Expelled Roma promise to return to France

EU Times — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 10:33:34 +0000

French authorities have said the majority are returning on a voluntary basis

But as the 124 people landed in Timisoara, in their native Romania, many said they planned to head straight back to France.

“Of course I’m thinking about returning to France. Life is better than in Romania,” said 26-year-old Ionut Balasz as he arrived in Romania.

Aurel Cioaba echoed his sentiment: “I was there [in France for] four months with my wife, and if I can’t get by here in Romania I will go back.”

President Nicolas Sarkozy announced the crackdown on Roma in late July as part of a larger “war” on people who outstay their work permits in France. But the programme has sparked criticism, with human rights group saying it targets a single ethnic group, which is illegal under EU law. French authorities deny the claim, saying the programme is voluntary.

France can repatriate Roma, even though they come from EU-member states Romania and Bulgaria, if they are unable to prove they can support themselves.

French authorities have said the majority are returning on a voluntary basis, given small sums of money – €300 (£245) for each adult and €100 for each child – to help them re-establish themselves at home.

Since Mr Sarkozy’s announcement of the crackdown, police have dismantled dozens of illegally installed gipsy camps, checked the situations of each inhabitant and prepared to whisk them to their Romanian homeland.

Nearly 100 gipsies were sent to Romania on two flights on Thursday. Similar flights were expected later this month and into September.

14-year-old British schoolgirl turned into a sex slave by a gang of 9 Arab Immigrants

EU Times — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 19:28:04 +0000

A girl who was abducted at the age of 14 was forced to work as a sex slave. This picture is posed by model

A girl who was abducted at the age of 14 and forced to work as a sex slave was yesterday praised for giving evidence which saw her abusers jailed.

The privately-educated teenager was picked up and plied with vodka and drugs, passed around groups of older men for sex and then forced to work as a prostitute.

Her ordeal highlights previously-aired fears that white schoolgirls are being groomed for underage sex by gangs of Asian men in northern England.

Former Labour MP Ann Cryer provoked a storm when she warned that the practice of arranged marriages helped tempt a criminal minority of Asian men into targeting young, white girls for sex.

After nine men were jailed over the sustained sexual abuse of their victim, Superintendent Paul Savill of Greater Manchester Police commended her bravery and said: ‘This young girl has been through an absolutely horrifying ordeal.

‘The level of abuse she has suffered is almost beyond belief. She has been treated like a commodity – beaten, threatened and sexually exploited.’

The girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was adopted as a baby by a professional, middle-class couple in Greater Manchester and educated at a private school.

She was removed from the school for exhibiting ‘inappropriate sexualised behaviour toward male pupils’, a court heard, and after she twice ran away from home her adoptive parents reluctantly agreed that she be placed in care.

In February 2008 she was picked up in Rochdale by Asad Hassan, 27, who took her to a nightclub.

He and his friends Mohammed Basharat, 27, and Mohammed Atif, 28, then took her to a house where she was given vodka before all three men had sex with her.

The next morning, Hassan, who had given her his phone number, dropped her at a bus station and gave her cigarettes and money, but after being found by her mother she was taken back to the care home.

A week later she went missing again. She met restaurant worker Abdul Rob, 33, in Rochdale and he took her back to a flat where he gave her alcohol before having sex with her.

The following morning she rang Hassan – her initial abuser – and met him, Basharat and Atif who again all had sex with her.

She was then taken to another house in the Rochdale area where she was also abused by a group of men whom police have been unable to trace.

The predators who were jailed: Top row, from left: Asad Hassan, Mohammed Basharat, Mohammed Khan. Middle row: Ahmed Noorzai, Mohammed Anwar Safi, Aftab Khan. Bottom row: Abid Khaliq, Mohammed Atif, Najibullah Safi

The next day, as police hunted for her, the girl took a bus to Manchester and drifted to the city’s ‘Curry Mile’ in Rusholme, where she met Aftab Khan, 30, described by police as a ‘nasty, exploitative individual’.

Khan, who was acquitted two years ago of having sex with an underage girl, lured her back to his house, gave her alcohol, cocaine and cannabis and offered her a bed for the night.

But between 3am and 4am Khan woke the youngster and told her: ‘You’re working for me now.’
He stabbed a door with a kitchen knife and threatened to harm her unless she complied.

Khan then forced her to work for five nights as a prostitute in Manchester.

The girl drank huge amounts of alcohol to blot out her ordeal and even tried to avoid wearing makeup to make herself look too young for sex, but her ploy failed.

On February 28 last year plain-clothed police officers patrolling the area stopped and questioned the girl as she looked for clients but, fearing Khan, she gave a false name and said she was 16.

