CHILDREN AS YOUNG AS 12 WERE BEING GANG RAPED AND SOLD BY PAKISTANI MEN
IN OLDHAM. GIRLS OF 13 AND 14, KNOWN TO THE POLICE, WERE BEING DRAGGED OFF
THE STREET INTO THE TOWN'S SHISHA BARS WHERE ROOMS WERE RENTED OUT
BY THE HOUR. THE POLICE AND THE COUNCIL KNEW WHAT THOSE PREMISES WERE.

Instead of closing down a network of child rape dens and rescuing these children, the 2011 police strategy for tackling Oldham's Pakistani rape gangs listed managing the force's reputation and the far right among its priorities. The specialist team set up to protect these girls was kept out of the operations against the shisha bars. Police intelligence placing exploited children inside those premises was not passed to the officers responsible for them.

In 2014 the leader of Oldham Council wrote on his blog that the abuse of children in the town was predominantly Pakistani men targeting white girls. He knew, and he was prepared to say it on his blog read by a handful of people. He never stood up in Oldham's council chamber and confronted what was being done to those children. Anyone surprised why the rapes carried on regardless?

RIVENDELL HOUSE WAS A CHILD BROTHEL BUILT BY OLDHAM COUNCIL
In 2007 Oldham Council took the girls most at risk from these men and put them together under one roof, in a six-bed home called Rivendell House. The council's own staff admitted its location was not ideal. Burnham's reviewers accepted that housing girls already being exploited in the same building could draw the abusers to it. A former care worker reported that in 2010 Pakistani men drove round and round the home waiting for the girls to come out, and that staff were not allowed to stop them leaving. The worker passed this to the police and the safeguarding board. Nothing was done. The state gathered sexually exploited children in one building. The men knew where to find them. What Oldham Council built was a child brothel, staffed and paid for by the taxpayer. When the care worker went public in 2014, the council hired a consultant to investigate the allegations. Burnham's reviewers relied on the consultant's report and the word of the staff who had been accused of complicity. It dismissed the whistleblower.

THEY LIED TO THE BBC ABOUT THE SHISHA BARS
In 2013 a chief inspector warned that the risks in the shisha bars were massive. When his email reached the BBC, the reaction at the top of the council and the police was alarm at how much the journalist knew. They told the BBC there were just two pieces of intelligence. This was a lie. Their own officers had filed several intelligence reports in 2011 and 2012 tying exploited girls to those premises. The police held intelligence naming the children and the places they were being taken. They kept it from the specialist officers whose job was to protect them. Senior police officers, senior council officers and the politicians agreed among themselves that the danger to these children was being exaggerated and would be used by the far right. Some admitted the council was also worried about scaring off investment in the town. Children were being raped in those buildings while the people responsible for them discussed the town's reputation. The journalist, whose father was a senior figure in the Labour Party, then participated in the cover up.

ANDY BURNHAM'S REVIEW WAS BUILT TO CLEAR OLDHAM COUNCIL AND THE POLICE
In 2019, as a direct result of the work of former councillor Warren Bates working alongside Raja Miah and the first of the rabble, the council leader asked Andy Burnham for a review. We published what we had. The shisha bars, the children's homes and the taxis were our allegations, and Burnham's review was built around them. Its authors admit they began by reading our evidence. When they asked to interview me, I agreed on one condition. That my testimony be given in Oldham's council chamber and streamed live to the public. They refused, because they would only hear it in private where they would take selective notes. Five years later, they published a report that filed everything we had exposed under allegations made on social media, and told Oldham there was no cover-up. Burnham put his name to it and told the people of Oldham there had been no cover-up. At the time we called Burnham's Assurance Review a cover up. In 2025, under immense pressure, even Andy Burnham was forced to admit to his review's failings.

THE COVER-UP MUST BE INVESTIGATED UNDER OATH
The national inquiry must examine Oldham with its full statutory powers, and it must not be confined to the boundaries Burnham's review accepted. It must cover the schools, the youth clubs, the children's homes and every year the gangs were operating.
Greater Manchester Police must hand over every record it kept from Burnham's reviewers. Oldham Council must release every document it redacted. Andy Burnham, the former council leaders and the senior officers who handled the shisha bar intelligence must be called to give evidence under oath. The girls of Rivendell House, the girls in the shisha bars and the girls of Hathershaw School were failed by every institution that should have protected them. Then they were told by a review that could not see the evidence that nobody covered anything up. They are owed the truth, and only a statutory inquiry has the power to get it.

THE PRIME MINISTER ANDY BURNHAM MUST BE SUMMONED BEFORE THE
NATIONAL INQUIRY. ANYTHING LESS THAN THIS JUST CONTINUES THE COVER UP.

Unfortunately, we are reaching the end of the road where I can continue working this way. The paid subscriptions have stalled. Worse, tens of thousands of people are now reading these articles without even joining the free mailing list. The audience is growing, but the number of people actually standing behind the work is not growing with it. This is becoming impossible to sustain. You know what we are up against. The mainstream media will not touch my work. Institutions I investigate do not volunteer their records. Politicians do not suddenly decide to hold themselves to account. And yet, despite all of that, we forced the national inquiry. We did that because enough ordinary people refused to go away. But getting the inquiry was never the end of this campaign. In many ways it was only the beginning. Now we have to watch where it goes, what it investigates, which places it avoids, which witnesses it calls, which records it obtains and whether the same institutions that failed these children are allowed to control the story again. Nobody else is going to do that work for us. And I cannot do it indefinitely working on my own. That is why I keep talking about 50,000 committed subscribers.
It is not a vanity number. I did not pluck it out of the air. With fifty thousand people with me means when we uncover something important, it does not depend on a newspaper editor, a television producer or an algorithm deciding whether you are allowed to see it.
It gives us reach they cannot easily shut down.

