A UK immigration tribunal has stunned the public by allowing Hendrix Ekwen, an Italian national convicted of rape in 2017, to remain in the country — despite his initial denial of guilt and attempts to blame the victim. The ruling, based on human rights claims and his expressed remorse, has ignited fierce political backlash, with Reform UK and the Tories demanding the UK exit the European Convention on Human Rights and scrap immigration tribunals to speed up deportations. Critics, including Chris Philp, called the decision “utterly repulsive,” while the judge cited Ekwen’s remorse and lack of current threat to public safety as key factors. The case has reignited a national debate over balancing justice, human rights, and national security — especially concerning foreign criminals.
