Title: Man whose deportation was stopped by fellow plane passengers is a gang rapist
Post by: SZonian on October 14, 2018, 09:45:36 pm

An airline passenger whose deportation was dramatically halted by a fellow travellers’ mutiny has been revealed as a gang rapist.

Somalian Yaqub Ahmed, 29, now in a refugee detention centre, was being kicked out of Britain due to his past.

He was being escorted on a Heathrow to Turkey flight but the angry passengers’ intervention forced officials to abandon his transfer.

One was heard to remark on mobile phone footage: “They’re separating him from his family.”

Another could be heard shouting: "You're free, man!"
