Asylum Seekers Convicted of Rape

Ibrahim Alshafe, Abdulla Ahmadi, and Karin Al-Danasurt were convicted at Hove Crown Court following a five-week trial.

The victim testified that she heard her attackers laughing as she was dragged behind a beach hut in the dead of night.

One of the defendants, an Egyptian national, was revealed to have a prior murder conviction in his home country.

The Home Office has announced it will move to deport the men 'off British soil' once they have served their prison sentences, as the case has sparked renewed debate over border security and the vetting of arrivals.
