UK to change law so ringleader of Rochdale grooming gang can be deported
Bbc ^

The home secretary will change the law so the freed ringleader of a Rochdale grooming gang can be deported, the BBC has been told.

As first reported by the Telegraph, Shabana Mahmood is expected to set out on Monday how she plans to amend the 1971 Immigration Act which currently stops Shabir Ahmed being removed from the UK.

Ahmed, 73, was jailed for 22 years in August 2012 for a number of child sexual offences including rape. He was released on licence last week.

Known to his victims as "Daddy", Ahmed had dual British-Pakistani citizenship but was stripped of the former following his 2012 conviction.

It is not known how long it would take to change the law but one government source suggested it could potentially be up to a year.

At the time of his release, his victims were told he could not be deported to Pakistan due to the 55-year-old Immigration Act, which bars the removal of any Commonwealth citizen who arrived in the UK before 1973 and had been in the country for five years.

After leaving prison, Ahmed was sent to 24-hour staffed accommodation and fitted with a GPS electronically monitored tag.

BTW - its not a punishment. In this increasingly tense environment, they simply don’t want him to talk to anyone in the UK, and want him out of the country.

He can easily disappear / be disappeared in PAK.

And when he inevitably comes back across the Channel on a dinghy then what?

His dinghy should be cut off, right before they hang the rest of him.

Don’t forget to deport the whole gang, UK citizens or not

I’d give him the Japanese treatment. When you go to prison, you are in solitary and you have a single bulb above your head to keep you company. Let him spend his days there.

Use deportations for habitual criminals who are short on rape and murder.

They simply can’t do this.

There are a lot of innocent girls that still need to be raped by him.

That is why they’ve kept him alive.

It’s about ‘Effing’ time. Now clean up the the rest of the Muslims and deport them too.
