Immigrant drug baron: Mahmoud Jaber, 31, had been peddling heroin and crack cocaine in Lancashire An immigrant drug baron will finally be thrown out of Britain after he exploited human rights laws to legally stay in the country and commit more crimes for eight years. Mahmoud Jaber, 31, had been peddling heroin and crack cocaine in Lancashire to live a lavish lifestyle and served three jail terms. But although he was told he would be deported as long ago as 2006, Palestinian-born Jaber - whose father lives in the UK - used Article Eight of the Human Rights Act to successfully appeal the order, arguing he had a ‘right to family life.’
