Preacher Who Backs Wife-Beatings Let Into UK Amid outrage over Charles Saatchi assaulting his wife, the Home Office allows a preacher who condones hitting women into the UK.
In the light of the furore caused by Charles Saatchi's assault on his wife Nigella Lawson, the decision by the UK's Home Office to allow a radical Saudi preacher to come to Britain this week is interesting.
Mr Saatchi said he accepted a police caution for assault only to prevent a cloud hanging over the couple for months to come.
There was popular outrage at photographs published in a newspaper, and widespread condemnation which re-energised the debate about domestic violence.
