Virtue-signaling has consequences.
“How could ‘bleeding heart’ plane passengers stop my rapist being deported? Young mum whose ‘screaming’ Somali attacker was kept in the UK by Heathrow mutiny reveals her fury at their intervention,” by Mark Hookham, The Mail On Sunday, April 7, 2019:
The 27-year-old mother sitting beside me on a suburban park bench is trembling with a mixture of fear and rage. She can barely suppress her anger as she recalls the moment she watched a video of a refugee being escorted from an aircraft at Heathrow after a mutiny by passengers halted his deportation.
As The Mail on Sunday revealed last year, that man was Yaqub Ahmed, a Somalian who a decade earlier had been convicted and jailed with three others for a sickening gang rape.
Today his victim breaks her silence and, in an exclusive interview, condemns the holidaymakers who stepped in to defend him, ignorant of the horrifying attack that ripped her life apart.
In the video, filmed by a passenger, Ahmed, 29, is seen screaming as a group of people on board bellow at officials to ‘take him off the plane!’
For Hannah (not her real name), those pantomime-style cries were as nothing compared to her terrified screams as she fought for her life during Ahmed’s gang’s attack in a dingy flat in North London in August 2007 when she was just 16.
‘You think that was a bad scream? Try hearing the screams that I made,’ says Hannah in a powerful message to the ‘bleeding heart’ passengers who decided to intervene in Ahmed’s deportation.
And she asks them: ‘How could you defend a rapist? How could you intervene? He was in handcuffs, he was being taken out of the country… who are you people to interfere with justice?
‘Fair enough you didn’t know the situation, but now I hope you feel proud of yourselves because you stopped something that I have waited for for so long: something that made me feel that little bit safer.’
Her four tormentors were jailed for a total of 35 years and, while one is believed to have died after fleeing to Syria to fight for the Islamic State group, she is haunted by the thought of seeing the others who have now been released and remain in the UK.
Ahmed’s deportation would have given Hannah a modicum of comfort, but since the failed attempt to kick him out, her mental health has collapsed.
Already struggling to cope with the complex post traumatic stress disorder triggered by her rape, she is now too terrified to travel more than two miles from her home. In November she quit a job that she loved due to her mounting anxiety and stress.
‘A lot of the time I just feel hopeless, it’s never going to end, I’m never going to get away from it,’ she says. ‘They need to deport him. How have they allowed this to happen? It’s an absolute farce. I thought there was meant to be victim’s rights. Where are my rights here?’
Officials escorting Ahmed on the flight to Turkey last October abandoned his deportation shortly before take-off after around a dozen passengers – unaware of his sickening crime – took pity on him and angrily intervened. The three-and-a-half minute video posted online showed passengers waving camera phones amid a barrage of shouts and whistles. One bearded British man in a blue T-shirt approached Ahmed before telling fellow passengers: ‘He says they’re separating him from his family, his family’s here.’
Another man jabbed his finger at an official and, drawing his finger across his throat for dramatic effect, barked: ‘When he gets to Mogadishu, they’re going to kill him.’
To applause from the passengers, the four-strong Home Office team finally relented and frog-marched Ahmed from the aircraft as one holidaymaker shouted: ‘You’re free man!’
Hannah was unaware of the failed deportation until she read this newspaper’s front page story five days later and realised Ahmed was one of her rapists….
Jean Terry says
England authorities are nuts. This man should have been put back on another plane and shipped out of the country.
revereridesagain says
Those bleeding-heart virtue-signaling passengers should have been thrown off the flight instead for interfering with police business. The filthy little rapist reverted right to his Allahoochikoo-given “right” to rape a kafir woman and screamed like a stuck piggy. But why did they abandon the deportation instead of at least dragging his sorry @$$ onto another flight? Poor Hannah turn to those people for an apology — they would probably condemn her “racism” for objecting to being raped by a Somali.
Rhiannon says
Indubitably!
mortimer says
Virtue-signalling is cheap, uninformed, shallow, unread, unstudied, presumptuous, globalist, leftarded.
J D.S says
Stupidity breeds stupidity and there us plenty breeding going on in the UK
This piece if excrement was handcuffed and escorted by officials…Now that should have sent up so red flag to the passengers that something is wrong .but did anyone question why he was being deported…did the escort officials state why?? I think not which lays the blame on the passengers and officials…What has happened to the Brits? I hope those passengers, if they were Brits, have nightmares about this.
Save Europe says
There is strong evidence that this was a Turkish Airlines plane, and thus the Muslims stood up for another Muslim. That is what has since been reported.
gravenimage says
Yes–these were more apt to be other Muslims than virtue-signalling Infidels.
mortimer says
So … in other words … the Muslim passengers LOVED and SUPPORTED his rape jihad.
The Muslims on the plane agreed that dirty kafirs ‘have it coming to them’ for rejecting the pedophile pirate.
Rhiannon says
Thank you for the clarification.
carpediadem says
Thank you for that bit of info, makes sense.
carpediadem says
Why are they deporting him on a normal plane anyway? Are there not army planes going back and forth to Somalia or wherever they needed to send him?
If they do use a normal plane, there should be a special area for such people so they and passengers do not interact.
gravenimage says
Commercial airplanes are often used for these purposes–but given Muslim support for any Muslims, this may not be possible.
Pete says
Actually she should have been given his kibble and bits. And then he should have been shipped back to country of origin.
Mary says
And pushed out of the plane without a parachute, at 10,000 feet.
Lynne says
She has every right to be outraged. These bleeding hearts should never intervened. How dare they! I’m outraged!
Rhiannon says
You are SO right, Lynne!! He would NOT have been killed if he was returned to Somalia. He would have been considered a hero for having raped an “infidel”. We are heading down the same road if we don’t get Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Linda Sarsour OFF their Congressional asses and boot them out of the Capitol!! Along with any other radical Muslims in Congress nationally or locally. There are too many with ties to Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas. And we need to kick off some Democrats as well. Or we will be as bad as England! Like the Democrats, the English apparently care more about “virtue-signaling” then the safety of their own citizens!!! This poor woman! Who cares about her?!
WPM says
Linda Sarsour is not elected to any city ,state or federal office ,she is a media darling and a terrible person living in NYC but she is not an elected official.
Rhiannon says
You are right. Thanks for the correction. I added her not as a Congressional person but as a person who has links to Hamas and MB. However, my wording was not clear Thanks for the clarification.

