Human rights and wrongs

[Gob]

A dangerous criminal who has no legal right to be in Britain has gone on the run after a judge ruled that to detain him would violate his human rights.

Failed asylum seeker Kawa ali Azad, who carries knives and is described by his ex-partner as ‘completely unbalanced,’ was granted his freedom from an immigration centre in March. Azad, an Iraqi Kurd, who has six convictions for violence, immediately breached the bail terms of the release by failing to appear at a police station to have an electronic tag fitted.

He then breached a lifetime restraining order by making threats against his ex-partner. Police have had to move her and their son and give them a new identity because of his repeated harassment. Azad, 34, has now been on the run for more than five months – and police admit they have no idea where he is.

They are so concerned about the risk he poses to his ex-partner Tania Doherty that she has been ordered not to visit family and friends and to carry an ‘abduction pack’ with the details and DNA of her son of four, in case he is snatched. Miss Doherty, whose new name cannot be disclosed, says she is terrified he will return to kidnap their son or hurt her family – both of which he has threatened.

‘I just cannot believe he was released,’ she says. ‘I am disgusted. ‘He has attacked me in broad daylight and threatened to kill me and members of my family. I really fear for my son.’

Azad has been convicted of a string of violent offences, as well as dangerous driving, since he arrived in Britain.
When Miss Doherty ended their relationship in 2006, he battered, harassed and assaulted her for two years. This culminated in an attack in which he beat her unconscious as she sat on a beach in Eastbourne with their son before attempting to snatch the boy.

Azad was jailed for 12 months after the attack. Following his release from prison the Border Agency tried to deport him and he was flown to Baghdad airport. But Iraqi authorities refused to accept him and he was sent back to Colnbrook immigration removal centre near Heathrow. He was detained because he no longer had any legal right to stay in the country. When he was at first refused bail from the centre he flew into a rage, damaging a courtroom and having to be restrained by staff.

But in March this year an immigration judge decided to release him against the advice of police and the Home Office – on the grounds that detaining him was violating his human rights.

As soon as he was freed, Azad breached his bail by not turning up to be tagged and began leaving threatening messages on a phone belonging to his ex-partner, thus violating the lifetime restraining order preventing him from contacting her. Miss Doherty says she is furious that, while Azad enjoys his freedom, she and her son are forced to live in fear.

‘Human rights are a joke as far as I’m concerned,’ Miss Doherty said. ‘Having to give my son a new name was the most upsetting part – it was like I lost a part of him. ‘I have had to move away from all my friends and family so I feel totally isolated – all because of him.’

If you're a psychopathic criminal with no UK ties it's, "Hey come on in...." This chap however...

Born to a former officer of the Welsh Guards, Stephen Hewitt had every right to consider himself British.

As well as being able to trace his family lineage back to the 15th century, he was educated, married and employed in Britain.

But Mr Hewitt, 50, who moved to the US in the 1980s, was stunned when he was told he could not return as a permanent resident.



Despite both his parents, his three daughters and grandson living here he was told that his UK ties were ‘not strong enough.’

The decision comes just days after it was revealed former Guantanamo Bay detainee Binyam Mohamed, 32, has been granted permanent residency in Britain.

The controversial move came despite Ethiopian-born Mr Mohamed - who moved to the UK in 1994 - continuing to claim the Government, MI5 and MI6 were complicit in his illegal detention and alleged torture.

Mr Hewitt, an estate agent living in Rhode Island, said: ‘I’m bitter about this. I’m not asking for any benefits or any special circumstances. I will always work. I’m not above doing anything for a living.

‘I’ve always worked. I’ve never taken benefits from the UK or the United States. I’ve always paid my taxes wherever I am at. All my family have said they will support me.

‘I don’t see how you can have any stronger family ties than this. I can’t comment on every case of immigration in England now, but I doubt there are many of these people coming into the country now that have stronger ties than I do to the country.’
