Immigration authorities in the U.K. have reportedly refused to allow Sholom Rubashkin entry moments ago.
Sources confirm to YWN that Rubashkin arrived at the Manchester Airport, where his entry was denied.
Rubashkin has been travelling the world speaking to audiences about his experience, and giving Chizuk to thousands. He was scheduled to speak this Monday and Tuesday in Manchester, in events that were advertised throughout the community.
Multiple sources tell YWN that one or two individuals in the community informed authorities that Rubashkin had a criminal background, and he was reportedly denied entry on that basis. These individuals were upset that the community was hosting Rubashkin and has allegedly promised to cause problems.
He has so far been held for approximately 5 hours at the airport as Askonim are working on assisting in gaining him entry into the country.
Why??
Why? Are seriously asking this question?
There are crazy people out there all they do is hate.
By UK law a felon convicted of more then 12 months in prison is not allowed to enter the country. They are just following the law. How exactly does that make them haters?
A little more info and a little less ignorance would do you good.
To get you to understand by other Jews going and calling the immigration to let them know makes it evil.
Corbyn could end up being in charge because of all this!
its a muslim terrorist free for all and they wont let them in. and as far as those kapos well how evil is that to do to another yid
Ask for a bracha in the igros or go to the ohel
It will all work out BH
the evil of the AKSHONIM
any update
It appears that the Law in England requires folks with a criminal record to apply for a Visa for entry.
Rubashkin was in London a few months ago and spoke to many groups of people, why was that allowed then?
Mr Rubashkin should have his mezuzahs checked before travelling overseas in future.
And you can be ‘sure’ this is what’s holding up up משיח!
IF I remember correctly he was previously in England not too long ago.
He was just here in the winter and traveled to London and Gateshead too
Correct. It seems some nasty people informed the authorities
When he tried to enter England the first time, he was denied as well
He was here in England and spoke to many people!
Immigration has agreed to review his entry. It is underway as we type !
That’s the difference between the UK, who will have another look vs the states who did what they did and do in the first place
Suddenly becoming self righteous about a Jew who served far longer than the usual sentence for a white collar offense brought on by the bias and anti semitism of the state of Iowa to bankrupt him, while having no such policy to keep out of their country murderers and drug dealers whose sentences were commuted to LESS than a third of the usual penalty. That’s why their country is going down the drain, notwithstanding the efforts of some to try to fix the situation. Let them dig their own graves.
May he get in and speak
He was previously in the UK, though I believe arrived into LHR (LONDON HEATHROW).
Didn’t realise the Mancunians were worse than those in London that tried to stop him speaking there. .
The unadulterated Sinas Chinom is so transparent!!! Did we not just celebrate the day on which rabbi Akiva’s students stopped dying front Sinas Chinom???
Shame on you Manchester Mosrim
It is about time us frummer yidden, the true Torah observant community, leave this country right now.
If you ever had a criminal conviction you will need a visa to enter and are not eligible to enter without one.
he was reported to the immigration department by frum people from the Manchester community.
this is whats horrible
You know who reported him?
Where is he now?
I
live in Manchester and this was all due to some missnagdim causing problems for no reason at all.
We are outraged and upset to be here. in the meantime we will wait until the rebbe and Hashem are ready to let manchester be good enough.
