British legal system paralyzed by an Iranian criminal
Three jail sentences, 18 convictions and 40 offences in a decade and the British Judiciary STILL can't deport a drug addict Iranian criminal because of human rights laws, Daily Mail reports. Davodreza Abasbahi-Gotti, 37, came from Iran to the UK in 2002 and has already had 18 convictions for charges including theft and assault, and has served three prison sentences during that time.
Abasbahi-Gotti's permission to be in Britain was revoked in 2009 but he has resorted to human rights laws to stay in Britain. In his recent legal bid to stay in Britain, his Legal-aid funded lawyers argue that Abasbahi-Gotti is a drug addict and suffers from 'psychiatric' medical conditions like depression. He previously had argued deportation would breach his right for respect to private and family life but it emerged later that he lied about having a wife and two children in the UK. He is also said to have used more than 20 aliases since arriving in the UK, but says this was because of "spelling mistakes" by police.
Abasbahi-Gotti, who lives in a tax-payer funded house in Uxbridge, west London, expressed his gratitude to the government for supporting him during his legal battle to remain in the UK. Abasbahi-Gotti is one of 4,000 foreign criminals living in the UK who are thought to be using human rights laws to fight deportation.
