   Rapist's £27k compo Illegal immigrant jailed for rape attempt gets £27K   
   for being in prison TOO LONG while victim gets just £7K   
      
   AN illegal immigrant jailed for a rape attempt will get £27,000 compensation   
   because he was in prison too long.   
      
   It is almost £20,000 more than his victim received.   
   Bashdar Abdulla Qarani, 36, sneaked into the UK in 2005 and racked up a string   
   of offences, including battery, theft and carrying a knife, but was still   
   allowed to stay.   
      
   Then in 2012 he got four years for the South Wales rape bid, making him liable   
   for automatic deportation when freed.   
      
   The Kurd spent two years inside before being allowed out on licence and was   
   immediately locked up again under immigration laws to prevent him from   
   disappearing.   
      
   But Qarani had no ID papers so officials could not prove his nationality and   
   send him home.   
      
   Mr Justice Mott at the High Court has ruled officials failed to act swiftly   
   enough, breaching his human rights.   
      
   Qarani will get the £27,000 payday for being unlawfully detained for 11   
   months until his release last December.   
      
   His victim would have been entitled to only around £7,500 in compensation   
   Tory MP Philip Hollobone, who wants the Human Rights Act scrapped, called it   
   â€œbarmyâ€�.   
      
   Rape victim charity Voice4Victims said that the case showed the    
   €œimbalanceâ€� between the rights of offenders and victims.   
      
   Qarani now has to report to the authorities each week
