Lee Anderson took to social media to express his anger about an "India-born paedophile" being allowed to remain in the UK, in a bid to rally support to leave the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).
The convicted sex-offender was granted permission to stay in the UK by a judge after successfully appealing deportation, on grounds it would harm his family.

Anderson said in his post: "An Indian-born paedophile who was jailed for distributing child sex abuse images CAN'T be deported from the UK - as it would be 'too harsh' on HIS children."
He then asked his followers: "If there was a referendum to leave the ECHR so we could deport foreign paedophiles which way would you vote?"
Of the more than 11,000 people who responded, a whopping 91% said they would vote to leave the hated EU convention.
The man, referred to as HS after being granted lifelong annonymity, had been jailed for 14 months in 2021 in relation to three counts of child sex abuse images.
He was also given a sexual harm prevention order, and was required to sign the sex offenders register for 10 years.
His lawyers won a legal challenge against deportation on grounds of human rights, claiming the sentence was "unduly harsh" and it would be unfair to separate him from his two children.
The sex-offender said deportation would damage his right to "private and family life" under Article 8 of the ECHR.
Court judges have previously prevented the man from having "direct unsupervised contact" with his two children, with his only contact being video call, according to legal papers.

The case is now pending further appeals by the Home Officer, according to the Mail Online.

The European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) is is an international treaty established in 1950 to protect human rights and fundamental freedoms in Europe.
Lee Anderson has called for the UK to leave the ECHR because he believes it limits the government's ability to enforce policies, particularly in immigration and national security.
