Jamil Ahmed has delayed being deported, on the grounds that it would breach his right to protection from persecution and his right to family life under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).
Based in Scotland, the pervert was convicted of unlawful sexual intercourse in 2008 with one girl aged 13 to 16 and sentenced to a three-year probation order and 240 hours of community service. A second conviction came In November 2013, again for unlawful sexual intercourse with a girl aged 13 to 16 and sexually assaulting a teenager. Jailed for three years and six months and placed on the Sex Offenders Register, he cited a threat of persecution if returned to Pakistan.
Allegedly, international reporting of his crimes makes him vulnerable to prosecution and assault by “religious fanatics.” Two lower-tier tribunals rejected this, but a higher court which ruled his case should now be reheard. Such legal manoeuvring has helped to keep Ahmed in Scotland for more than a decade.
Most recently, Edinburgh’s Upper Tribunal of the Immigration and Asylum Chamber heard that his sex offences were reported in Pakistan, supposedly putting Ahmed at risk of ‘double jeopardy’ prosecution in Pakistan and of having his Article 8 ECHR right to a family life violated by deportation.
