Reuters Tries to ‘Fact-Check’ Away the Appalling Scourge of Afghan Sex Attacks
It has been less than a week since Afghan national Ahmad Mulakhil admitted raping a 12 year-old girl in Nuneaton, Warwickshire. The crime was first propelled into the news cycle over the summer amidst allegations that officials in the police and local council were deliberately concealing the nationality of the alleged offenders (his co-defendant, Mohammad Kabir, also an Afghan national, has pleaded not guilty to attempting to take a child, aiding and abetting rape of a child under 13 and intentional strangulation of the girl). The grim case is a high-profile example of the link between migration and sex crimes – and the way many of our institutions try to downplay this obvious reality.
After last week’s conviction, many locals of the tranquil market town may conclude that this appalling sex crime shows the risk Afghan migrants pose to public safety, especially that of women and girls. This is a problem our research at the Centre for Migration Control (CMC) has been drawing attention to. Yet today I can reveal that the news site Reuters is set to publish an article suggesting such a conclusion is unfounded. It seems the site is hoping to ‘fact-check’ a viral social media post which includes a chart based on CMC data showing that Afghans have the highest rate of sexual assault convictions by nationality in the UK at 59.23 per 10,000.
But this statistic is correct, and we have the official Government data to prove it. In March the CMC obtained via a freedom of information request a set of never-before-seen conviction figures from the Ministry of Justice (MoJ). It showed, unequivocally, that Afghan males are far more likely to be guilty of sex crimes than Brits. We found that between 2021-2023, Afghans were convicted of 77 sex crimes in England and Wales. This is out of just 13,000 Afghan nationals resident in England and Wales, according to the latest ONS Annual Population Survey in 2021. Dividing 77 by 13,000 gives the astonishingly high rate of 59.23 convictions per 10,000 of population. Many broadsheets, tabloids and broadcasters ran with our research. For the first time, we had official information that showed the huge societal costs associated with mass migration and the high rates of sex offending of Afghan migrants in particular.
It isn’t just these data which show a clear pattern. Figures gleaned from police forces and published by the CMC in January showed that in 2024 foreign nationals were arrested for sexual offences at a rate over three times higher than the national average. In June, a further tranche of MoJ data showed a quarter of sexual assault and rape convictions last year were of foreign nationals, despite them only accounting for 11% of the population.
Reuters‘s self-styled “fact-checker” Chris Harris, however, apparently believes that he knows better than the official statistics. Despite the immense anguish currently being felt in Nuneaton, he has decided it is appropriate – this week of all weeks – to publish a piece that will suggest our research on Afghan sex crimes is misleading or even ‘misinformation’.
The CMC was approached for comment late last night with an imminent deadline for the forthcoming hit piece. Supposedly, the way the CMC has presented its data – data taken directly from the Ministry of Justice – is “false and misleading”. Meanwhile, accredited official nationality statistics from the ONS Annual Population Survey are somehow not sufficiently “reliable”.
This is laughable enough, but the suggestion from this partisan ideologue that his aim is to “help curb the spread of misinformation” really beggars belief. The reality is that it’s anyone suggesting Afghans aren’t overrepresented in sex crimes who’s spreading misinformation.
The case he has put forward against our findings is a fascinating mix of garbled statistical illiteracy and a heavy dose of ideological bias. Rather than heed the words of former department heads at the ONS, IPSO and the Metropolitan Police, who have all corroborated the research methods of the CMC, Harris has concocted his own methodology to produce the result he wants.
It is yet further evidence of a concerted campaign by swathes of the legacy media to deny the British people the truth – to conceal from them what mass migration really means, and what it is doing to our country.
We can see with our own eyes the steady drumbeat of these crimes, committed in every corner of the country and causing long-lasting scars.
In late October, the country heard that another Afghan, Rapualla Ahmadze, had been found guilty in Edinburgh High Court of raping a vulnerable teenager. The monster approached his victim in the early hours of the morning as she sat on a park bench, dragged her into the bushes and threw her on the ground. Savagery enacted on youthful innocence by a man who should not even have been in the country.
Just a day before, the Afghan illegal migrant Shafiullah Rasooli was found guilty in Canterbury Crown Court of sexually assaulting two women in their own homes as he worked as a delivery driver. His defence relied on the cultural practices of his country of origin, alleging that it is a common cultural practice in Afghanistan to grab females by the waist.
