Muslim Methods: Kill a Brit, run back to Pakistan

Family fury as speeding driver who killed a jogger 'takes coward's way out' by refusing to return from Pakistan to the UK to face jail sentence

The family of a jogger run over by a speeding driver have criticised his killer for taking 'the coward's way out' after he refused to return to the UK from Pakistan to face justice.

Rashid Ali, 30, was going twice the 20mph speed limit when his Range Rover Sport struck marketing executive Jack Patrick Ryan near Battersea Bridge in west London.

Mr Ryan, 29, suffered catastrophic injuries and died at the scene.

Ali failed to attend his Old Bailey trial and was convicted in his absence of causing death by dangerous driving.

On Friday, he also failed to attend court where he was sentenced to five years in prison.

In a statement afterwards, Mr Ryan's family said: 'The pitiful sentence handed down today to Mr Ali is an insult not only to our family but to all families who experience the trauma of having a loved one's death caused by dangerous driving.

'The leniency of the sentence is made all the worse by the fact that Ali completely avoided his original trial by absconding to Pakistan and has today compounded our grief and his own shame by not showing at court today for his own sentencing.

'Ali has shown zero empathy and zero compassion for our family and by taking the coward's way out at every step of the way he has avoided any accountability which has inflicted even more pain for everyone who loved Jack.'

Mr Ryan's parents Noel and Teresa Ryan, his sister Ciara Ryan and partner Elizabeth Austin said they had been left 'shattered' by their loss.

In a joint statement, they said: 'We all carry the trauma of what happened to Jack with us every single day of our lives. We live with a constant, unshakeable anxiety that the very worst could happen at any moment - because we have had the worst happen to our family.

'As well as losing a son, brother and friend, a beautiful little baby girl will never get to meet her father. Everyone who knew Jack from all areas of his life misses him deeply and we will all forever cherish his memory.'

They thanked those who had supported them, and added: 'Jack was the person who everyone was lucky to have in their life. He was a funny, kind-spirited man with a great love for life and a fierce love for his friends, his partner Liz, his family and his beloved Aston Villa.

'Jack was the perfect combination of a big kid at heart with a sensitivity at his core that made him love and care for those around him so deeply.'

Previously, Ali's barrister James Scobie KC had read out an email in which the defendant relayed his 'great stress' and 'anxiety' and apologised to 'everyone he had let down'.

Despite vowing to return to Britain to face any prison sentence, the court was told on Friday that he remains in Pakistan.

Sentencing Khan to five years in prison, as well as a five-and-a-half year driving ban, Judge Judy Khan said that she had received a letter from the defendant.

'He stated that he does intend to return at some point to serve his sentence,' she said.

'I am unable to accept that assurance.'

CCTV footage of the collision showed Mr Ryan was struck and thrown into the air before landing on the front of the Range Rover on Battersea Bridge on the evening of January 13 2021.

The surface of the road had been wet and the defendant had been travelling at speeds of between 39mph and 41mph in the 20mph zone, prosecutor Philip Stott said.

When Ali's vehicle was about 50 metres away from traffic lights they had changed from green to amber, which would have given him time to stop, jurors heard.

Mr Stott said that the Highway Code clearly stated that an amber light required a driver to stop at the stop line.

Mr Stott said: 'There was no other vehicle travelling so close behind Mr Ali's car that it might cause an accident if he were to stop at the amber light in the normal way.

'He had plenty of time to stop safely and he was, therefore, obliged to do so by the rules of the road.

'Instead, the defendant broke those rules and, in doing so, caused the death of Mr Ryan.'

Following the verdict, Joe Dodman of law firm HCC, said: 'Jack's family have shown incredible strength and dignity in the face of overwhelming grief and trauma.

'Not only have they lost someone truly special in everyone's lives but they have to try and move forward knowing the perpetrator has been handed a sentence far less in duration than most people would naturally expect.

'The fact he wasn't present to face them either in court at the trial or today at sentencing hurts the family even more.

'Those who are convicted of the serious criminal offence of causing death by dangerous driving should be required to face the consequences of their own actions and compelled to face their multiple victims.'

Range Rover driver, 30, who killed PwC marketing executive jogger, 29, while going twice the speed limit faces jail - if he ever returns from Pakistan where he fled to while on bail

A Range Rover driver who knocked down and killed a PwC marketing executive jogger while speeding fled to Pakistan to avoid jail time. 

