| Mugabe torturer is given asylum in Britain |
| 2011-05-27 |
| A thug who carried out horrific acts of torture for Zimbabwean dictator Robert Mugabe has been allowed to live in Britain – to protect his human rights. An immigration tribunal found Phillip Machemedze inflicted terrible injuries on political opponents of the vile Mugabe regime. But despite ruling he was involved in ‘savage acts of extreme violence’ – including smashing a man’s jaw with a pair of pliers – immigration judges said he could not be deported. They said the 46-year-old, who is HIV positive, could himself face torture if he was returned home, having turned his back on Mugabe’s Zanu PF regime. Both he and his wife – who was granted asylum – can stay in Britain indefinitely. Machemedze worked as a bodyguard to a senior Zanu PF minister, as part of Mugabe’s feared Central Intelligence Organisation. |

| #5 It would appear that the CIO wouldn't be the only ones looking for this criminal. I wouldn't want to be in his flip-flops. www.newrhodesian.net/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=1905&sid=5fa9a1856d392c0fe191474bf4757a92 |

| #3 by contrast the US quite admirably has banned corrupt Kenyan politicians from travelling to the US and also their families. Well done USA. Posted by anon1 I believe one somehow slipped through. |

| #1 Britain has an unfortunate modern propensity to support thuggery in Africa. eg: allowing British military to train the Kenyan police force while the UN has done something useful for once and unmasked them for terrible corruption leading all the way to the top. Kenyan police take out and shoot anybody they don't like for whatever reason including petty jealousy over a girl at a bar. They do not respect the rule of law all the way up the chain to Police Commissioner. But the British give them arms and training. disgraceful. Here they just continue their not-so-fine tradition. |
