R (on the application of Farrakhan) v Secretary of State for the Home Department (legal citation [2002] EWCA Civ 606) was a challenge by way of judicial review to the ban on Louis Farrakhan entering the United Kingdom. The ban was imposed on Farrakhan, the leader of the black separatist Nation of Islam in the United States, in 1986. He sought to overturn the ban in 2001, relying on the provisions of the Human Rights Act 1998, and was initially successful in the Administrative Court of the High Court of Justice – the first time that an exclusion order had been successfully challenged in court.

  • R (on the application of Farrakhan) v Secretary of State for the Home Department (legal citation [2002] EWCA Civ 606) was a challenge by way of judicial review to the ban on Louis Farrakhan entering the United Kingdom. The ban was imposed on Farrakhan, the leader of the black separatist Nation of Islam in the United States, in 1986. He sought to overturn the ban in 2001, relying on the provisions of the Human Rights Act 1998, and was initially successful in the Administrative Court of the High Court of Justice – the first time that an exclusion order had been successfully challenged in court. The British government appealed and in 2002 the Court of Appeal overturned the earlier decision, reinstating the ban. Farrakhan's solicitor, Sadiq Khan, later became Mayor of London. (en)
