Mahmood set to change law so Rochdale rapist can be deported

  • Shabana Mahmood plans to change the law to allow the Rochdale grooming gang ringleader, Shabir Ahmed, to be deported to Pakistan.

  • Shabir Ahmed was released on July 2 after serving 14 years for rape and sexual offences against girls, some of whom were underage.
  • Officials found a way to bypass the 1971 law without affecting the rights of other Commonwealth citizens, including Windrush migrants.
