Three Libyan soldiers have claimed asylum in Britain days after they were released from prison for sexually assaulting three teenagers after going on a drunken rampage, it was revealed today.

Ibrahim El Maarfi, 21, Khaled El Azibi, 19, and Mohammed Abdalsalam, 27, worked ‘in a pack’ on the streets of Cambridge looking for victims to attack, their trial heard.

The three men were among 300 Libyan trainees stationed at Basingbourn army base and have now been transferred to an immigration centre after they served around ten months in prison.

A lawyer for one of their three victims said today that the woman was ‘dismayed’ that the men have asked to stay in Britain permanently.

‘It’s difficult enough to recover from a situation where you’re set upon by a stranger and sexually assaulted,’ solicitor Richard Scorer told the BBC.

‘But if you have to do that in the knowledge that that person has now come to this country and is trying to build a life here, I think that is very, very, very difficult to deal with, and completely wrong and unacceptable.

‘I think it’s a breach of their human rights and really we can’t allow this to happen.’

Hundreds of Libyans invited to the UK for military training were sent home amid claims of rape, drunkenness, fighting and theft.

The cadets – hand-picked by the British Army – were supposed to be given leadership skills to help their war-torn country.

Instead they have been allowed to run amok outside their Cambridgeshire barracks, terrifying their neighbours. British troops have been drafted in to restore order.

Khaled El Azibi, Naji El Maarfi and Mohammed Abdalsalam carried out the attacks while stationed at Bassingbourn Barracks last October.

They have been released from prison and transferred to secure immigration units.

The cadets were among 300 troops being trained to support the newly-formed Libyan government.

They stole bicycles and rode into Cambridge city centre before accosting three teenage women during the early hours of October 26, 2014.

The Libyan soldiers training in Britain have finally been sent home,though not before raping two White people, with one of the victims being a young man.

There have been multiple victims of sexual assaults by the Libyan army while they were here and every single one of them was White.

Instead of blaming the non-Whites for their behavior though, or the British government for inviting them into the country, the army is being blamed for allowing them to escape from the training facility.

Considering that all the way through the war on Libya we were constantly being told about mass rapes that the Libyan soldiers were involved in, why were they ever invited to come to Britain in the first place?

To cap the whole debacle off, now that they have all actually been given their marching orders, at least twenty of them have applied for asylum.

Independent:

The decision follows the charging of five of the Libyan military personnel with a spate of sex attacks in Cambridge, including the rape of a 20-year-old man 10 days ago.

Two men have pleaded guilty to a separate sexual assault which a court heard involved them stealing bikes to cycle 16 miles from the barracks into the university city before indecently assaulting women in the centre by groping them and trying to put their hands up their skirts.

Andrew Lansley, the former Conservative health secretary and MP for South Cambridgeshire, said the MoD had to answer to its apparent failure to put the resources in place to enforce a rule that the Libyans could not leave their base without an escort.

He told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire: “Unfortunately, [the MoD] appeared to be incapable of ensuring that a minority didn’t undermine the whole training programme.”

Acknowledging the criminal charges against the personnel, he added: “The MoD are very conscious of that and it is their responsibility to account for that.”

…

Both the Home Office and the MoD last night declined to comment on claims that up to 20 of the Libyans may have also claimed asylum in Britain.

Two soldiers – Moktar Ali Saad Mahmoud, 33, and 22-year-old Ibrahim Abogutila – are due to appear before Cambridge Crown Court next week charged with rape.

Two other cadets – Ibrahim Naji El Maarfi, 20, and 27-year-old Mohammed Abdalsalam – last week admitted two counts each of sexual assault.

They were remanded in custody along with a third man, Khaled El Azibi, 18, who refused to enter a plea to three charges of sexual assault.

In a statement, the MoD said: “The majority of recruits have responded positively to the training despite the ongoing political uncertainty in Libya but there have been disciplinary issues.

“The UK remains committed to supporting the Libyan government as it works to establish stability and security across the country.”

It is the British government that is responsible for this, not the filthy rapists themselves.  It is their nature to rape, and the government knew that the Libyans in particular are especially prone to rape, and yet they brought them in here to do it and acted surprised when it happened.

If a farmer invites a fox to guard the henhouse, who is responsible for the outcome of that scenario?  The fox or the farmer?

Libyan soldiers being trained in Britain behaved “like a pack” hunting down and sexually assaulted three women in one night, a court heard.

Ibrahim Naji El Maarfi, 20, and Mohammed Abdalsalam, 27, left their barracks on stolen bicycles and rode to Cambridge where they stalked their victims under cover of darkness.

The city’s magistrates heard how they touched the women sexually and attempted to put their hands up their skirts.

Abdalsalam admitted two counts of sexual assault, one count of threatening behaviour towards a police office and one count of theft.

El Maarfi pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual assault, one count of exposure and one count of theft.

A third man, Khaled El Azibi, 18, charged with three counts of sexual assault and one count of theft refused to enter pleas at the hearing on Tuesday (Oct 28).

Cambridge magistrates said they were unable to sentence the two who pleaded guilty and they will be sentenced at Cambridge Crown Court at a later date.

Both men were remanded in custody with with El Azibi whose case will also be dealt with at the higher court.

The magistrates heard how the soldiers – who all appeared in court wearing tracksuits – are based at Bassingbourn Barracks some 14 miles outside Cambridge.

Prosecutor Paul Brown said:  “The most serious aspect of it is there are three males targeting females under the cover of darkness.

“They are like a pack preying on women in the hours of darkness.

“These women were by themselves at night and they were vulnerable.”

Mr. Brown said the first victim was walking on her own at 10.30pm when the men approached her before touching her at “various times”.

El Maarfi then exposed his penis to her.

Mr. Brown said: “She was clearly distressed by the incident.”

The crimes were caught on CCTV and the “pack” was seen to ride off.

They then met two more women who were together and sexually assaulted them.
