Human Rights

[IAN 2411]

Where does deportation come into it? Should we likewise deport others to Australia or somewhere when they screw up??

I fail to see how you arrived at deporting him to anywhere but his homeland. I might also point out that he was an asylum seeker and not a British citizen. Up until the point of being told he would be deported he had not bothered about his human rights, in fact he never bothered with the human rights of others either. That’s why he run off leaving a 12 year old girl trapped under his car. Just maybe, that if he had stayed and helped get her out she would still be alive now. If you want to live in a country then you must abide by the laws of that country. To be honest, I would have settled for sending him to Strasbourg to live with the Judges he was eventually going to appeal to.

An asylum seeker who fatally struck a girl with his car then fled the scene has won the right to stay in the UK.
Aso Mohammed Ibrahim, 31, of Blackburn, hit Amy Houston, 12, in 2003. He was later jailed for four months.
He faced deportation but successfully invoked human rights legislation granting him the right to a "family life" in the UK.
Justice Secretary and Blackburn MP Jack Straw said he will be seeking to appeal against the decision.
'Extremely disappointed'
The UK Border Agency is also considering an appeal.
Amy Houston was found trapped under the wheels of Ibrahim's Rover in Newfield Road, Blackburn, in November 2003. She died later in hospital.
Ibrahim was jailed for four months by Blackburn magistrates for driving while disqualified and failing to stop after an accident.
The father-of-two was due to be deported after he was taken into the custody of the UK Border Agency.
But the Iraqi Kurd claimed it was too dangerous to return to his homeland and won the right to stay in Britain after a lengthy series of appeals at the Manchester Asylum and Immigration Tribunal.

The man is a killer and should have been dealt as such, a life for a life and life meaning life. Send him back to Iraq. What about that poor girls human rights to live, and what about the human rights of her family.
