Independent report into grooming gangs in UK says majority of perpetrators from Pakistan

LONDON: An independent report into grooming gangs in UK reveals that the majority of the perpetrators were Pakistani Muslims. At least 250,000 white British girls - some as young as 11 - have been subjected to gang rape, trafficking, pregnancy and forced Islamic conversion in the UK since the 1950s, it states.MP Rupert Lowe's report covers how the perpetrators, "mostly Pakistanis", built operations which trafficked girls between locations, supplied them with drugs and alcohol, passed them between multiple men and filmed abuse for blackmail. Lowe, the leader of Restore Britain, which has backing from Elon Musk, has vowed to commence legal action against the perpetrators.He said he had to set up his own survivor-led inquiry, the "Rape Gang Inquiry", because "the state and its institutions have failed catastrophically over decades.

Police, social services, schools, the NHS, taxi licensing authorities, and govts allowed these gangs to operate with impunity".The report states: "The overwhelming majority of the rape gang networks consisted entirely of men from Muslim backgrounds - predominantly of Pakistani heritage, although smaller groups from Somali, Iranian, Syrian, Turkish and other Muslim origins were involved too." "Successive govts lacked the will to confront the ethnic and religious patterns.

The Labour party has particular responsibility," it says, saying the party "prioritised electoral reliance on Muslim voting blocs" and "framed legitimate concerns as far-right agitation".Based on court records and witness testimonies, it describes how Muslim men would initially befriend the girls, and after a few months they were taken to flats and hotels where they were raped repeatedly by gangs and told they were "white trash" or "kuffar (plural for kafir)".

Many became pregnant. Some gave birth and their children were removed by the state. "The same networks targeted Sikh girls until Sikh communities mobilised collective male protection and forced the gangs to withdraw," it states.

The report calls for sentencing for such crimes to start at life imprisonment with a minimum of 50 years, and for the death penalty to be reintroduced.It calls for every foreign national convicted of being part of a rape gang to be deported and any British citizen convicted who holds dual nationality to lose their citizenship, and for visas to be denied to nationals from countries disproportionately represented in convictions. "Mosques that harboured perpetrators must face probe and, if found guilty, be closed," it says and calls for a govt task force to be set up to trace and repatriate white girls trafficked by these men.
