The British Home Secretary has apologised after it was discovered that officials wrongly forced immigrants to take DNA tests, to prove they were entitled to settle in the UK.
A review into the matter found that some relatives of Gurkhas and Afghan nationals employed by the British government were among those asked to provide the DNA proof.
