How the OBE awarded for"services to immigration detainees"to Karen Abdel-Hady,head of detention operations at the Home office,reflects"the very best of our nation",is a mystery given the case of 84-year-old Canadian Alois Dvorzak.The frail pensioner was refused entry to the UK at Gatwick and lay shackled to a security guard for more than five hours before he took his last breath.At the inquest into his death last year,Abdel-Hady admitted she did not have adequate arrangement in place to protect elderly and vulnerable detainees. She was also forced to disclose that Mr Dvorzak's case was no exception and that 90 percent of immigration detainees had been taken to hospital in handcuffs. Prison ombudsman Nigel Newcomen(who already had a CBE), said the case was "likely to have reached the threshold of inhuman and degrading treatment"and wad "a tragic indictment of the system" Still, no bar to winning a gong
