Former immigration minister Robert Jenrick has called for stronger border controls following the “farce” which he says allowed asylum-seeker Abdul Shokoor Ezedi to remain in the country before allegedly committing the Clapham chemical attack.
Writing in the Daily Telegraph, the Conservative MP for Newark says the case was a “damning indictment” of the country’s asylum system which he says allowed Afghan Ezedi to remain in the country on the “wafer-thin” claim of having converted to Christianity which would have put him under threat in his own country.
