Davies: “Asylum seeker sex attack shows dangers of Nation of Sanctuary policy”

Commenting on news that an Afghan asylum seeker has been convicted of abducting and raping a 12-year-old girl, South Wales Central Conservative MS Andrew RT Davies has reiterated his calls for Senedd ministers’ Nation of Sanctuary policy to be scrapped.

Ahmad Mulakhil arrived in a small boat from France in March 2025, four months before he raped the girl.

Mr Davies said:

This appalling case demonstrates the dangers of importing violent criminals into Britain.

Plaid Cymru separatist and Labour’s decision to make Wales a Nation of Sanctuary for asylum seekers is a pull factor encouraging more people to enter our country illegally.

I reiterate my calls for this dangerous policy to be scrapped.
