| Three UK-born Pakistanis sent to jail |
| 2007-04-13 |
| The Federal Review Board (FRB) on Thursday sent three UK-born Pakistanis – Rangzeb, Rashid Rauf and Khalid – to Adiala prison for two months each. They are charged with alleged involvement in a plot to blow up transatlantic airliners. Rauf protested against the board decision, saying that he was sent to jail despite an anti-terrorism court having already acquitted him. The board directed the Interior Ministry to arrange a meeting of Rauf with his family within 15 days. The FRB also ordered his medical check up every fortnight. |

| #3 I think the report is referring to the Pakistani judicial system. |

| #2 Actually, TW, what they REALLY need is a large supply of rope and some spine-stiffener - especially the latter. Good rope can be reused quite a number of times. Without a spine, the British judicial system becomes a herd of jellyfish. |

| #1 A two month sentence for plotting to blow up passenger airplanes over the Atlantic? Our cousins need more prisons, I think. |