The officers took the girl to a bus station so that she could go home. But she returned to Khan, who began to ‘tout her round’ groups of men, boasting that he had a girl who was available for sex.

He took her to a block of flats in Hulme where Mohammed Anwar Safi, 30, Ahmed Noorzai, 28, and Mohammed Khan, 25, were waiting.

Safi and Noorzai had sex with her but Mohammed Khan, who paid the money, said he thought she was ‘too young’.

The following day the officers who had stopped the girl recognised her from a missing person appeal and suspected that Khan was holding her.

But by the time they got to his home, he had been tipped off and had sent the girl away with £5.
She returned to Rusholme where she met Najibullah Safi, 32, who plied her with drink and drugs before having sex with her.

Her ordeal finally ended when she left Safi’s house and approached an Asian couple in a car.

Safi tried to drag her away but the woman passenger heard the girl claim she had been raped, and police were called.

In total she is thought to have fallen victim to at least three predatory gangs.

Campaigners say many similar cases go unpunished because the victims refuse to make formal complaints.

However the 14-year-old bravely identified her abusers and gave compelling evidence against them in court, and now nine have been jailed for a variety of offences.

Aftab Khan was jailed for seven years and his friend Abid Khaliq for eight months; Najibullah Safi, Atif, Hassan and Basharat for two years; Mohammed Khan for four years; Mohammed Anwar Safi for 31 months and Noorzai for four years.

In the final case at Manchester Crown Court this week, a judge ordered Rob to be found not guilty after accepting he could reasonably have believed the girl’s claims to be over 16.

Yesterday the victim, now 17, condemned her abusers.

‘These people exploit young girls,’ she said.

‘They feed them drugs and alcohol and tell them they love them.

‘i know because it happened to me and it has changed my life enormously.’

Martin Narey of Barnardo’s said his charity worked with at least 1,000 vulnerable girls a year who had been preyed on in this way.

But he said said there was no evidence of a racial element to such abuse.

‘Those who exploit children in this awful way come from all races,’ he added.

Police detain 4 in France following urban unrest

EU Times — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 06:55:33 +0000

French President Nicolas Sarkozy delivers a speech in Grenoble, French Alps, Friday, July 30, 2010. Nicolas Sarkozy came in Grenoble to install the new prefect after confrontations between youths and policemen, which came after a local resident suspected in the armed robbery of a casino was killed while fleeing police.

Four men, including two minors, were detained in a morning raid Wednesday in the southeastern French city of Grenoble, the site of recent clashes between police and local youth, a police official said.

The unrest in Grenoble has had far-reaching political fallout, with conservative President Nicolas Sarkozy calling for naturalized French citizens who threaten the lives of police to be stripped of their nationality.

Officers conducting Wednesday’s raid were trying to identify the accomplice of Karim Boudouda, a resident of Grenoble’s Villeneuve neighborhood who was shot dead by police following an armed robbery at a nearby casino, a police official said. The official was not authorized to be publicly named according to police policy.

Boudouda’s death touched off several nights of unrest in the neighborhood last month, with dozens of cars torched and an annex of the City Hall burned. Police said they were shot at, though no one was injured in the rioting.

Wednesday’s raid came a day ahead of a visit to Grenoble by Interior Minister Brice Hortefeux.

Sarkozy’s proposal on revoking citizenship sparked heated criticism from left-wing opposition parties. The immigration minister, however, wants to go even further and bring before Parliament a bill that would allow naturalized citizens to be stripped of their nationality for a raft of serious crimes.

Separately Wednesday, Sarkozy’s office said in a statement that the French leader has commissioned a report on preventing juvenile delinquency. The report to be compiled the justice minister is due by late October.

Sarkozy has long had a tense relationship with youth in the heavily immigrant suburbs, which exploded in nationwide riots in 2005.

Scotsman gets 2 years prison for tearing of muslims veil

EU Times — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 16:16:56 +0000

The woman was attacked and her veil ripped off outside Central Station

A man who ripped a veil from a Muslim woman’s face as she walked though Glasgow has been jailed for two years.

William Baikie, 26, admitted racially assaulting 26-year-old Anwar Alqahtani by forcibly removing her niqab in the city’s Hope Street on 27 April.

Glasgow Sheriff Court heard how Baikie, who has previous convictions for racist behaviour, ran off but was later identified through CCTV footage.

Passing sentence, Sheriff Lindsay Wood branded the assault “shameful”.

The court heard how Ms Alqahtani had come to Scotland from Saudi Arabia to study a masters degree.
‘Absolute disgrace’

The 26-year-old, who wears the niqab to protect her modesty as part of her religion, was attacked as she walked to get a train from Central Station.

