Shabir Ahmed, the main leader of a child sexual exploitation network in Rochdale, has been released from prison despite the government's plans to deport him.

儘管政府計劃將其驅逐出境，但 Rochdale 兒童性剝削網絡的主腦 Shabir Ahmed 已經出獄。

The government cannot remove Mr. Ahmed from the UK because of the Immigration Act 1971. This law protects certain Commonwealth citizens who lived in the UK legally before 1973. Although the government took away Mr. Ahmed's British citizenship after his 2012 conviction for rape and sexual abuse, this old law still prevents his deportation. Furthermore, the situation is more difficult because the Pakistani government has reportedly refused to accept his return, which blocks diplomatic solutions.

政府因為 1971 年的《移民法》，無法將 Ahmed 先生移出英國。這項法律保護某些在 1973 年之前合法居住在英國的英聯邦公民。雖然政府在 2012 年 Ahmed 先生因強姦和性侵害被定罪後，撤銷了他的英國公民身份，但這項舊法仍阻止其被驅逐。此外，由於據報巴基斯坦政府拒絕接納其回國，封鎖了外交解決方案，使得情況更加困難。

Many people are very worried about this release. Survivors and advocates, such as former health professional Sara Rowbotham, have emphasized that the probation service may not be effective enough to prevent him from committing more crimes. Some victims were not told about his release directly and only found out through social media. Consequently, there are official requests for the Justice Secretary to expand the areas where Mr. Ahmed is banned to include towns near Rochdale, such as Heywood.

許多人對這次獲釋感到非常擔憂。包括前醫療專業人士 Sara Rowbotham 在內的倖存者和倡導者強調，緩刑監督服務可能不夠有效，不足以防止他再次犯罪。部分受害者未直接收到其獲釋的通知，僅透過社交媒體得知。因此，已有正式要求請司法大臣擴大 Ahmed 先生被禁止進入的區域，將 Rochdale 附近的城鎮（如 Heywood）納入其中。

To manage the risk, the Home Office has put strict rules in place. Mr. Ahmed must live in approved housing with 24-hour staff and is tracked by GPS. He is forbidden from contacting victims or entering Rochdale, and he will stay on the Sex Offenders Register for the rest of his life. Meanwhile, government officials and Members of Parliament are discussing changes to the Immigration and Asylum Bill. They want to ensure that old laws do not stop the deportation of people convicted of serious crimes.

為了管理風險，內政部已實施嚴格規定。Ahmed 先生必須居住在有 24 小時工作人員看守的核准房屋中，並接受 GPS 追蹤。他被禁止接觸受害者或進入 Rochdale，且餘生將被列入性犯罪者登記冊。與此同時，政府官員和國會議員正討論修改《移民與庇護法案》，旨在確保舊法不會阻礙對嚴重罪犯的驅逐出境。

Mr. Ahmed remains in the UK under strict supervision while the government looks for legal ways to close the immigration loophole.

在政府尋找法律途徑以堵塞移民漏洞期間，Ahmed 先生將在嚴格監督下留在英國。
