Home Office blunder sees materials scientist told to 'leave the UK'

The Home Office has had to apologise to a research scientist who was mistakenly told to ‘take immediate steps to leave the UK’. The Home Office letter was sent to Mohsen Danaie, who holds dual Canadian–Iranian citizenship and is an electron microscopist at the electron physical science imaging centre (ePSIC) at the UK’s Diamond synchrotron in Oxfordshire.