The force of Baikie’s actions damaged Ms Alqahtani’s niqab and she had to find another item of clothing to cover her.

Sentencing Baikie, Sheriff Lindsay Wood told him that what he did was an “absolute disgrace”.

He said: “The offence you committed was a shameful one.

“You are a man who has a number of racist convictions and you knew full well how offensive the act would have been to the lady.”

At least 50 cars torched by Immigrant Rioters in southeast France

EU Times — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 21:52:53 +0000

Photo taken on July 17, 2010 shows disturbance in Grenoble city, southeast France.

Between 50 to 60 cars were burned out in an overnight disturbance in Grenoble city, southeast France, from Friday to Saturday after police shot dead an armed malefactor who was on his fly from a robbery.

The blaze took place at night at a populous district in Grenoble, the area where policemen killed the young fugitive robber in a shootout during a chase earlier Friday.

Local police have arrested two youngsters, including a juvenile, but it remains unclear whether they were suspects in the car torching case or involved in the deadly robbery, according to French media.

The killed young man, 27, had reportedly been convicted for armed robbery for three times before the incident.

French Interior Minister Brice Hortefeux is on his way to Grenoble to deal with the disturbance, local media reported.

More Immigration for Europe Says Brussels

EU Times — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 06:16:38 +0000

BRUSSELS: EU home affairs commissioner Cecilia Malmstrom is to alter the rules for migrants

BUREAUCRATS are planning to encourage more new migrants to come to the EU despite rising levels of unemployment, it emerged last night.

Brussels officials are to simplify entry rules for workers heading to Europe to take up temporary seasonal jobs in farming, tourism and other industries.

EU home affairs commissioner Cecilia Malmstrom said: “We need immigrant workers in order to secure our economic survival.”

She claimed more were needed to fill “labour shortages”.

But her remarks are bound to provoke new concerns that Eurocrats are determined to press for ever higher levels of immigration.

Last night, Home Office insiders insisted Britain would refuse to sign up to the latest overhaul of EU border controls.

Mrs Malmstrom said: “We know unemployment rates are still very high in Europe. Paradoxically, at the same time there are labour shortages.” She plans to speed up procedures for hiring managers, specialists and seasonal workers from outside the 27 EU member states.

The EU lacks workers in certain sectors even though average unemployment is at 10 per cent, up from seven per cent before the crisis, commission officials said. Mrs Malmstrom – responsible for migration policies – has said the EU will continue to need extra workers in the next few years even though slower economic growth is putting pressure on some EU governments to curb the number of immigrants.

An ageing population and low birth rates mean that migrant labour will be necessary to help EU growth in the long term.

Mrs Malmstrom said: “In light of the demographic challenge the EU is facing, where our active population is forecasted to start falling already in 2013, we need immigrant workers in order to secure our economic survival.

“I will continue to take more steps towards a more inclusive labour migration policy for the EU in the coming years.”

Under the proposals, which have to be approved by EU governments and the European Parliament, companies will be able to bring seasonal workers into the EU more quickly to address changing needs.

Officials insist the measures are aimed at tackling the growing problem of illegal migrants working in a black economy. Thousands, many from Africa, are hired each year to do jobs such as harvesting tomatoes in Italy.

But critics of mass immigration insist that unemployed native workers should be encouraged – or forced through benefit cuts – to take up the work. The new rules would force employers to prove they provide accommodation and set up a complaints mechanism.

And companies would benefit from simplified application procedures when bringing managers and specialists into EU branches of international corporations.

A spokesman for Mrs Malmstrom said last night: “It is up to each member state to decide whether they need more seasonal workers and how many they should take. If they don’t need more seasonal workers, of course that is their choice.”

Europe Becomes Less European With Each New Wave of Mass Immigration

John Western — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 20:02:52 +0000

The rise in forced marriages — estimated to be in the region of 10,000 every year, of which 20 percent involve male victims — is yet more evidence that Third World culture has been imported into Britain along with Third World immigrants.

In a disturbing display of the simple truth that a culture is merely the reflection of a people, and that cultures change when the population changes, the incidence of forced marriages in Britain has risen sharply along with the rise in the number of immigrants.

The numbers are so high that the British Government has set up a special unit, Forced Marriage Unit (FMU), whose sole job is to “combat” forced marriages.

The FMU’s work is of course hampered by the ever increasing numbers of Third World immigrants pouring into the country.

According to figures released by the FMU, the “majority of cases involve families from South Asia, particularly Pakistan, India and Bangladesh.”

The unit says it estimates that there are 10,000 incidents of forced marriage involving “British nationals” each year and that up to 20 percent of the victims are males.