And then in June, yet another Afghan, Sadeq Nikzad, was convicted of dragging a young schoolgirl behind a pub in Falkirk town centre and raping her. No remorse was shown during sentencing as he repeatedly screamed “liar” at the judge. Nikzad sought to justify his depravity as a simple case of cultural differences exacerbated by language barriers.
This recurrent reference to ‘cultural differences’ (many would say inferiority) is the heart of the problem, and the very reason why a completely separate study by the Daily Mail – based on FOI requests to all police forces – found Afghans are arrested for sex crimes at a rate that is 20 times higher than Brits.
It is because the norms and socialisation processes of these men are fundamentally different, and immeasurably worse, than those here. Men raised in a nation where women are seen as less than cattle are, of course, more likely as a cohort to demonstrate attitudes and behaviours that these islands didn’t have in the Middle Ages.
It is important to note that Reuters, whose wire service provides news bulletins to the BBC among others, has not reported on a single one of these appalling crimes. Not one. Stories that have horrified the nation were, it seems, were simply not of interest to Reuters.
The country feels at breaking point. The open borders experiment has failed and there is no doubt that radical change is coming. Legacy media like Reuters, trying to fact-check away reality, are the last stand of a dying political paradigm. Their relevance is waning and, bereft of any ideological underpinning aside from vapid internationalism and multiculturalism, these organisations will eventually be swept away. The national conversation has no use for them.
Until that point, though, their grotesque moralising will get ever more desperate. Attempts to circumnavigate the deluge of data showing the chaos caused by mass migration will prove increasingly statistically illiterate, while their attitude towards the silent majority will seem ever more contemptuous. Calling out the scourge of Afghan sex crimes is “misinformation”? Try telling that to the people of Nuneaton.

Fact-checking. Also known as presenting one side of the argument.
In pre-Woke days we called it lying.
Proactively criticizing an article which might be published in future whose content nobody knows yet isn’t exactly a shining example of journalistic objectivity, either.
Reuters does establishment propaganda more than journalism. So no big surprise.
Well, maybe they will. But so far, they haven’t (judging from the headlines of the UK section of their web site since Tuesday). Critizing the article after it has been published – provided it actually gets published – would be more appropriate than criticizing what somebody believes the article will eventually contain.
it clearly isn’t meant to be.
No, it’s known as gaslighting
The reality is that it’s anyone suggesting Afghans aren’t overrepresented in sex crimes who’s spreading misinformation.
The fascinating fact is that yet another specimen of anti-white scum is desperate to minimise sexual attacks on white children. The enemy is very, very deranged.
Calling these crimes ‘misinformation’ or misogyny is redefining them in ideologically acceptable terms. Just as these convicted men attempt to redefine them in culturally acceptable terms.
Both these men and the so-called mainstream media appear to be at one with the redefinition agenda. But who believes the so-called mainstream media in these matters anyway.
Since the Reuters article hasn’t been published yet (as of 2025/11/28, 15:38 GMT), it’s entirely unknown what it might eventually refer to as “misinformation.”
But it is undeniable misogyny when it comes to sex crimes and females are the exclusive target. It’s misogyny because that is what Islam epitomizes, plus within the context of Afghanistan, whereby I don’t think it’s possible to come up with a better example, under the Taliban, of the gender apartheid and general dehumanization of females over there, compared with any other Muslim majority country. Afghanistan really does stand out as the ‘creme de la creme’ when it comes to textbook subjugation of women and abuse of their sex-based, as well as human, rights. Well, they’ve basically got no rights whatsoever, let’s be honest.
Let us not forget Afghan migrants’ other speciality, which is stabbing people, where council worker: Wayne Broadhurst, was tragically a recent victim. Men, women and children are all targets for this particular crime, therefore we can’t call it misogyny. There’s many well-documented cases across Europe, so the data are consistent and findings replicable. I don’t think we need a special focus on Afghans, though. Just ban and mass deport all Muslims and illegal migrants, including revoking citizenship for criminals and their families.
