CULTURAL ENRICHMENT: British woman enriched repeatedly by three Kurdish illegal immigrants, one of whom was later granted citizenship in prison.

In June 2012 Ibrahim and Nouri appealed against their indeterminate sentences, which were changed to 12 years – but they could be freed in half that. . . .

While 23-year-old illegal immigrant Mohammed Ibrahim was in prison awaiting trial for the rape, he had been granted British citizenship – a process that had been started before his arrest.

Ibrahim has since had his citizenship revoked. The family claim this only happened after they put pressure on the authorities – however the Home Office claims that it occurred automatically because he was found guilty. . . .

The Home Office has said that when they have served their sentences, Nouri and Ibrahim will be deported.

But the Walsh family remains sceptical. Kay says: ‘Having seen how the immigration system works, we have lost all faith in British justice. Who’s to say these men won’t claim asylum, saying their lives will be in danger if they go back to their own country, and end up staying here after all?’
