The actions of Her Majesty's government are illegal, inhuman and political. Shekh Raed's basic human rights are being violated only to satisfy "israel" and it's right wing PM and government. A government that is consisted up of extremists and war criminals that are not interested neither in peace nor in Palestinian rights.
Shekh Raed entered the UK legally. If he is not welcomed in the UK, such a statement should have been delivered to him prior to his arrival to the UK. As a result it is now your obligation to set him free and accept his stay in the UK and not using illegal excuses to expel him from the UK.
I urge you to set Shekh Raed FREE immediately and respect his basic rights as a human being.

Israel and Zionism subvert everything they touch. Britain has to bow to these war criminals because our government is scared to be charged with 'anti-Semitism'. We have to live in shame because a fascist regime has insinuated itself into our daily lives via bribery, blackmail, deadly arms sales and spy software so that we no longer have the will and courage to say stop, enough is enough. The entire US congress has to jump up and down 29 times in one speech in honour of the new leader of the West, Benjamin Netanyahu; and now David Cameron and his Zionist groupies are also jumping to the flick of the Zionists' fingers.
