Police Accused of Covering Up Alleged Asylum Seeker Child Rape for Fear of Inflaming Community Tensions

Police in Nuneaton are accused of covering up the asylum seeker status of two Afghan men charged with the rape and kidnapping of a 12-year-old girl, citing fears of 'inflaming community tensions.' The accused, Ahmad Mulakhil and Mohammad Kabir, were reportedly living in asylum seeker accommodations. Local political figures, including Councillor George Finch and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, have criticized this alleged secrecy, demanding transparency regarding the men's immigration status and calling for stricter immigration policies and deportations.
