Pakistani: Rights group demands PM's intervention for British/Pakistani Muslim Ahmadi national arrested on blasphemy charges
The Prime Minister must intervene for the release of a British/Pakistan national who was arrested on charges of Blasphemy
The Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) has received information that a British doctor is languishing in a Pakistani prison accused of "posing as a Muslim" after being videoed reading aloud from the Quran.
The 72-year-old medical practitioner was arrested on charges of blasphemy (believed to be fake), for reciting Quran Sharif, the holy book of Islam.
Dr. Masood Ahmad belongs to the Ahmadi community which has been declared non Islamic.
The police, without holding a proper investigation, quickly arrested him and sent him to prison.
The British media have a great deal of space to his arrest and demanded that the British government contact the Pakistan government for his release.
The government of Pakistan is hesitant to release his due to fear of reprisals from religious fundamentalist groups.
