A dangerous Albanian mafia boss jailed for money laundering has been allowed to remain in the UK after claiming that attempts by the Home Secretary to expel him breached his human rights. The Home Office sought to strip dual national Gjelosh Kolicaj, 42, of his British citizenship and deport him after he was jailed for six years for smuggling £8 million of his gang’s profits out of the UK in suitcases that he brought onto planes using his British passport. He was described by the National Crime Agency (NCA) as having a “senior and controlling role” in organised crime in the UK. The NCA warned that he posed a threat to the public and would return to crime on his release from prison. However, immigration judges granted his appeal against the removal of his citizenship and deportation on human rights grounds - linkThis is not the fault of the courts, this is 100% the fault of the government. The courts don't make the law, parliament does. These obvious and numerous abuses of 'human rights' law could be stopped if the government did the right thing for this country and withdrew from the ECHR which was penned in 1950 and was never designed to protect criminals and illegal immigrants, but that is exactly what it's used for today. |

Because 45 countries are members you get 45x the case law. These days Human Rights law is one of the most complicated areas of law and also the most expensive to deal with in terms of legal fees and court time. Yes we should ditch it and redesign our law so it is fit for the current time. |

If it's any consolation, and I agree that this man does not deserve to retain his British citizenship, this one was not down to human rights. It would seem that whoever was advising Ms Patel on this one gave her duff advice on the procedure she was required to follow. It would seem the same faulty procedure was followed in another case but the lawyers for the ex-citizens failed to pick it up - what a pity, never mind.
Para 61 et seq.

Yes you're quite right, this particular case is not entirely down to human rights, but the vast majority are. |
