Senate body to probe Aamir Cheema's death
The Senate's Functional Committee on Human Rights will investigate the death of Aamir Cheema who died in police custody in Germany earlier this month. Cheema, a 24 year-old Pakistani, was studying in Germany at the University of Applied Sciences in Muenchberg sine 2004. He was arrested on March 20 for trying to enter the building of Axel Springer publishing house, the publisher of Die Welt newspaper, in Berlin and was accused of planning to attack the paper's editor for reprinting Danish blasphemous cartoons of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Though German authorities have declared Cheema's death as suicide, it has raised questions about the rights of Pakistanis abroad, prompting senator SM Zafar, chairman of the committee, to initiate an investigation into the matter.
