Albanian drug dealer, 38, will not be deported ‘because his daughter wets the bed’
An Albanian man, 38, convicted of drug dealing has avoided deportation from the UK after his lawyers successfully argued that removing him would cause undue harm to his family, with his daughter's bedwetting cited as part of the case. The ruling has reignited debate over how human rights and family life considerations are applied in deportation cases involving foreign nationals with criminal convictions.
The case highlights the tension between immigration enforcement and family welfare provisions used in UK deportation appeals, with critics likely to view the outcome as an example of such rules being stretched to keep convicted criminals in the country. Full details of the tribunal's reasoning were not included in the available article text.
