Criminal Who Burned Woman's Face Can Stay In Britain Because of His Human Rights

A violent foreign criminal who burned a woman’s face with melted plastic and scalded her with boiling water has defeated a bid to deport him from Britain because of his human rights, the Telegraph can disclose.

Valentine Harverye, a Zimbabwean national, was jailed for five and a half years for grievous bodily harm after scarring his victim for life By David Barrett 06 Sep 2013

Valentine Harverye, a Zimbabwean national, was jailed for five and a half years for grievous bodily harm after he “mutilated” and “humiliated” his 34 year-old victim, whom he scarred for life.

The Home Office tried to deport him under rules which say that any foreigner jailed for more than 12 months should be subject to automatic deportation but the 22 year-old brought a human rights appeal, and won.

Immigration judges ruled that Harverye could face “ill-treatment” if he was sent back to Zimbabwe, which would breach Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights.

The Government is proposing to change the law so that foreign criminals cannot overturn deportation by deploying some human rights arguments - but Article 3 will not be curtailed, meaning that Harverye would almost certainly win his case even under the new rules.

It emerged in Harverye’s case that his brother, Matthew, also overturned a deportation bid on human rights grounds last year after being convicted of common assault.

Harverye could face “ill-treatment” if he was sent back to Zimbabwe,

Isn’t that all the more reason to send him back?

After all, his ‘home country’ can dole out the proper punishment that his ‘guest country’ is unable OR unwilling to do.

It’s sad that Britain would subject itself to a nonsensical European Convention on Human Rights when it forces them to keep trash in their country.

Europe is doomed. It seems by the time they wake up (if they ever do, as their guilt seems to be coded in their DNA now), there won’t be enough able bodied men left to fight back against their future Muslim masters.

When it comes to their national security, Great Britian is on many levels becoming the sissiest nation in all of Europe. Yes, all of Europe.

I don’t think I’ll criticize Britain at this point.

I see our future in their present.

Ok he has Human Rights. But doesnt the victim have Human rights too? Doesn't the general public have Human rights?

If he rapes some 8 years olds near Gatwick
and sells them, they will make him a Knight of England.

Why should someone who is inhuman be entitled to human rights?

I don’t understand why he only got 5 years in prison. I’d go for 50 years for someone who intentionally harms a woman who does not pose a threat to him. Then let him choose if he wants to stay behind bars or face the danger of people just like him by going home a free man.
