Pakistan Refuses to Take Back Rochdale Grooming Gang Ringleader

  • British MP Rupert Lowe criticized Pakistan's socio-cultural norms, linking them to grooming and rape gangs in the UK involving offenders of Pakistani origin.
  • Shabir Ahmed, leader of the Rochdale grooming gang convicted of multiple child rape offenses, renounced his Pakistani citizenship, and Pakistan refuses to accept him back after his UK prison release.
  • UK law prevents the deportation of certain Commonwealth citizens like Ahmed due to the Immigration Act 1971, creating legal challenges for his removal.
  • The UK government is considering using visa restrictions and aid withdrawal as leverage to pressure Pakistan into accepting deportees such as Ahmed.
