Pakistan warns Britain against deporting students​

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.

Let the poor kids finish their education if they are innocent.

As someone pursuing an education in the West, I can sympathize.

Some of them have likely spent thousands of dollars and completed a good chunk of coursework and deporting them will mean all of that money, hard work and time will be wasted.

A close friend of mine was a year away from graduation when he went back to Pakistan for the summer and to renew his student visa. Despite having successfully completed three years of coursework (over a hundred credits) and two semester left, the US embassy refused to renew his student visa.

All that time and money wasted. Some parents go through a lot to raise the money just so their kids can have a chance at a better life, and the kids work hard and play by the rules. They don't deserve this ****.

Oh dear. The level of paranoia exhibited by some members is unbelieveable.

Back on topic, I fear the UK govt. has lost what little credibility it had with Pakistanis and muslims as a whole. Their approach to combating extremism by throwing money at it through the PVE (Preventing Violent Extremism fund) and by trying to turn the rest of us into Sufis is a joke.

Bring on 2010!

BTW, great post Fatman. Truer words were never spoken!

By not deporting those students UK risk its image.
Those kids would become a hot cake for media.
This will not be in UK's interest, so as I know of UK they will never do this mistake for allowing those to mix with public.
I doubt if they would be even allowed to go back to collect their belongings.
Although those students were innocent but Pak. govt. should also share the responsibility of the out come.
Local embassies never mix up with expatriate Pakistanis. OPF in Pakistan need to brief about the foreign culture to those youth travelling to UK.
If we see our old passport it is written that it is an obligation to register your self to local embassy, when you plan to stay more than 3 months. but imagine how many of us do this?

My advice to all Pakistanis, inform your local embassy even when you are out for a week's trip.

After these students were being arrested on the accusations of Terrorism (or shall I now call it an errorism), Mr Gordie the useless asked Pakistan to do more...do more...O yeh do more.

BUT now as the students are released without any terror charges, so does this mean that Pakistan DOESNT have to do any more??? Are we spared or still have to do more?

Or perhaps it’s themselves who should do a little more research and investigation before ruining someone’s future.

If they're in the UK illegally, they should be deported to Pakistan.

If not, then I suppose, no.

In the so called war on Terror, the rule of law in the West has been the first casualty...

Who knows what and when the last casualty will be.

The GoUK is getting way with a lot here. That crap wouldn't fly here although under Bush they might have been in Gitmo so I can't attest to our superiority. A formal apology is due or at least a run down of why they're due for deportation. The blanked guise of national security is all well and nice but this just reinforces the idiots out there who clamor against the British state.
