Woman victim taken from Kent home, despite last weeks Home Office pledge on Forced Marriage
Whilst the Home Office seem to have no ability whatsoever, to deport murderers, rapists, child molesters, and criminals they are able to track down and deport women like, Ms Begum who claims she fled her home country after she was raped and forced into a marriage and believes her life to be in danger if she returns home. In a country, that has accommodated roughly half-a-million new residents, in the last two years, from Europe and elsewhere on extended visas, what harm would it do to allow this woman to stay indefinitely.
I think she is being deported, because she is a woman and therefore an easy target, unlike the many criminals that the Home Office haven't got a clue about.
Now last week we were assured by the Home Office that there was no reason to bring in legislation to protect victims of forced marriage, as they would increase training of professionals, share best practice, insure existing legislation was fully implemented etc. To sum up in my opinion basically do nothing.
In just over a week after the Home Office announced that it was not about to introduce legislation to protect victims of forced marriage, it would seem that they are actively assisting in the repatriation of a probable victim of this crime despite reassurances and I quote Home Office, Minister for justice, Baroness Scotland here "In the future, we will continue to provide information and assistance both to potential victims and to concerned professionals who are confronted by this abuse."
Well it looks as if the Home Office are complying with that statement Ms Begum says she is a victim, they've given her the information that she's going home in the next few days or hours to possibly face death on her return and the assistance to go for a journey that for obvious reasons she shouldn't have to.
