11/28/2008: "UK shadow immigration minister arrested over discovering secrets about illegal immigrants"

Mr Green, who is the shadow immigration minister, was arrested at his home in Kent by counter-terrorism police officers.

The arrest follows a series of leaks to the Conservatives about Government policy, including a sensitive memorandum from the Home Office's most senior official on crime figures earlier this month.

David Cameron, the Conservative leader, is said to be "extremely angry" about the arrest and has privately accused the Government of "Stalinesque" behaviour.

[ The media is unanimous in condemning the treatment of Mr Green and the high secrecy surrounding government attempts to keep the public from knowing the truth about crime and immigration as well as the thousands of illegal immigrants employed as security guards. ]
