it usual to be realesed afer dention it would be much appreciated