It’s worth adding that it was an Afghan man who shot 2 members of the National Guard in the US, killing a young woman and leaving a young man fighting for his life. The perpetrator was a former Afghan special forces soldier under the US backed regime, it was on this basis that he was allowed into the US. Clearly having once been, or pretended to be, on “our side” means nothing when it comes to their behaviour in the West. How many of the Afghans resettled in Britain after the government “accidently” leaked details of people who “helped” British forces are going to turn out to be criminals or jihadists?
At least Trump had the balls to suspend visas for people who, as he correctly put it, come from Third World countries. This term implies that 1st world countries are better than 3rd world, is therefore completely true in the case of some countries and should once again be widely used. “Developing countries” as an accurate description of some countries but some countries, almost exclusively Islamic ones, are developing and are far more likely to be going backwards.
77 of 13,000 Afghans were convicted for sex crimes means about 0.6% or 1 of about 169. This shows that there are more criminals among the 13,000 Afghans in the UK than among all kinds of other groups, especially, among the native population. But it doesn’t show that Afghans as such are more criminal because the by far overwhelming majority of them (99.4%) weren’t convicted of sex crimes.
Why do the 169 deserve to be grouped together with the 1 just because they all came from the same country?
Touchingly naive. How about the many crimes where they couldn’t find a suspect, or the evidence wasn’t strong enough or the Police didn’t properly investigate? Try thinking outside the box for once.
This is what’s in the numbers and we don’t have anything better. Certainly not your baseless speculations.
I’d say 13,000 is a reasonable sample size. Imagine you are the wise King of England. Do you favour migrants from Germany or Afghanistan?
I’d favour kicking the ass of the guy who was responsible for deciding which Afghans were allowed in. Plus kicking the convicted Afghans out and make sure they’ll never come back. Plus having a detailed investigation into the individual cases to determine if police etc procedures can be improved to prevent such events from occurring again in future. At least in Germany, foreign perpetrators of serious crimes usually already have a history with the supposedly responsible authorities which just took them a lot less seriously than they should have.
But that’s just my layman’s idea of it. It’s perfectly possible that I’m overestimating what can realistically be done here. But in no case would I tolerate something like handwaiving and talking about (unspecific) male violence instead.
Plus kicking the convicted Afghans out and make sure they’ll never come back.
Emphasizing that a little more: This is extremely important. If someone comes here because he seeks protection, he’d better behave himself like someone who’s actually worthy of it. If not, well, when the Taliban chose to nail you to a lamppost, that’s too bad for the lamppost.
Thanks for your replies.
Your proposals may work or certainly improve matters. Sadly they are unlikely to be implemented any time soon.
I don’t know how you could effectively weed out people with criminal tendencies. Maybe do stricter background checks. One could argue that a simpler approach is to adopt a blanket racist approach. I believe that everyone living here legally who has not committed a serious crime should be given equal treatment, but I don’t think the same moral obligation for fairness applies to potential immigrants. My approach is even less likely to be implemented than yours though.
I don’t think such a racist approach would really be needed. The reason why the asylum system exists is historical: Until the begin of the second world war, the Nazi policy wrt to Jews was to drive them out of the country. This didn’t work very well because – by and large – no other country was really willing to take them. We have asylum rights to prevent something like this from happening again. It would be sufficient to cut them back to this, ie, ensure that asylum is only granted to people who are actually politically persecuted and can prove that. Something like “But I’m gay and they don’t allow me to have sex with other men!” wouldn’t count, first, because it’s impossible to prove and second, because the simple answer is “Well, then don’t!” It’s not that this is somehow a vital necessity and it’s certainly also not a political activity worthy of support, either. This is really just lifestyle emigration (or immigration). People could as well claim that they really like to watch BBC and that the TV programme in their home country would be atrocious.
Sure – but you’re an economic or lifestyle/cultural migrant. Would you let you in? Or are you saying that controlling it using some points based system that took into account standard of English, level of education and maybe insisting on a work sponsor would weed out most undesirables?
