"Immigration stamps for entry and exit on his passport by Kuan Don immigration office in Satun province was detected to be fake."

He apparently didn't enter through normal channels.

Maybe he used an "agent," to circumvent the usual procedure. Possibly a cautionary tale for those who find them so convenient.B

Being an Iraqi doesn't mean he's automatically a terrorist anymore than would be the case with all the farang who circumvent the rules to get false stamps in their passports.

He should have bribed an imm official before entering/exiting, same everyone else with 'issues' every day.

And you know this happens everyday based on what?

No one is checked on the way out of the UK, and haven't been for many years now.

Maybe in using own passport and out using another identity?

But give the officer credits for job well done.

' He denied all charges ' In that caes immigration plod were wrong. But I very much doubt it. Well done !

If it was a fake passport, how do they know he was an Iraqi? Because he said so?
