The lawyer from Oxford: Britain's decision is unsubstantiated, why is

The head of the DP, Sali Berisha, publicly communicated yesterday the notification received by the government of Great Britain about the ban on his entry into the British territory, as accused of involvement in corruption.

The lawyer and lecturer at the University of Oxford, Rudina Jasini, considers the decision announced by Great Britain without arguments, which would raise doubts whether such a decision is really the result of legal investigations and analyses.

Through a post on Facebook, the lawyer raises the question of why exactly Sali Berisha is being singled out, and why when there have been so many corrupt affairs and serious violations, the decision comes after many years.

Full post:

While it is the right of the UK Government to designate an individual and citizen of another country as persona non grata through an exemption decision made by the Home Secretary, there is obviously an expectation that that decision is principled, well-reasoned and above all authenticated.

As a lawyer, I consider the recent statement of the Ministry of the Interior of the United Kingdom on the expulsion of the former Prime Minister of Albania, Mr. Sali Berisha from Great Britain, completely unsubstantiated. I would have expected more from a country with a strong and admirable legal tradition. One would doubt whether such a decision is truly the result of years of investigation, analysis and legal reasoning. From the looks of it, it doesn't look like it!

More fundamentally, the UK has been the epicenter of the wealth of hundreds of oligarchs, corrupt officials from foreign countries for years and decades, and no such practice of exclusion has been followed by the UK government, at least not until recently. with the war in Ukraine. Therefore, the question would be raised, why is Mr. Berisha singled out? Why does this decision come after so many years that such corrupt affairs and links with organized crimes were supposed to have taken place. There are heads of state there who have been involved in serious human rights abuses and no such decision to disqualify has been made by the UK Government.

Decisions of this nature, like all matters of law, require at a minimum the exercise of a fair and just process, striking the right balance and allowing legal arguments to guide the process and ultimately form the basis for a decision on exclusion.

After all, it's a matter of justice!
