spite his conviction.
An immigration tribunal judge agreed with lawyers that his “risky behaviours” would expose him to “ill treatment” and even “mob violence” if he returned to Afghanistan.
Christopher Hanson, the tribunal judge, therefore ruled that the man should be granted refugee status, allowing him to remain in the UK.
As we know, in Afghanistan inappropriate behaviour towards women is practically unheard of. They come down very hard on offenders.
Or, more seriously, it's surely likely that the offender views women as sexual objects because that's the culture he was raised in, and seeing women here uncovered and, by Afghan standards undressed, is too provocative for him to resist. Back in Afghanistan the problem wouldn't arise as any woman who might venture out in public would be covered head to toe in a sack. So, send him back. Problem solved. But such thinking clearly didn't occur to our learned tribunal judge.
