Heathrow Airport: Evan Smith

Legal Researchers Dept: The documents, unearthed by legal researchers Marinella Marmo and Evan Smith from Australia's Flinders University, showed that the tests meant to prove that women coming into Britain to marry were virgins had been administered more than 80 times, according to CBC. "We were shocked to see not one case, but many," Marmo said Monday and newly discovered documents indicate that the British government concealed how often it administered so-called "virginity tests" to female immigrants hoping to enter the country in the 1970s on marriage visas. Although the tests first drew condemnation in the late 1970s, the extent to which the practice had taken place was not clear until now. The British government had previously acknowledged only two cases, both done at Heathrow Airport. As reported in the news.
