Pakistani Paedophile Remains in UK Due to Alcoholism Ruling

A Pakistani paedophile, labeled a 'danger to the community,' has been allowed to remain in the UK due to his alcoholism, as a tribunal ruled that deporting him would breach his human rights under the European Convention on Human Rights. The man, who has been convicted of multiple sexual offenses, including assaulting a girl under 13, argued that he would face imprisonment and inhumane treatment in Pakistan for his alcohol dependency, which is illegal in his home country. The Home Office has appealed this decision, asserting that the man's potential compliance with the law in Pakistan was not adequately considered. The case highlights ongoing tensions regarding human rights laws and deportation policies, with critics pointing to similar cases where foreign criminals have successfully evaded deportation. As the legal process continues, the case will be re-heard, with the Home Office seeking to overturn the tribunal's ruling. Tory MP Sir Alec Shelbrooke has called for stricter measures to prevent dangerous criminals from remaining in the UK.
