'We’re being taken for mugs': Badenoch says ITV investigation proves ECHR doesn’t work | ITV News

Kemi Badenoch says Britain “is being mugged” after an ITV News investigation revealed how fugitives wanted for murder and child rape are being allowed to stay in Britain under human rights law.

The Conservative Party leader said our reporting had further convinced her of the need to leave the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).

An undercover investigation by ITV News revealed how two Brazilian fugitives – one wanted for murder, the other a convicted child rapist – had successfully avoided extradition by arguing that their rights under the ECHR would be violated in Brazilian prisons.
