How can an attempted beheading not be terrorism?

News| TWENTY JAILED OVER HORRIFIC SEXUAL ABUSE OF THREE GIRLS IN WEST YORKSHIRE

Twenty people have been jailed following one of the largest child sexual abuse investigations ever carried out in West Yorkshire, after three vulnerable girls were subjected to years of horrific abuse between 1995 and 2003.

The offences took place in Dewsbury, Batley and surrounding areas and involved 19 men and one woman. The abuse included rape, indecent assault, false imprisonment, controlling prostitution and supplying Class A drugs to children.

One of the victims was just 12 years old when the abuse began.

West Yorkshire Police said the girls were repeatedly exploited, sexually abused and treated as commodities by those responsible. Investigators revealed that some of the victims were given Class A drugs as part of the exploitation they suffered.

The investigation led to a series of six separate trials at Leeds Crown Court, beginning in July 2023. The final trial concluded in September 2024, while sentencing proceedings continued into 2025.

Reporting restrictions have only recently been lifted, allowing the full scale of the convictions and sentences to be revealed.

The longest sentence was handed to Ansar Mahmood Qayum, 49, from Dewsbury. He received an additional 10 years for three rapes and two indecent assaults, which were added to a separate 20-year sentence he had already received in another case, bringing his total prison term to 30 years.

Sajid Majia, 53, from Mirfield, was jailed for 28 years after being convicted of five rapes and three indecent assaults.

Manaf Hussain, 51, from Heckmondwike, received a life sentence with a minimum term of more than 11 years after being convicted of six rapes and supplying Class A drugs.

Taria Azam, 57, from Dewsbury, was sentenced to 24 years for five rapes and four indecent assaults.

Zulfiqar Ali, 47, from Dewsbury, received 22 years and six months for four rapes.

Aurangzeb Azam, 56, from Dewsbury, was jailed for 20 years after being convicted of ten rapes and an indecent assault.

Shakeel Haq, 58, from Birmingham, received 19 years for three rapes and false imprisonment.

Rafiq Patel, 73, from Batley, and Zaheed Ali Nousarka, 58, from Batley, were both jailed for 18 years after being convicted of rape offences.
Mohammed Sheikh, 53, from Batley, received 14 years for two rapes and two indecent assaults, while Mohammed Yasin, 52, from Batley, was jailed for 14 years for rape and indecent assaults.

Liaquat Hussain Hanif, 49, from Batley, received 12 years and six months after being convicted of rape offences and supplying Class A drugs.

Ebrahim Mamaniat, 56, from Batley, was jailed for 12 years, while Ibrahim Khalifa, 88, from Bradford, received 11 years after both were convicted of rape oftences.

Shafiq Saddique, 57, from Dewsbury, was sentenced to 11 years, Mohammed Munir Shaffi, 48, from Batley, received nine years, Mohammed Ishtiaq Hussain, 51, from Dewsbury, was jailed for eight years, and Abbas Kaji, 57, from Batley, received seven years.

Donna Lynn, 45, from Heckmondwike, was sentenced to three years imprisonment for controlling prostitution.

Tasawar Hussain, 46, from Heckmondwike, was also jailed for three years after being convicted of rape.

The court also heard that two additional men were found to have committed the acts alleged against them but were ruled unfit to enter pleas due to their circumstances.

Detective Chief Inspector Rob Stevens described the case as one of the most significant investigations undertaken by Kirklees District Police. He said juries had heard shocking evidence of the way vulnerable girls were repeatedly abused and exploited over many years.

He praised the victims for their courage in coming forward and enduring lengthy court proceedings, stating that their determination had ultimately brought a large number of dangerous offenders to justice.

When she speaks, we should listen!

@NadiaWhittomeMP what are your plans Saturday the 13th June?

[Zia Yusuf @ZiaYusufUK]

The fact that the two men who brutalised a police officer at Manchester Airport will NOT face a retrial is a shocking disgrace.

It is a huge miscarriage of justice and they only ever seem to go in one direction.

The British justice system is BROKEN.

Time for changes.

Cathy Newman is a VERY SICK human being.
A man is nearly beheaded by a migrant who shouldn't be here on the streets of Belfast.
She rushes straight to her newsroom computer to blame "far right" Rupert Lowe, Tommy Robinson & Nigel Farage for "whipping this up for their own ends".

[Zia Yusuf @ZiaYusufUK]

Remember, it’s not madmen trying to behead people in the street or police handcuffing white people as they bleed out that causes division.

It’s Reform politicians.

The political class are sick.

A #sudanese migrant abuses this country’s generous hospitality by attempting a beheading in Belfast. How many more medieval monsters are we going to admit to this country?

[Emily Hewertson 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @emilyhewertson]

Genuine question: on what grounds is an attempted beheading on the streets of Belfast not considered terror-related?

[Mary O'Brian @mobfecit]

O'Neill of Sinn Fein insists that "Northern Ireland is not operating an “open borders” immigration system".

The attacker got on a bus in Dublin and got off in Northern Ireland.

How is that not an "open borders" system?

[Hudgell Solicitors @hudgellsol]

Yesterday, at the Nottingham Inquiry press conference, the families of Barney Webber, Grace O'Malley-Kumar and Ian Coates said 'a catastrophic collapse of responsibility' across multiple agencies had led to their deaths at the hands of killer Valdo Calocane.

They collectively called for immediate actions to address failings, true accountability of individuals and institutions, and real change to prevent more lives lost - warning that the findings of the Inquiry, to be revealed next year, must not be ignored.

Today, solicitor Terry Wilcox, of Hudgell Solicitors, spoke to BBC Breakfast, and called for a Government-led, national oversight committee to be formed, and be responsible for ensuring the recommendations of all Public Inquiries and Inquests are fully implemented.

For the avoidance of doubt ...

Alien culture - means, the beliefs, customs, practices, language, values, or way of life of a group that is perceived as foreign, unfamiliar, or radically different from one’s own.

I don't understand why Hilary Benn, Labour MP has a problem with the definition.

Criminal Justice is broken

[susan coates @susanco75931454]

Avoiding the murder trial that would reveal institutional failures at every level. When the institutions fail they close ranks, deflect from the truth. Innocent lives lost don’t matter in the eyes of incompetence. Lessons never learned the repeated mantra of systemic failures

Would have been an opportunity to see you and explain to you our concerns at the Inquiry.
I was at the Inquiry, everyday and every minute to fight for my daughter Grace.
No MPs visited to lend support to the bereaved families.
A bit of a shame and a missed opportunity to understand our grief and concerns.
