(BBC) A man who was jailed for conspiring to commit female genital mutilation (FGM) in a “landmark case” has had his sentence increased.
Emad Kaky, 48, was jailed for four and a half years in October, after he arranged for a young girl to travel to Iraq, where she would have been subjected to FGM and forced into marriage.
His sentence after the FGM conviction, which was the first of its kind in England and Wales, was contested under the Unduly Lenient Sentence (ULS) scheme.
The Attorney General’s Office confirmed on Tuesday that Kaky’s sentence was increased to seven years on 24 January.
