Britain's Broken Extradition System: A Failure to Protect Victims The recent case of Shabir Ahmed, the ringleader of a Rochdale grooming gang, highlights deep seated flaws in Britain's extradition system.
Despite serving 14 years in prison for multiple rapes and sexual abuse against young girls, Ahmed was released from jail last week due to a loophole in the Immigration Act 1971 that dates back to 55 years ago.
The British government has been criticized for its indecisive response to closing this loophole.
