A Somali
paedophile has been given thousands of pounds by a human rights court – and
released on to the streets.
Ministers
have spent more than a decade trying and failing to deport Mustafa Abdi, who is
thought to have cost taxpayers more than £600,000 in jail costs and legal aid.
But
yesterday Strasbourg judges ordered the British government to pay the convicted
child rapist thousands of pounds in damages and legal costs.
The court
said Abdi was ‘wrongfully detained’ for two and a half years, breaching his
right to liberty.
Ministers
had decided he should remain in jail while awaiting deportation because he
presented a ‘high risk’ to the public. But it emerged he was released from
prison in January this year because there was no prospect of him being deported
any time soon.
He has spent
around 13 years in jail and received tens of thousands of pounds in legal aid to
help him thwart deportation.
Last night
Home Office officials were still insisting they would ‘continue to seek to
deport’ him – despite having failed to do so since 2002.
Abdi, who
was born in 1975, arrived in Britain in May 1995. His asylum claim was
rejected, but he was given leave to remain in Britain until February 2000. - Mail Online
When our legal systems can be bent to the will of abusers, then how can we hope for justice?
A legal system that allows a paedophile to be released on a technicality does not honour justice.
A legal system that allows a murderer to be released on a technicality does not honour justice.
A legal system that can be twisted or tricked in any way that allows an abuser to be released, does not honour justice.
A legal system that functions according to the principle of "he who has the most expensive lawyer is most likely to be victorious" does not honour justice.
A legal system that accepts laws to be vague so that they require interpretation instead of simply being understood by all, does not honour justice.
A legal system that allows any laws that allow any form of abuse does not honour justice.
A legal system that operates according to precedence instead of honouring life and common sense, does not honour justice.
A legal system that allows any form of manipulation, emotional or otherwise, does not honour justice.
A legal system that is concerned over "privacy violations" and "alleged wrongdoings" instead of the massive abuse of life that takes place every day in every corner of the world, does not honour justice.
If we look at how our legal systems really function, it is easy to see that they have nothing to do with justice and everything to do with protecting asses - mostly rich asses. The asses make laws either to try to evade losing their status, or to enhance their status. If those who designed the laws were truly concerned about the well being of all beings, there would be no need for interpretation, manipulation of any kind would not be allowed and the laws would reflect the sentiment of all life being respected equally.
