Abu Wadee, 33, also known as Mosab Abdulkarim Al-Gassas, faces a charge of arriving into the UK without leave or valid entry clearance. He was arrested by immigration enforcement officers after getting off a small boat in Kent on March 6, having paid smugglers £1,300, a previous court hearing was told.

Wadee, right, was then placed in a hotel in the Manchester area. He appeared at Canterbury Crown Court where he spoke through an Arabic interpreter to confirm his name.
