I guess its the right thing to do, but damn this one really makes me think on my morales.
It does make you wonder if the Taliban deal with rapists better than we do.
Oddly enough, the penalty for raping someone is going to prison. That’s what happened in this case.
Remember the phrase don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time?
It’s not don’t do the crime if you don’t want to be shipped off to a country where they will likely murder you.
I get everyone hates a foreigner but I don’t really know why this warrants spam posting in every UK related sub.
Controversial topic but, if a judge deems he is likely to be killed if deported, then the judge would be handing out a death penalty by proxy in doing so – which obviously we don’t allow under our legal system (although obviously its natural for most people including me to think fuck this guy throw him to the wolves).
When he was given indefinite leave to remain here, that comes with the good and the bad. So the taxpayer loses by keeping this guy locked away, but in theory we have to trust our own legal system to maintain public safety after this guy has been convicted, released when safe etc…just as any other UK resident. We took the burden on already by letting him in, that’s how I see it. The real topic at hand is why did he get released after 5 years, and is the judge truly sure he poses no threat?
Funny though that our country will revoke actual citizenship in instances like Shamima Begum, born here but groomed as a child to work for IS, and not allowed back, but then in cases such as this, a non citizen is protected and allowed to remain. I know the cases are not really alike but the treatment of them seems kinda illogical side by side.
Easier to just keep people where they are I guess.
This is the kind of case the Tories will point to to get people to support their “we can revoke citizenship at will” thing, even though he’s not a citizen.
The Taliban don’t recognise the UK legal system as it isn’t based on sharia laws. At worse, they would hold their own trial of the bloke. My understanding is that there would be insufficient evidence of the standard required by the Taliban court to convict him let alone bring a case so he would be freed.
I honestly believe he would not be in danger of death if he were deported.
I’m not a Muslim so I’m hoping some of the Muslim redditors might confirm or deny this.
Obvious Daily Mail clickbait outrage headline.
When you actually take a second to think about it rationally, it’s absolutely right. The sentence for rape is prison, not death.
This has already been posted on UK pol and is the echo chamber cess pit you might expect. Pretty sick how some try to politicise this to whinge about refugees.
The more obvious problem here is the crappy short sentencing he recieved.
We take a dim view too. No one takes a bright view with a working brain of a rapist.
He should get a long sentence, no relase and no cushty extras. We owe him no more than basic essentials to feed, clothe and keep alive.
We took him in, helped him and this is how you repay our kindness?
No. We gave you kindness, now you get the minium civilised nations offer.
These are the same filth that do bacha bazi(child abuse of young boys) in afghanistan.
He should sent to panjshir where he came from so the talibs can sort him out.
Time to get rid of this law. Foreign criminals go back and what happens to them is none of our business.

So gets seven years for rape is out after five even though social services still think he poses a significant risk to women. Can’t deport him which I don’t really agree with but it is what it is. So why is he free if he’s still a threat to women ?
Regardless of your stance on deportation, refusing to deport someone to somewhere they might be executed is the obviously correct decision by the judge. Deporting them would just be an attempt at a death sentence by proxy (and for everyone saying he wouldn’t be killed, where did you learn to see the future and know precisely how these events will play out? Not to mention, he was already a refugee fleeing their rule, was he not?) and we do not punish rape with death. This is just outrage bait.
The Taliban take a dim view of rapist. I read this in disbelief clearly rape is not taken seriously in our legal system
There is a reason that it is judges that make these decisions and not conservative politicians and Daily Mail readers.
The judge is right here, and as usual the mail is being incredibly sensationalist. We don’t believe in the death penalty here, and sending him back would be just that. People get way too emotional about the justice system.
“He was convicted of rape and jailed for seven years. The sentence was later reduced to five years on appeal, although reports by social workers said he continued to pose a high risk to women.” Says it all deportation should be made…
But instead as an award for his crime – he recieves right to reside /citizenship. Its ok for people in britain to be his victims, yet its not ok for him to end up being victim under Taliban. Whats wrong with justice system?
It’s one of those ridiculous stories that comes along.
If an immigrant really didn’t want to be deported whilst living in the UK, he probably should have considered that before raping someone…He should be deported like all immigrants convicted of serious offences are supposed to be. What happens in his nation is none of our business.
Ummm. We sure they wouldn’t just give him a job and send him to the nearest women’s refuge?
that’s interesting because everyone I know takes a dim view of sex offenders. What’s the judge’s problem I wonder?