According to the FMU, it received more than 220 messages from male victims in 2009, an increase from the 134 reported the previous year.

Male immigrants are forced into marriages for “family commitments and expectations, securing visas or the desire to control behaviour and protect a family’s reputation.”

Apparently the latter reason means that the immigrant families suspect that the males in question are homosexual.

The FMU went on to warn social workers to be on the lookout during summer when incidents of forced marriage increase as the immigrants visit their countries of origin for holidays. There, the forced marriages are either sought or concluded.

Professionals working with young people were urged to be vigilant during summer, a time when incidents increase.

According to the RMA, victims of forced marriages are compelled or tricked into going back to their countries of origin.

Those who refuse, the FMU said, are “often locked up, subjected to physical and sexual violence and forcibly removed to other countries if they refuse to comply with their families’ wishes.”

The existence of this problem in Britain today is proof that culture and identity is not something which can be taken off like a coat and left at an airport gate, as British National Party MEP Andrew Brons said recently in the European Parliament.

“Third World cultures are like overcoats that can be taken off at the port of entry and replaced with a European cultural overcoat that can be issued with residence and citizenship papers,” Mr Brons said.

“The children of such immigrants are allegedly as European as the indigenous population. They’re not. Distinctive cultures are made by distinctive peoples and not the other way round.

“We are not the products of our culture; our cultures are the products of our peoples.

“Replacing Europeans with people from the Third World will mean that Europe will be replaced by the Third World. Europe is slowly but steadily being ethnically cleansed of Europeans,” Mr Brons said.

New Video: The Colonisation of Birmingham

EU Times — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 20:34:05 +0000

A dramatic new video from the innovative South Wales BNP team under super activist Roger Phillips have produced yet another video illustrating the colonisation of Britain – this time in Birmingham – which promises to be as big a YouTube hit as their other “Wembley” video last year.

The 8 minute video shows how Muslims have colonised vast areas of Birmingham, ethnically cleansed British people from the streets, built mosques, turned schools into Islamic centres and have even started painting “Free Palestine” murals on the walls.

This video is the first documented evidence of how decades of Tory and Labour rule has allowed the British people to be usurped in their own land.

Watch this video, see what is being done to Britain and then join the fight back by supporting, joining or becoming active in the British National Party.

‘Follow the Islamic way to save the world,’ Prince Charles urges environmentalists

EU Times — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 10:37:56 +0000

Outspoken: Prince Charles speaks to Islamic studies scholars at Oxford. He argued that man's destruction of the world was particularly contrary to Islam

Prince Charles yesterday urged the world to follow Islamic ‘spiritual principles’ in order to protect the environment.

In an hour-long speech, the heir to the throne argued that man’s destruction of the world was contrary to the scriptures of all religions – but particularly those of Islam.

He said the current ‘division’ between man and nature had been caused not just by industrialisation, but also by our attitude to the environment – which goes against the grain of ‘sacred traditions’.

Charles, who is a practising Christian and will become the head of the Church of England when he succeeds to the throne, spoke in depth about his own study of the Koran which, he said, tells its followers that there is ‘no separation between man and nature’ and says we must always live within our environment’s limits.

The prince was speaking to an audience of scholars at the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies – which attempts to encourage a better understanding of the culture and civilisation of the religion.

His speech, merging religion with his other favourite subject, the environment, marked the 25th anniversary of the organisation, of which he is patron.

He added: ‘The inconvenient truth is that we share this planet with the rest of creation for a very good reason – and that is, we cannot exist on our own without the intricately balanced web of life around us.

‘Islam has always taught this and to ignore that lesson is to default on our contract with creation.’

Bored: Not everyone in the audience was as interested as Prince Charles though

Impressive setting: Charles spoke at Oxford University's Sheldonian Theatre

Immigrant youths riot in Sweden, burning down school

EU Times — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 20:06:26 +0000

Up to 100 youths rioted for a second night in Rinkeby, Stockholm

Rioters in the Swedish capital, Stockholm, have burned down a school building and thrown stones at police in a second night of disturbances.

The trouble began on Monday after a group of youths in a suburb with a mainly immigrant population were refused entry to a school dance.

Police say up to 100 youths went on the rampage, throwing stones and setting several cars alight.

Two people were detained but later released.
‘Little Mogadishu’

Police said the rioters threw stones at the fire engines, preventing them from reaching the school building before it burned to the ground. The youths also attacked a police station.

Rinkeby is home to a large number of first- and second-generation immigrants. Many of them are from Somalia, so the area is sometimes nicknamed Little Mogadishu.

Government ministers have visited Rinkeby to assess the situation.
