Three members of a notorious grooming gang will be stripped of their British citizenship following a court ruling.
Abdul Aziz, Adil Khan and Qari Abdul Rauf were among nine men jailed for offences including the rape and trafficking of girls as young as 13 in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, in 2012.
Theresa May, then Home Secretary, began the process in 2015 by ruling that the men should not remain British.
Court of Appeal judges rejected a legal challenge from the men.
The men, who are all of Pakistani nationality, claimed the decision violated their human right to family life
'Raped callously'
But senior judges ruled that stripping the men of their citizenship was "conducive to the public good".
Lord Justice Sales said the men were motivated by "lust and greed" which amounted to "serious organised crime".
The decision paves the way for the government's plan to deport them to Pakistan after they were released from jail.
If deportation orders are signed against the men they could have a further legal right to appeal, which could take months.
The judge who jailed the men in 2012 said victims were "raped callously, viciously and violently".
"In some cases, they were driven round Rochdale and Oldham to be made to have sex with paying customers," he said.
"All the men treated the girls as though they were worthless and beyond all respect."
Aziz, Kahn and Rauf were given jail sentences between six and nine years but have since been released on licence.
The men lost a previous legal battle to maintain British citizenship in 2017.

The most shocking this about that article is that they have been released already.
Will their victims ever be released from the life sentence this abuse has imposed on them? |

I don't mind them being released. Why should we pay any more to their board and lodging? Military plane, give them parachutes and drop them over the middle east.

why waste the fuel,just one to the head

6, 8 and 9 years for what they did?
That is a disgrace. The judges should be sacked for being too lenient! |

They have been given legal aid to fight deportation – after already receiving more than a £1million to unsuccessfully defend criminal charges.
Aziz, Khan and Rauf – part of a ring who raped, abused and tormented young girls - all received hundreds of thousands of pounds in legal aid at their trial. Advertisement Figures released under Freedom of Information laws show Rauf was granted £282,370, Khan £282,289 and Aziz £195,277 for their unsuccessful court battle. But the figures are set to rise as three of the men are spending tens of thousands of pounds paying lawyers working on their bid to beat deportation. absolutely fooking disgraceful. |

How can that be allowed? Why give them £1m?

The cost to us of all these very avoidable crimes is madness.
No parachutes it is. |

It beggars belief IT, we are such a soft touch, treat our girls like shyte and we pay for the scum to defend their human rights, taxi outside the prison on release day, off to Heathrow, first flight to Pakistan.

Whats the betting "the right to a family life"under the human rights act allows them to stay |

By:
Surely no one married to them or have kids would allow them in the home? Would be a child protection issue also?

If they can remove British Citizenship from these men they can remove it from anyone. Should not be possible.
|

By:
Should depend where they were born. If UK citizenship was given to them, it should be possible to take it away if it is not a birth right.

It's clear in law that as long as one is not rendered stateless by the act of deprivation of British Citizenship, then one is subject to deprivation at the whim of the Home Secretary if he deems it conducive to the public good.
I'm not sure because it's not a speciality of mine, but that would seem to preclude the deprivation of citizenship to those born here who are British citizens. |

At least here's one who won't be getting British citizenship … hopefully.

Aysha continued seeing her partner despite entering into an arranged marriage in Pakistan with Tafham, a cousin on her father’s side, who joined her in the UK in September 2016.
A mum was stabbed to death by her son-in-law after helping her daughter escape an arranged marriage, a court heard. Muhammad Tafham, 31, is alleged to have murdered Rahman Begum, 46, at her home in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, days after her daughter, Aysha, 25, left him to move back in with her long-term boyfriend. Caption: Police cordon on Clement Royds Street in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, where Rahman Begum was stabbed to death on February 7, 2018 Muhammad Tafham, 31, is alleged to have murdered Rahman Begum, 46, at her home in Rochdale Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court heard the couple needed to live together for three years so Tafham could stay in the country but the pair constantly argued and eventually Aysha asked him for a divorce, which he refused. ^ There needs to be legislation to ban cousin marriage. Or at the very least to ban cousins being able to come and live in the UK if they marry someone already here. Its a scam. |
