The Palestinian community leader, Sheikh Raed Salah, has won his appeal against the British government's decision to deport him from the country.
The Palestine Solidarity Campaign said Sunday that Salah received a letter from Britain's Upper Immigration Tribunal, saying "his detention was entirely unnecessary and that his appeal has succeeded on all grounds."

For its part, the Middle East Monitor [MEMO], the group that invited Salah to a 10-day speaking tour in the UK, said that the "British Home Secretary, Theresa May, who had ordered Salah's arrest and deportation, has been misled and under a misapprehension as to the facts."
 
Furthermore, Director of the MEMO, Daud Abdullah, said "Salah's victory was a milestone in Palestinian people's efforts to campaign against the injustice they face at home and abroad."
 
While on a speaking tour to highlight the plight of the Palestinians, Salah was arrested at his hotel in London in June last year as Britain's Home Office claimed "a banning order had been placed on him."
