Kurdish Illegal Immigrants in Taxpayer-Funded Hotel Are Jailed for Machete Attack on Shop Owner

Four members of a gang of illegal immigrants staying at a taxpayer-funded hotel in Bournemouth who stormed a high street armed with machetes and brutally attacked a shop owner have been jailed. The Mail has more.

Hana Hassan, 22; Yosef Shaban, 24; Osama Qadir, 21, and Dawan Mantik, 28 – all Kurds from Iran and Iraq – arrived in Britain on small boats.

The four were part of a larger mob of 12 who ‘rallied the troops’ after a dispute in a nightclub days earlier.

They targeted fellow Kurd Kurwan Ali and his friends at his shop in Bournemouth, Dorset, in a “ferocious and frighteningly violent attack”, leaving one victim with life-threatening lung injuries.

At the time of the attack Hassan was living in the taxpayer-funded Britannia Hotel, which was the focal point of local protests over the summer. 

The hotel has been plagued with violent migrant residents. Last month a court heard asylum seeker Shkar Jamal, 24, threatened a man with a snooker cue outside the troubled hotel – before then skipping his sentencing hearing to eat fish and chips. 

In another incident, a drunken Turkish migrant staying at the Britannia stabbed a man with a broken bottle. Despite the attack – and accusations he was in a terrorist group in his home country – Halil Dal, 30, will not be deported from the UK.

Of the latest gang of migrants to be hauled into court, two of the men, Ahmed Omar and Rahel Omer, have already fled the country. 

As he jailed Hassan, Shaban, Qadir and Mantik for a combined 22 years, Judge Paul Dugdale said their behaviour was, “not what we are about in this country”.

Jailed – at British taxpayers’ expense. We paid for their accommodation and upkeep after they broke into the country; we paid for their arrest and trial; and now we pay to imprison them. At what point can we deport them, since they should never have been here in the first place?
