TL;DR

Abdul Shakoor Ezedi, a convicted sex offender from Afghanistan who was granted asylum in the UK, is being sought by police for a chemical attack in London that injured at least 12 people, including a blinded mother and her young daughters. Ezedi, who had been denied asylum multiple times before being granted leave to remain, was convicted of sexual assault and exposure in 2018. Despite this, his asylum bid was successful after claiming conversion to Christianity and danger if returned to Afghanistan. Police are actively searching for Ezedi, and the Prime Minister's spokesman emphasized that foreign criminals should not be allowed to stay in the country.
