A mind-boggling bit of British dhimmitude. From The Scotsman, :
A GROUP of Afghans who stood trial for a hijacking incident at Stansted Airport have won the right to stay in Britain.
The nine men were jailed for hijacking an Afghan Ariana Boeing 727 in February 2000 but had their convictions quashed by the Court of Appeal last summer.
The Immigration Appellate Authority (IAA) has now ruled that returning the nine to Afghanistan would breach their human rights as they could be in danger of attack from members of the deposed Taleban regime if repatriated.
A Home Office spokesman expressed “disappointment” at the decision and said an appeal would be launched.
