Green Party leader Zack Polanski says it “doesn’t make sense” to deport Shabir Ahmed, a 73-year-old convicted grooming gang leader in Rochdale. Polanski’s comments come in response to calls to remove Ahmed from Britain. According to the reports, Ahmed is serving a conviction for multiple counts of rape and other sexual offences involving girls as young as 13. The coverage focuses on Polanski’s argument against deportation, presenting it as a matter of how the decision is justified rather than addressing the underlying criminal convictions. The article frames the discussion as a political and policy dispute over deportation, with Polanski taking a public position that he believes does not align with the rationale for kicking Ahmed out of the country. No alternative legal outcome is reported in the sources provided, and the emphasis remains on Polanski’s stance and the fact of Ahmed’s convictions for sexual offences against minors.