I moved to the UK because a former boss of mine moved his company to the UK and I believed that being the sole Germany-based employee of a company that’s located in England wouldn’t be a good idea. By that time, the UK was in the EU and hence, I was entitled to move here. Further, the money to pay me always came from the USA and for the last ten years, until it bit the dust in December last year (stopped paying salaries) and ceased operations in April this year, I was reason for “top bracket of income tax” money transfers from the USA to the UK. During all this time, I had to pay UK taxes and UK prices.¹ Since January last year, I’ve been burning through my savings and I’ve been looking for work since May, so far, to absolutely no avail despite I’m highly qualifed and experienced and used to do +40h weeks on a 37½h contract for at least the last 15 years (I worked somewhat more before that) without ever going on holiday (my last regular holiday was in 2007). If anything, the UK has economically immigrated into me without me benefitting from this… Read more »
Sorry to hear that.
Not that we want to get rid of you but would you consider a return to Germany?
The question remains- what would be your suggested criteria for allowing in prospective migrants (beyond the few genuine asylum cases)?
I’m absolutley planning to return to Germany but I’d prefer to do that when I’m about at retirement age, anyway (not that I’ll ever get a pension) because until then, it’s a cost with no clear benefit (save that I’d rather live there, making this some kind of super-expensive perma-holiday)
Regarding criteria for immigrants: I have no idea. Insofar I have political opinions, these are solely for my private entertainment (I’m mostly participating here because it’s interesting and improves my English). Abstractly, I think it should be the exception and not the norm, especially in densely populated countries like the ones in western Europe. But I’ll leave worrying about details to people who are actually responsible for that.
“I think it should be the exception and not the norm, especially in densely populated countries like the ones in western Europe”
Yes I think most here would agree.
“I’ll leave worrying about details to people who are actually responsible for that.”
Those people have got us into the mess we’re in.
All establishment politicians in the UK are members of the church of UN in this respect and believe that immigration is necessary to offset the effects of ethnic suicide by contraception pill¹ of the native population. In this respect, my ideas for Germany align with beyond tolerable far right because the policy I’d like best would be one which encourages and supports families with children in order to stop the native population from shrinking and possibly, get it back to growing. The obvious downside of this is that this would mean a return of land wars to Europe in general because the largest part of it is under control of countries with diminuitive and mostly urban populations like Poland, this being a very intentional arrangement because without the traditional agricultural areas in the east, Germany cannot go to war against sea powers capable of controlling global trade. Hence, my ideas might to be the best for mankind as such 🙂 . ¹ One could argue that this is really ethnic homicide because contraception pills are available for free and there’s intense social pressure to take them all the time, especially during the most fertile years of women because it would… Read more »
I am uncomfortable with the idea of governments trying to nudge people but perhaps there is an exception to be made regarding encouraging what Steve Sailer calls affordable family formation as the shrinking population may eventually pose an existential threat. I like to think that a well run country would have this effect anyway as a side effect rather than a specific goal, but larger families seem to be going out of fashion anyway. I now slightly regret that we only had two children. I hope it comes back into fashion.
Exactly. And just think of all the Afghans & other Third World sex criminals who don’t appear in the statistics, because they have been given British citizenship, and appear as “British” criminals!
for country read culture.
Afghanistan is a tribal country and hence, Afghan culture doesn’t really exist because different tribes have different customs. This also depends on the religion. Most Afghans (estimated 99.7%) are muslims but not all of them.
You obviously don’t understand the statistical basis of Probability.
I didn’t make any statement about probabilty.
A probability is the likeliness that some sort of random selection process has a certain outcome. Eg, if you were meeting Afghans randomly selected from the set of all Afghans in the UK, you’d probably have encountered someone convicted for a sex crime after 85 such meetings. But outside of a deliberate experiment which would be somewhat difficult to set up, that’s never going to happen. It’s also entirely unclear what such an experiment could demonstrate save that random processes are random if repeated for enough times.
The “statistical basis of probability¹” is that if there are n possible outcomes of a random selection process, eg, rolling a dice, and m outcomes which are interesting, say, the number is even, the probability that the outcome will be one of the m is m / n, for the given example, n = 6 (1,2,3,4,5,6), m = 3 (2,4,6) and hence, the probability of getting an even number when rolling a dice is 3 / 6 = 0.5.
¹ Holy grandiloquence, Batman! That’s 8th or 9th grade math!
