A recent investigation discovered that an Afghan sex offender who “continues to act inappropriately towards females” was not deported because similar sex offending in Afghanistan could lead to “persecution.”
Despite being criminally convicted, the courts ruled the potentially dangerous Afghan should not be sent back to Afghanistan because acts such as public masturbation and “fondling of body parts” in his home country would put him “at high risk of physical violence from mob mentality.”
“[I]f he acts in the manner he has in the UK on return to Afghanistan… the ill treatment [he] is likely to experience will satisfy the definition of persecution,” a tribunal ruled.
The decision, issued before Joe Biden’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan plunged it fully into Taliban control, is not the first ruling centered on supposed “human rights” to put the British public in danger.
In 2020, Scottish judges ruled a Taliban fighter could not be deported because the previous Western-backed government was hostile to the terror organization, and he would be at risk of “persecution.”
He also argued he suffered post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as a result of his experiences in the Taliban — potentially fighting against British and allied forces — with a judge agreeing he might receive insufficient treatment for the condition in his home country.
This individual, whose identity was protected by the courts, had previously failed six deportation appeals, but continued to receive public funding for further appeals until one of them stuck.
