Nazir Ahmed, Baron Ahmed, Pakistani-English businessman and politician
Nazir Ahmed, Baron Ahmed (Urdu: نذیر احمد , born 24 April 1957) is a former UK Labour politician of Pakistani origin, and a convicted sex offender.
He was created a life peer in 1998 on the recommendation of the New Labour Government.
Many of his political activities related to the Muslim community both in the UK and abroad. In 2013, he alleged a Jewish conspiracy for a prison sentence he received following a fatal motorway crash. He was suspended from, and later resigned from, the Labour Party.
He faced expulsion from the House of Lords in 2020 on account of sexually exploiting a woman who had approached him in 2017 in his capacity as a member of the House, and resigned from the House after a recommendation of its Conduct Committee that he be expelled, but before it was implemented. However, he continued to be a life peer, although not a member of the House. On 5 January 2022 he was found guilty of historic sex offences, committed whilst he himself was a minor, being the attempted rape of a child under 13 years of age and sexual assault of another. He was sentenced to five years and six months in prison.