It seems that the statistical evidence is reasonably clear to indicate that the current crop of Afghan male “asylum seekers” are proportionally more dangerous to British females than are other immigrant nationalities; BUT WHO ALLOWED them to enter the country and then to remain here ?? We should remember to shame & blame those politicians (from all sections of the Uniparty) who facilitated this tsunami of rape and sexual assault. Then we must remember to act and vote accordingly in the future.
It’s one rape per 170 Afghans
The rates of offending are not a total red herring but they are totally misdirecting inquiry.
The true scandal here is not the number or rates of child rapes committed by one racial grouping or another.
It is that – even when they were fully aware child rapes were happening – our soi disant Grown-up overlord technocrat class allowed certain racial groupings of men to carry on raping children endlessly and at will, solely because of their woke cognitive dissonance.
By allowing the debate to wander into statistical sophistry, we are allowing the Blob to do its usual obfuscatory swerve.
During my student days in North London I worked with an Afghan guy. We delivered pizzas together on mopeds for Domino’s. He was a really lovely chap, full of stories, terrible English, but there was one thing about him which always disturbed me – every shift he would talk about sex with goats and donkeys. Quite seriously, too, as if it was the most normal thing. He said he used to do it with his brothers. In another job, I met a second Afghan, younger, in the UK on a student visa, quite different in appearance and behaviour, so I enquired, expecting him to laugh and tell me it wasn’t normal. But he just nodded, as if I had merely asked him to confirm the capital was Kabul.
Horrible & shocking, but your personal experience is very important confirmation of this: Pakistan on top slot in porn-search countries, Egypt ranked two, Iran & Saudi Arabia at 3rd place – Customs Today Newspaper “ISLAMABAD: Pakistan tops the list of most porn-searching countries and leads the way in porn searches for animals like pigs, donkeys, dogs, cats and snakes, according to data released by Google.” “Pakistan is top dog in searches per-person for “horse sex” since 2004, “donkey sex” since 2007, “rape pictures” between 2004 and 2009, “rape sex” since 2004, “child sex” between 2004 and 2007 and since 2009, “animal sex” since 2004 and “dog sex” since 2005, according to Google Trends and Google Insights, features of Google that generate data based on popular search terms.” “The country also is tops — or has been No. 1 — in searches for “sex,” “camel sex,” “rape video,” “child sex video” and some other searches that can’t be printed here.” Also this: Muslim Statistics (Pornography) – WikiIslam “Here are the Muslim countries and how they placed in the top five world ranking of various bestiality-related internet search terms:” For example, “Animal Sex: Pakistan (No. 1) Morocco (No. 2) Iran (No. 4) Egypt (No.… Read more »

Why the spaces in certain words?
They’re needed to get past the automatic moderators on some sites such as msn but not on a site like this that allows free speech rather than just claiming to value diverse opinions.
You’re right, but using the spaces was the only way to get the automatic moderator to accept my comment, after I tried several times to type the words without spaces.
Bacha Bazi boys and beastiality. I mean, why wouldn’t we want men who normalize such degenerate behaviour in our countries? 😮 I read the Taliban ( of all people ) outlawed this ‘dancing boy/paedophile abuse’ thing but apparently it still goes on under their rule. These people are just warped and depraved across the board, I think;

Excellent investigative journalism by Rob Bates of the Centre for Migration Control.
Imagine how much higher the true figures are, considering the hundreds of thousands of Afghans, Pakistanis & African criminals who have been handed British citizenship and are therefore listed as “British” nationals…
Excellent piece telling us what we already know, that the first act of a conquering army is to rape the women of the conquered; and that the establishment media is covering up by spreading misinformation.
But if the author doesn’t tell us who funds his organisation, and who and how many staff it has, we are allowed to suspect that it is nothing more than a controlled opposition aiming to neutralise dissent by creating an illusion of free speech and democracy. Even a ‘red herring’ to divert the attention away from the millions of legal immigrants, the forgotten rape inquiry and, most important, who are the people behind the invasion. I’m not holding my breath that I’ll get an answer esp as The Mail, the No.1 controlled opposition paper, is given as main reference. Nonetheless, I’m looking forward to the 4th Viscount Rothermere’s poodles whimpering at my ankle.
I don’t need a long study to tell me many Afghans are nasty pieces of work, they’re on the streets, that’s enough.
Well said, sir.
I just found this important confirmation on Brietbart:
