 Pakistani authorities have deported a Briton held since May after he was cleared of links to terrorism and charges of fraud, fining him Rs 500 for overstaying his visa, his lawyer said on Tuesday. Zeeshan Siddiqui, a 25-year-old Briton of Pakistani descent, was arrested in the northwestern town of Peshawar on May 15 after going to the police to report the loss of his passport. According to his lawyer, Siddiqui was interrogated about links to Al Qaeda and so badly beaten in custody that he lost the sight of one eye and the partial sight of the other.
The lawyer, Musarrat Hilali, said that after police failed to link Siddiqui to militants, they charged him with having a false identity card but a court found him not guilty. "We got his deportation order from the court on Saturday and he was freed from jail on Sunday," Hilali said. "He left for London via Qatar the same night," she said. According to Hilali, Siddiqui apparently fell under suspicion initially because he had been in Peshawar with a group of Islamic preachers who travel from town to town teaching Islam. | Question: How come PakiWakiLand can deport their nutters back to Merrie Ol' England, yet the only Pak sent home by Britain was the body of a suicide bomber? |
