A foreign rapist branded a \u2018danger to women\u2019 has been allowed to stay in the UK \u2013 because he might not be given proper medical treatment in his home country.<\/p>\n
Joachim Cardos, 43, was an illegal \u00adimmigrant in Edinburgh and dealing drugs when he raped a woman at knifepoint and left her fearing for her life.<\/p>\n
After serving a jail sentence for what a judge described as a \u2018violent and persistent\u2019 attack that had a \u2018devastating\u2019 impact on his victim, he was ordered to be sent back to his native Gambia.<\/p>\n
Despite the law stating that \u00adforeign \u00adnationals guilty of serious crimes should automatically be deported, the sex offender launched a human rights challenge \u2013 \u00adarguing that his health would suffer in his West African homeland.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Joachim Cardos told his victim he was going to kill her<\/p>\n
In a move that justice campaigners have called \u2018an insult to his victim\u2019, an immigration tribunal ruled in favour of letting \u00adCardos remain in the UK.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The tribunal agreed that, if deported, the rapist would \u2018experience genuine difficulties being able to access a regular supply of his necessary medications\u2019 and would face a \u2018real risk of social \u00adisolation and stigmatisation\u2019.<\/p>\n
Last night critics said the case showed the immigration system was putting the rights of foreign criminals ahead of public safety or the feelings of victims.<\/p>\n
Scottish Conservative justice spokesman Russell Findlay said: \u2018This rapist\u2019s victim may well despair at the unsatisfactory outcome of these protracted legal proceedings, which again call into question the effectiveness of removing dangerous overseas criminals from our streets.\u2019<\/p>\n
Cardos arrived in Britain in June 2007 on a visitor visa. When his leave to remain expired in June 2008, he stayed on illegally, living in Edinburgh and dealing drugs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dame Henrietta Hill turned down a challenge to tribunal decision<\/p>\n
In October 2011, a 26-year-old marketing executive who had got his phone number outside a nightclub went to his flat in the capital\u2019s Dalry area to buy a small quantity of cannabis.<\/p>\n
When he tried to kiss her, she turned him down but he pushed her into the bedroom.<\/p>\n
The woman later told a trial at the High Court in Edinburgh: \u2018I could just see his eyes widen and his nose flare.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It just looked like an angry face. He said he was going to kill me. He said to me, \u2018\u2018Do you know how many people I have killed?\u201d\u2019<\/p>\n
Cardos grabbed her throat and she briefly passed out. When she came to, she found he was not in the room, but he returned.<\/p>\n
She said: \u2018This time he had a knife. He kept saying I was bad and he was going to kill me. I thought he had flipped or was on drugs or something.\u2019 Cardos then raped her.<\/p>\n
Passing sentence in July 2012, Judge Lord Hardie said there was a high risk of re-offending and \u00adCardos posed a danger to women.<\/p>\n
Cardos was sentenced to eight years for rape and a further three years for dealing a Class B drug.<\/p>\n
Having started his sentence at HMP Dumfries, he was later sent to the State Hospital at \u00adCarstairs, Lanarkshire, after he was \u00addiagnosed with schizophrenia.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was returned to the prison when \u00addoctors found his condition could be \u00adcontrolled with medication.<\/p>\n
In January 2019, Cardos was served with a deportation order \u2013 but immediately launched a \u00adchallenge with the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He argued that the medicines he was receiving to treat his mental health would not be available in Gambia.<\/p>\n
The Home Office offered to give him enough medicine to last three months, plus \u00a31,250 to buy further supplies. He refused the offer and tribunal judges ruled that sending him back to Gambia would potentially breach his human rights.<\/p>\n
They said there was \u2018a real risk that he will experience genuine difficulties in the Gambia in being able to access a regular supply of his necessary medications\u2019, adding: \u2018There is a real risk of at least social isolation and stigmatisation.\u2019<\/p>\n
The Home Secretary appealed the decision but the challenge was rejected last month.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Justice Dame Henrietta Hill said: \u2018The Secretary of State for the Home Department fails to establish any proper basis to \u00adinterfere with the decision.\u2019<\/p>\n
