A man wrongly accused of being an illegal immigrant may have been singled out just for being black, an Equality Commission spokeswoman has said.Frank Kakopa has been paid £7,500 after the Immigration Service wrongly held him in prison for two days.
Mr Kakopa, originally from Zimbabwe, was on a short break with his wife and young children in 2005, when he was stopped at Belfast City Airport.
He had proof he lived in England but was still strip-searched and jailed.
