An Indian national convicted of distributing child pornography avoided deportation from the UK after his lawyers argued that it would be inhumane to separate a pedophile from his children, according to a report from Breitbart.
The man was sent to prison for 14 months for distribution of child sex abuse images in 2021. His lawyers argued that it would harm his children to be separated from their father, under a clause in the European Convention of Human Rights.
According to the pedophile’s lawyers, deporting the migrant back to his homeland would breach his right to “private and family life” under Article 8 of the European Convention of Human Rights. Judge Jetsun Lebasci sided with the appeal and claimed it was “unduly harsh” to have the sex offender removed from the country.
Refusing to deport criminals has become a theme of British rule thanks to the European Convention of Human Rights, despite the country’s exit from the European Union in 2020.
At least 53 foreign terrorists, including ISIS jihadis, would-be suicide bombers, and murderers, have reportedly been blocked from deportation thanks to the European Convention of Human Rights.
One example that drew international outrage online included the UK’s refusal to deport a Bangladeshi ISIS member who was convicted of trying to recruit terrorists for the extremist Islamic group in Birmingham. His deportation was blocked by a court after a lawyer argued that deportation would strip the ISIS member of his free UK healthcare, which would contravene with his human rights under the European Convention of Human Rights.
Another example includes a Somalian national named Wahbi Mohammed. Mohammed was charged with a failed bombing in 2005 that intended to copy a bombing that took the lives of 52 people. He was sentenced to 17 years in jail, released after 13, and the UK refused to deport him.
