ISLAMABAD: The spokesman to Foreign Office (FO) Abdul Basit has said that Pakistan will ask British government not to deport its citizens who were rounded up on suspicion of links with terrorists but later were released, as UK government could not produce evidences against them.
Talking to Geo news, FO spokesman said Pakistani students had to undergo harsh time during their detention period behind bars and now it is up to UK government that how does it compensate students’ abuse.
Discussing the issue, Pakistani High Commission to London Wajid Shams-ul-Hassan said British government must beg pardon to Pakistan government over this illegal action taken against our students sans availability of evidences.
“We are in contact with British officials so that Pakistani students may not be deported”, he maintained adding, “As many as 11 Pakistani students in UK were arrested from Manchester and Liverpool areas without evidences and were kept in custody for 12 days and they underwent media trail”.
Media reported on Tuesday that UK government was mulling to deport those Pakistani students. |
