Human Rights Lawyers stop our Home Secretary from deporting an armed robber.
An Albanian armed robber has won a court appeal to remain in the UK despite lying about his nationality to win UK citizenship and failing to reveal his conviction. Arsimi Murati, 46, successfully appealed an attempt by the Home Secretary to strip him of his citizenship after he falsely claimed to be Kosovan to stay in the UK and failed to disclose he had served a long jail sentence for armed robbery in Albania. An upper tribunal immigration judge said the Home Secretary had failed to prove that Murati knew about the conviction when he applied for leave to remain in the UK as he had been tried for the crime in his absence. Murati also claimed that his deportation would be a breach of his right to a family life under Article 8 of the European Convention of Human Rights. The decision means Murati will be allowed to remain permanently in the UK. ‘Deport dangerous criminals’ However, the ruling provoked a backlash. “This demonstrates why we need urgent reform of the asylum system and human rights laws to allow the rapid and effective deportation of dangerous criminals,” said a senior Tory MP. Murati arrived in the UK in November 1999 to claim asylum as a Kosovan fleeing the civil war in his country. He was accepted as a national of the then federal republic of Yugoslavia and granted indefinite leave to remain before being naturalised as a British citizen in November 2006. In 2007, the Albanian government issued extradition proceedings against him because, the year before his arrival in the UK, he had been convicted of armed robbery and sentenced, in absentia, to 11-and-a-half years in prison. He was extradited to Albania in 2009 to serve the jail term. By then, he had married and had three children but his wife died of cancer in October 2012, and his children were placed in local authority care. After his release from prison in 2015, he came back to live in the UK and in September 2019 his children were returned to him. Concealed his conviction However, the following year, the then home secretary Priti Patel moved to strip him of his citizenship because he had obtained it through fraud, false representation and concealing his conviction. In his appeal, Murati agreed that he had lied about being Kosovan but maintained he had not gained British citizenship as a result of the false claim. He also claimed he had been unaware of his trial for armed robbery in Albania and that the first he knew about his conviction was when extradition proceedings began. “He further submitted that as the sole carer for his children it would be a disproportionate interference with his Article 8 family life [rights] to deprive him of his British nationality,” court documents state. The court accepted his claims and rejected the Home Office’s arguments on the basis that it could not prove he knew about the conviction and should, therefore, have declared it.
Tony Blairs’s act of signing the Human Rights into British law and then giving the lawyers tax payers cash to fight them being deported. Now he is waiting with Campbell et al to pull the strings when Keir Starmer is elected Prim minister.
I think the people in UK would rather have this young 22 year old continuing to live here. Emma (not her real name) has spent her whole life thinking she was a British citizen. She was born in the UK to a Portuguese mother, she has only ever lived here and has a British birth certificate. So it came as a huge surprise when the 22-year-old's request for a British passport was rejected.
Following Brexit, EU citizens living in the UK were offered the chance to apply for settled status.
Last year, however, Emma realised she had missed the deadline to apply.
She understood she was not officially a British citizen when she applied to be a care worker and needed to show the right to work.
She is not allowed to appeal the Home Office's decision and risks being removed to a country she has never lived in.
"When I got the rejection letter I was basically told how to leave the country," she said, adding that she was "shocked".
"There's a high chance I could be deported to Portugal and I would be separated from my family," E "I would have to start a whole new life.
Apparently at today’s Pro Palestinian demo a man carrying a placard declaring Hamas as terrorists, the Government have called them that as well, has been arrested, don’t care what people say it is double standards policing again.
Liz, the Police said he was arrested as they feared he would be hurt, by angry demonstrators. Double standards. I can't believe the Police are not protecting Jewish people who live in London. For the first time in my life I fear for Democracy.
Norman, I think you have to have a parent born in Britain to be a British Citizen, other than applying to stay. I think this was the problem with the Windrush people. I don’t agree and think it’s unfair. Some had joined their parents as very young children from the West Indies and had never been told to apply for Citisezship.
Mac Hardy, Hockey here is a national sport played on ice with a stick and puck, often there is a shortage of pucks, melt them down in to pucks and give them a good wack with the stick. No offense to the more liberal procastermakers. PS and that's my nice thoughts.
