Deportation of man jailed for more than five years for child sex offences
blocked by immigration tribunal judge

A convicted Zimbabwean paedophile was allowed to stay in Britain because he
would face “hostility” if he was deported back to his home country.

An immigration tribunal judge blocked his deportation to Zimbabwe by the
Home Office because it would breach his rights under Article 3 of the European
Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) which prohibits torture, inhuman
treatment and degrading punishment.

Sarah Pinder, the judge, accepted his lawyers’ claims that, as an openly gay
man who had been jailed for more than five years for child sex offences, he
was likely to face “substantial hostility” from the Zimbabwean authorities.

The man was also granted anonymity

The verdict, disclosed in court papers, is the latest case exposed by The
Telegraph in which migrants or convicted foreign criminals have used human
rights legislation to secure the right to remain in the UK or avoided
deportation in controversial circumstances.

They include an Albanian criminal who avoided deportation after claiming his
son had an aversion to foreign chicken nuggets, and a Pakistani paedophile
who was jailed for child sex offences but escaped removal from the UK as it
would be “unduly harsh” on his own children.
