A CONVICTED drug dealer who dodged deportation was given £15,000 in taxpayers’ cash for a legal bid — saying he had to stay in Britain to teach his son about Islam.
Muhammad Asif Karim, 43, was caught with heroin and cocaine, and later got a deportation order to Pakistan after 21 offences.
But he appealed to overturn this under article eight of the European Convention on Human Rights, the right to family life.
Despite seeing his half-British son only twice a month, the boy told a court in Edinburgh that his dad was able to teach him about his culture and religion.
Karim won in May.
A Freedom of Information request by The Sun revealed he got £15,341 in legal aid.
Prof Richard Ekins KC, of Policy Exchange, last night said: “It should be a public scandal that another foreigner convicted of a string of serious crimes is able to weaponise human rights law to frustrate his deportation, at public expense no less.
“Radical reform of human rights law is required to put a stop to this kind of structural attack on the integrity of our immigration law.”