Rashid Ali, 30, was travelling at 40mph in a 20mph zone when he hit Jack Ryan, 29, while he was out for a run near Battersea Bridge in Chelsea on January 13 2021. 

Ali vanished to Pakistan when he was bailed after his arrest and has not returned. 

Judge Judy Khan told the jury: 'Mr Ali was entitled to leave the country. It was intended he would back in time for this trial.'

Ali made the excuse that he had 'problems with this Visa' to get back from Pakistan, and then earlier in the week it became obvious he was not going to return.

Philip Stott, prosecuting, recalled to jurors the events of that day.

'As Mr Ali drove across the junction in a plainly dangerous way - too fast and against the lights, he collided with a pedestrian who was crossing the road, throwing Mr Ryan high up into the air and causing him catastrophic injuries.

Kammy doesn't believe people eat dogs and cats

Trump appeared visibly irritated and interrupted Harris to call her words a 'lie' before hammering her as a 'Marxist' and 'horrible' vice-presidential pick.

The former president went on to accuse Haitian migrants of 'eating pets'.

Harris could be heard muttering 'What? This is unbelievable' before laughing.

However fed-up residents of Springfield maintain that it's a problem. 

Ohio's Republican Attorney General has now launched an investigation into the influx of Haitians in the town, calling it 'absurd' and 'a disaster'.  

A Springfield resident last month claimed that Haitian migrants were decapitating ducks in public parks and eating them last month

'These Haitians are running into trash cans, running into buildings, they're flipping cars in the middle of the streets.

'They're in the park, grabbing up ducks by their neck, and cutting their head off and walking off with them. They're eating them.' 

Another woman said she’d seen migrants field-dressing roadkill on the side of the highway, and snatching park birds to cook up in “some barbaric stew.”

Allexis T. Ferrell was charged with cruelty to companion animals amid reports she killed a cat by stomping on its head before eating it. 

An Ohio woman pleaded with local officials to make some changes, after revealing that she is being driven out of her home of 45 years because of migrant activity

'My neighbor informed me that her daughter's friend had lost her cat... One day she came home from work, as soon as she stepped out of her car, looked towards a neighbors house, where Haitians live & saw her cat hanging from a branch, like you'd do a deer for butchering, & they were carving it up to eat.

'I've been told they are doing this to dogs, they have been doing it at Snyder Park with the ducks & geese.'

 'Reports claim that people have had their pets abducted and eaten by people who shouldn't be in this country.'

The Vice President dismissed Trump's claims that migrants were eating pets as 'unbelievable'

Many residents of Springfield have said their neighbors' pets or local wildlife were abducted by Haitian migrants.

'Do you know what's confirmed? That a child was murdered by a Haitian migrant who had no right to be here. That local health services have been overwhelmed. That communicable diseases--like TB and HIV--have been on the rise. That local schools have struggled to keep up with newcomers who don't know English. That rents have risen so fast that many Springfield families can't afford to put a roof over their head.'

Many in Springfield have voiced concerns about reckless driving by the Haitian migrant community. 

Springfield resident Jeff Allen told WKEF that he has heard many complaints about the migrants' reckless driving.

'I think the main thing that people were concerned about is driving. The reckless driving, not knowing how to drive and being on the streets, and the amount of accidents that have been occurring, he said.

Shocking practices in Vietnam's dog meat markets

Five million dogs and one million cats are caught and eaten each year in Vietnam

Kittens and puppies crammed into cages still wearing collars, showing they were stolen pets

One of the cats photographed was wearing a bright blue collar

87 per cent of people in Vietnam have had a pet stolen or have an acquaintance whose pet has been stolen in Vietnam.

Meat was processed on top of the cages of live dogs

Workers grabbed struggling dogs by the neck with long metal tongs and beat them

40 percent of the Vietnamese population eats dog meat, while 21 percent eat cat meat. 

One dog the charity saw was clubbed over the head repeatedly and then tossed into a bin

There is a human health risk too as WHO warns eating dog can cause cholera

It is believed that torturing the animals before they are killed, in ways that include hanging, beating, and blowtorching among others, makes the meat tastier.

Rescue workers rescue a dog at a dog meat farm in Wonju, South Korea

Eating dog meat has been an age-old practice on the Korean peninsula and is seen as a way to beat the summer heat.

There are about 1,150 breeding farms, 34 slaughter houses, 219 distribution companies, and some 1,600 restaurants serving dog, according to government data. 

Around 30 million dogs a year are killed for meat in various parts of Asia.

