Regarding the arrest of Mr.Shaif, the London police should have mentioned the cause of his detainment , lest, it may send a "wrong message" to the rest of the world.
If his travel documents are original and if he has enough educational certificates then the authorities should allow him to continue his education after making sure of his future intentions/plans.