As Save Europe notes above, these passengers were not mainly English, but Muslims on their way to Turkey.
John Allan says
It takes all sorts of ar_eholes.
John Allan says
‘… around a dozen passengers – unaware of his sickening crime – took pity on him and angrily intervened.’
And the pr__ks supposedly escorting him let them?
gravenimage says
I’ve seen the video. I doubt these Muslims were ignorant of his crime–they were just fine with his raping an Infidel.
The officers escorting this thug probably did have to get off the plane–the Muslims were *very* aggressive–but this never should have been the end of their deporting him.
Jaladhi says
I think think these moron passengers should have traded places with this rapist if they were so concerned about him. Send all these passengers to Somalia!
Rhiannon says
They should have found out WHAT he was in prison for before championing his cause. Who speaks for the woman who was so badly traumatized and is now all over again.
Jason. says
That’s it feel sorry for that crybaby rapist.Homeland needs to get a fleet of “libtard free” airliners of their own!!!Justice was not served for this young woman.
R Russell says
Yet no one stopped the planes returning failed asylum seeker Christian refugees to the countries they fled from.
UK discriminates against Christian asylum seekers
Rhiannon says
Right, because there are no bleeding heart liberals that will stand up to defend Christians from being deported. They hate Christians.

UK rape victim denounces plane passengers who stopped deportation of her Muslim migrant rapist
…………………..
She has every right to be angry.
As noted, though, most of those who stopped his deportation were likely Muslims themselves. British authorities never should have tried to use Turkish Airlines. Many Infidel airlines make this trip.
Lydia Church says
This is a perfect example of how blind, naive, stupid, and obliviously anti-justice these leftist snowflakes actually are! They rob justice and think they have done us a service. They are blind fools!
Andy says
One more shovel-full of dirt in the West’s digging its own grave.

The “West” is dying, by self-inflicted suicide.

Terra Nova says
The UK is the worst, they really need to leave the EU, but the EU itself is as crazy, we all need to get out of that ego, waisting money body, which only looks out for itself, but the citizens of the UK brought it all on themselves, so did the rest of the European Governments.
It is a total mad crazy world, insane !!!
UNCLE VLADDI says
For resisting a rapist-of-color, the left will call her a white racist.