'Nobody knows how horrific it is': Race is on to rescue animals from annual Chinese dog-eating festival where pets are stolen from owners then tortured to death because their heightened adrenalin 'improves the meat'

• An estimated 10,000 dogs are killed and eaten each year at the Yulin Lychee and Dog Festival in southern China
• Before they are killed they are often clubbed, boiled or skinned alive in the belief that adrenalin levels increased by the torture makes the meat taste better

The raised adrenalin levels allegedly 'heighten a man's sexual prowess.'

Thousands of dogs, both stray and pets, are snatched off the streets or stolen from families, and then crammed into tiny wire cages where they are then transported across China to Yulin

It is believed that torturing animals before they are eaten makes the meat tastier

A woman eats dog meat and lychees at the festival. Many Chinese believe consuming the meat over the Summer Solstice brings extra good luck and wards off the summer heat

The dogs are tormented in the most unspeakable ways before being killed with the belief that the heightened adrenaline released due to the pain improves the quality of the meat.

Festival goers also believe this 'improved' meat increases male sexual performance, wards off disease and provides good fortune.

'The dogs are torched, clubbed, boiled alive, skinned alive. It's absolutely horrific.'

It's not just that they eat the dog, they feel the more they torture the dog, the better the meat.'

'It's not just that they eat the dog, they feel the more they torture the dog, the better the meat,' said luxury real estate agent Susan Praver, pictured with her dog Chinglee

Dalmatian Emma Roo was rescued from a dog-meat slaughterhouse in China when she was just eight weeks old - having had both front legs cut off 

'The dogs and cats in these trucks go for days without food or water and when they arrive at the festival they are extremely sick or injured.'

Many of the dogs arrive sick with canine influenza, infections, parvo, distemper and/or parasites.

People have been eating dog meat for thousands of years in China and some other parts of Asia

Kammy and AOC not hearing about it doesn't mean it's not happening

Festival goers believe meat 'improved' by torture increases male sexual performance, wards off diseases and provides good fortune.

Fankuai Dog Meat, a company based in eastern China, has claimed that eating dogs is a way for Chinese people to show their 'cultural confidence'.

Fankuai produces a wide range of dishes, including hand-shredded dog meat, spicy dog meat and dog meat braised in a turtle broth.

Based in the county of Pei in Jiangsu Province, the firm is named after an ancient Chinese general who made his living by butchering dogs in his early years.

Fankuai said a ban on eating dogs would be a 'denial to thousands of years of Chinese food culture' 

It argued that people in various Chinese provinces 'have a history of eating dogs for two to three thousand years', therefore the proposal 'strips people of their freedom of eating dog meat'. 

The annual Yulin Dog Meat Festival sees thousands of dogs cruelly killed, skinned and cooked with blow-torches before being eaten by the locals. The picture shows butchered dogs at a stall in Yulin

North Koreans are ordered to hand over pet dogs for 'restaurant meat' as the country is rocked by food shortages

• Dictator Kim Jong-un announced that owning a pet is now against the law
• Authorities are identifying homes with dogs in Pyongyang and rounding them up
• Some of the dogs are sold to dog meat restaurants 

'Authorities have identified households with pet dogs and are forcing them to give them up or forcefully confiscating them'

Kim Jong-un has declared that pet dogs are a symbol of capitalist 'decadence' and ordered that dogs  be rounded up

Dogs were eaten by some tribes in Africa, where the Haitian slaves originated.

Dogs were eaten in the Cameroons, West Africa.

Dogs are eaten by various groups in some states of Nigeria, including Ondo State, Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Plateau, Kalaba, Taraba and Gombe of Nigeria. 

Dog meat is consumed for ritual and cultural purposes in approximately 20 African countries. 

In the heart of Africa, a daily horror unfolds as helpless dogs, trapped in the clutches of a ruthless dog meat trade, cry out for salvation.

Economic hardships have led to a shocking increase in countries like the Congo. The dogs are transported in trucks and cars across the border from neighboring Zambia. As soon as they are in the Congo the dogs are brutally slaughtered.

The Zambian victim dogs are either homeless street dogs or stolen – many are beloved pets. Once caught, the dogs are crammed into a truck without water, food, or adequate ventilation, in searing African heat, and raced to the border. A few yards inside the Congo they are brutally slaughtered in local markets.

In desperate, futile attempts to escape, they may scream, scratch at the door or howl. The transporters don’t care; to them, these dogs are merely commodities.