But there is another reason. I need to build a proper backroom operation around this work. At the moment I am investigating, researching, writing, publishing, producing the videos, running the newsletter, dealing with the technology and then starting again. It is unsustainable. I need people behind me who can take care of the technical and production work so that I can spend my time doing the thing I do best. That is why we have been pushing so hard for new paid subscribers.

Raja Miah MBE (born May 1973) is a British charity worker, activist, and political figure.



Sima* is 18, but has already given birth four times. Her youngest is a newborn, the eldest is four. Sitting with her children in their mud brick room in Badghis province, Sima says: “After the Taliban entered the country, I had just finished the 6th grade and was supposed to start the 7th. But two months later, my father pressured me immensely to marry my cousin. After being beaten by my father several times, I was forced to accept.”

At 13 years old, Sima became a bride inside the compound where she still lives, and where she has given birth to her children. One child died of pneumonia at a year old. As she speaks, she holds another one-year-old. Beyond raising three children, she does all the housework: fetching water, tending the cows, baking naan in a tandoor, while her children cling to her legs, crying.

Sima’s case is no longer exceptional in Afghanistan. At one public hospital in northern Afghanistan, 42 underage girls gave birth in the first five months of this year, interviews with hospital workers revealed. Six were in their second pregnancy. Five had ectopic pregnancies – a leading cause of maternal deaths, and 18 had caesarean sections; two died, though their babies survived.

They are victims of a growing trend toward child marriage, driven by Taliban policies legalising the practice and forcing girls out of school, combined with a deepening humanitarian crisis in which families are forced to sell their daughters to pay debts or buy food. As well as Sima’s, Zan Times spoke to three families with daughters under nine who were traded in marriage to settle debts. The youngest was two months old when she was promised as a bride, with all the families pledging to give the girls to their husbands when they reached between seven and nine years old.

ISLAM IS A BARBARIC and indeed SATANIC CULT.


The Satanic cult gives them permission to rape infidels ... (8 February 2016)
A gang of 12 men were jailed for a combined 140 years after a vulnerable schoolgirl was groomed, raped and sexually exploited over a prolonged period. The victim was just 13 when the abuse began.

Bradford Crown Court heard that she was repeatedly subjected to sexual abuse between May 2011 and June 2012, with offences forming part of the wider case taking place in Keighley between 2009 and 2012. The men, from the Keighley and Bradford area, were convicted of a string of serious sexual offences, including rape and sexual activity with a child.
On one occasion, the girl was gang-raped by five of the defendants. The court heard that encounters involving the teenager had been arranged by a violent drug dealer and that the exploitation continued over a period of around 13 months. Judge Roger Thomas QC condemned the defendants as he imposed sentences ranging from three-and-a-half years to 20 years.

He told them: “You’re all to be sentenced, all of you, for offences against a young vulnerable child. She was only 13 or 14 when the 12 of you took such terrible and heartless sexual advantage of her.” The judge described the offending as child sexual exploitation and said such cases involved groups of men exploiting vulnerable girls for their own sexual gratification.

  • Khalid Raja Mahmood, 34, who had previously pleaded guilty to two charges of rape and three counts of sexual activity with a child, was jailed for 17 years.
  • Tauqeer Hussain, 23, of Belgrave Road, Keighley, received 18 years for three counts of rape.
  • Sufyan Ziarab, 23, of Kendall Mellor Court, Keighley, was jailed for 15 years for two counts of rape.
  • Bilal Ziarab, 21, of Sedgwick Close, Bradford, received 12 years for two counts of rape.
  • Israr Ali, 19, of Devonshire Street West, Keighley, was sentenced to three-and-a-half years’ detention in a Young Offenders’ Institution for one count of rape.
  • Nasir Khan, 24, of Buxton Street, Keighley, received 13 years for one count of rape.
  • Saqib Younis, 29, of Bradford Street, Keighley, was jailed for 13 years for one count of rape.
  • Hussain Sardar, 19, also of Bradford Street, Keighley, received six years’ detention in a Young Offenders’ Institution for one count of rape.
  • Zain Ali, 20, of Buxton Street, Keighley, received eight years’ detention in a Young Offenders’ Institution for one count of rape.
  • Faisal Khan, 27, also of Buxton Street, was jailed for 13 years for one count of rape.
  • Mohammed Akram, 63, of Holker Street, Keighley, received five years for one count of sexual activity with a child.
  • Yasser Kabir, 25, of Belgrave Road, Keighley, received the longest sentence — 20 years. Kabir was convicted of three counts of rape involving the teenage victim and was also sentenced for sexual offences committed against two other young girls between 2004 and 2008.
The court heard that one of those children was aged between six and seven during the abuse, while another was aged between seven and nine. Kabir had been found guilty of 12 sexual offences against the two girls following a separate trial. Judge Thomas said the victims had suffered “severe psychological harm”. The case exposed the brutal exploitation of a child by a group of adult and teenage males who repeatedly took advantage of her vulnerability. Their convictions resulted in a combined sentence of approximately 140 years behind bars.
