Why is UEFA, that slammed the US over a Somalia referee, silent about the EU's controversial foreign prison camps?

When the United States of America prevented Somalia referee Omar Artan from entering the US to officiate at the FIFA World Cup 2026, the whole world cried about how the US was such a big bully.

UEFA, a football body based in Europe, took the immediate step of spiting and rebuking the US by appointing Artan to officiate the UEFA Super Cup final 2026 coming up in August.

This in spite of him not being an European referee.

And all well and good that UEFA rose to his defense from the big, bad bully US.

But whilst UEFA is battling the bully abroad, how about that at home, because the premise on which UEFA defended Artan from the US is immigration-related.

And the EU, which UEFA is closer to as it operates in Europe, has passed draconian laws that allow its member countries to create foreign deportation camps outside the EU that some people say are black hole prisons that will aid unmitigated human rights abuses.

So, where is the outrage from UEFA at this unjust EU action that is closer to home compared to the US’ rejection of Artan?

Or is UEFA’s supposedly righteous outrage only based on double standard or just rank hypocrisy?

That’s not really a hard question to answer.
