Lord Ahmed: Ex-Labour peer jailed for child sex offences

Lord Ahmed, ex-Labour peer, jailed for child sex offences. One of the victims has demanded the government strip him of his title.

Muslim Women's Network UK have written to Lord Chancellor Dominic Raab demanding the government strip Nazir Ahmed of his title. Co-chair Shaista Gohir said it was wrong that Ahmed could continue to use his title and its associations of privilege.

"Once he's completed his sentence, he could go up and down the country, speak at events, use that title to influence," she said.

"What kind of message does that send to victims that somebody that's committed such an appalling crime can continue to use that privilege and that title?"
