Why Britain Cannot Deport Rochdale Grooming Gang Leader Shabir Ahmed — Even After Stripping His Citizenship

A legal loophole from 1971 means the ringleader of the Rochdale child grooming gang, released eight years early and rejected by Pakistan, must remain on UK streets under taxpayer‑funded monitoring. Share The release of Shabir Ahmed, the ringleader of the Rochdale grooming gang, has sent a shockwave through communities across the UK. Ahmed, now in his seventies, walked out of prison around eight years earlier than the full length of his sentence , despite being convicted of some of the most brutal child sexual offences ever brought before a British court. He was supposed to serve decades. Instead, he is back on British streets under licence, fitted with a GPS tag and placed under curfew, but undeniably free. Shabir Ahmed, and Adil Khan, lost their bid to keep British citizenship after a failed 2017 appeal, yet Ahmed was still released in 2026 despite Pakistan refusing to take him back.

Meet Ismail Azizi: The Tanzanian Man Who Refuses to Stay Dead—Despite Dying Six Times


The Enigma of Ismail Azizi.  In the remote contours of Ukerewe, Tanzania, there lives a man whose life story blurs the fragile line between the living and the dead. Ismail Azizi, now around 40 years old, is reported to have died on six distinct occasions — malaria, a workplace disaster, a motorcar crash, a snakebite, an accidental fall into a pit, and even a house fire — and each time, miraculously, he has returned to life. 



The medical community remains puzzled; local neighbours whisper of ghosts; and Azizi himself is left hovering between myth and flesh.

To many in his community, his repeated resurrections are no longer wonders but burdens. Each return from death has come with loss: family ties strained, neighbours recoiling, and superstition carving a cold space around him. Neighbours have gone so far as to believe him cursed, others say witchcraft, some a punishment or a sacred sign. 

Ismail Azizi Tanzania

His own home was once set aflame—even as he lay declared dead—yet he arose again. Rather than accolades or sympathy, often there is fear. Rather than community, isolation. And instead of peace of mind, a shadow that death might not be permanent.

Yet Ismail now resides in solitude, living a life that many would call haunted — not by spirits, but by his extraordinary tale. He speaks of his experiences not as shameful but as existential, full of questions: Why him? What force allows this repeated crossing back from beyond? Is it divine, medical misdiagnosis, or something else altogether? His story forces us to reckon with mortality, belief, and what it means to truly “live” when death has become a recurring visitor.
