Another dangerous illegal immigrant being housed courtesy of the British tax payer.
Abdelrahmen Abouelela was in a bomb making cell in Egypt, they were planning terrorist attacks.
He found his way to Turkey where he now has a wife and child.
He left them and arrived illegally in the UK
Home Office officials spent 17 months pondering over whether or not to grant his asylum application, despite apparently knowing of his bomb-making conviction, before he raped the vulnerable woman in Hyde Park last November.
17 months to decide if should be granted asylum……this should have taken 17 seconds and now a poor woman has been raped.
I would love to know how much this man will have cost us by the time he ends his prison sentence then approaches the ECHR and will no doubt avoid deportation.

This is one of many reasons why so many people marched in London.
(155 Posts)The entire system surrounding migrants is farcical. There is far too much red tape involved with lawyers blocking decisions and deportations. No wonder we are the migrants preferred destination. Until laws are changed and we leave the ECHR nothing will be any different. Basically, the UK is stuffed.
Shame on our governments
If that is true Sago I am appalled.
17 months to decide if a wanna be terrorist should have the right to stay here 🤬🤬🤬
Its enough to make you want to weep. No wonder there is so much unrest, marches etc.
And this is the reason why so many are hanging on Farage's every word and why so many dance to Tommy Robinson's tune. There is another post on here with GN's outraged by these 2 characters. Whether you detest them both , having a sneaking admiration for their patriotism or wholeheartedly support them, it doesn't matter because a growing number of people are scared. They see what is happening to the UK and can do nothing about it. They fear for the future. Unless the judicial system changes in favour of the UK and not the migrant then nothing will change and not even Farage and his airy promises will be able to stop the influx.
Couldn't agree more with all of the above. Absolutely shameful.
And people will still find ways with their, what appear to be oh so clever words, to try and defend this type of thing.
With questioning "facts", with scoffing, with , "but look at this that and the other instead", with, "well the other government did and does such and such", with attacks on what the person stating such things is saying, with calls of racism, with slurs on whatever angles they can find.
This man will be subject to automatic deportation. So back to Egypt he goes and good riddance.
Dreadful

Who has defended this sort of thing? I have never seen anyone post in support of rapists claiming asylum. Or terrorist.
OP, it seems insane that his bomb making activities were known and not only was he not arrested but he was granted asylum and the intelligence about his activities shared with the press. Surely this will hinder future investigations?
Where is he now, and what are the plans for him?
Will he be sent back to Egypt though, if he's a Member of the Muslim Brotherhood and was a suspect in bomb making? If lawyers deem he may be subject to torture they'll fight his case. Turkey didn't grant him asylum, more sense. The unremarkable thing about those who, are no doubt a minority, wanting safe haven and then go on to commit a serious crime such as rape, they treat soft touch countries such as us with our coterie of lawyers willing to fight their cases, as a ridiculous soft touch.
Meant to add Muslim Brotherhood is banned in Egypt, will that be grounds not to extradite him there remains to be seen.
Some people do fear for the future, but what on earth makes them believe that chancers like Farage and Stephen Yaxley Lennin will make it any better?
What proof do they have of any 'good' that they have done?

In this case I really do not care where he goes as long as it is far away from these shores…
Here we are
Yes, a person with a criminal record may be able to prevent deportation if they have valid legal grounds, such as a Human Rights Convention (ECHR) claim under Article 8 (for a strong connection to family and community in the UK) or Article 3 (risk of torture in the home country), refugee status. The success of such a challenge depends on factors like the severity of the crime, the length of the sentence, and the strength of the individual's ties to the UK, requiring specialist legal advice to assess the specific case.
Interesting that on the BBC website this story failed to mention his links to terrorism, just the rape.
He was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood.

For those concerned about the length of time it takes to process an asylum claim, the new Minister, can't remenber her name, is starting to act on that.

He has been here for 17 months, not sure that gives him strong ties to the UK
The strong ties are sure,y with his wife and child in Turkey…
What I am very worried about is that cases like this and others are being used to leave the ECHR.
Throwing the baby out with the bath water gets us absolutely nowhere except governments being able to do stuff to its population that the ECHR protects us from.
Deportation should be automatic if an asylum seeker commits a crime in the UK. They should be given no chance for lawyers to find reasons for them to stay here.

Yes I can’t see that he has any strong ties. But I’m not sure it will be fought on that tbh. I think it is more likely to be fought on the risk of torture, which is widespread in Egypt.

That’s what I think, but I am also a strong supporter of the rule of law.

I am torn over the entire leave/stay in the ECHR debate.
It does protect us all however, like you post WWM2 when it inhibits a government from protecting its citizens from the person mentioned in the OP it really is a case of the law is an ass
