He is adamant that he innocently and inadvertently - not intentionally - gave a statement that contained errors. Moreover, this misinformation gave him no material gain or benefit. He had no reason to deliberately make an inaccurate statement, as he already fulfilled all the requirements needed to qualify for permanent residence in the UK. He may now face a jail sentence, as well as deportation. <ref>Peter Tatchell, ‘[http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/libertycentral/2009/feb/23/hicham-yezza Hicham Yezza is yet another innocent victim of the war on terror]’, Guardian Unlimited, 23 February 2009</ref></blockquote>

 Both men say they were confused and traumatised by the experience. Sabir said of his detention: ‘I was absolutely broken. I didn't sleep. I'd close my eyes then hear the keys clanking and I would be up again. As I realised the severity I thought I'd end up in Belmarsh with the nutcases. It was psychological torture.’ <ref>Polly Curtis and Martin Hodgson, ‘[http://www.guardian.co.uk/education/2008/may/24/highereducation.uk  Student researching al-Qaida tactics held for six days]’, ''Guardian'', 24 May 2008; p.8</ref> Yezza has written of ‘the soul-sapping nothingness of the claustrophobic, cold cell … Make no mistake: the feeling that one's fate is in the hands of the very people who are apparently trying to convict you is, without doubt, one of the most devastating horrors a human being can ever be subjected to.’ <ref>Hicham Yezza, ‘[http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2008/aug/18/terrorism.civilliberties Britain's terror laws have left me and my family shattered]’, ''Guardian'', 18 August 2008; p.26</ref> Whilst he was in custody, Sabir's family home was searched and their computer and mobile phones seized.
