On March 27, 227-year-old Eritrean men wanted for gang rape in Denmark, crossed the English channel in small boats last October, and were. Granted asylum and benefits in Britain, the attack happened in Arhus in August 2024, where a woman was held captive and assaulted by three men over six hours. Danish police issued an international alert with their photos in September, but a weed in Fikak and Henok Tekliab had already fled to France and then reached the UK. Fikak arrived on October 5 with 973 others, quickly entering the asylum system for housing and support. Tekliab got the same taxpayer help, and neither alert was flagged at first. Critics like Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp slammed the government, saying it shows lost border control as these suspects live freely for months. Fikak was arrested in Birmingham weeks ago, and even argued his family ties should block extradition. Both men are now back in Denmark facing trial after extradition. Tekliab in February and Fikak just this Thursday,
proving that serious criminals won't stay in the UK.
