Pakistan in exile has been warned by the police counter British terrorism that their lives are in danger of criticizing the Pakistani military, according to a report published in The Guardian. Wahyu has brought criticism for the government of Imran Khan in Pakistan.
Twitter users of Zohra Yusuf said journalists were not safe even in countries where they were looking for asylum.
In a solidarity performance for Pakistani commentators Ayesha Siddiqua, a political professor at the University of Nottingham, Katharine Adeney wrote that for people like Ayesha, “Safely disappeared”. According to the Guardian report, a lawyer told Siddiqua that the British-based Pakistani drug gang can be involved in targeting it.
Warning for Pakistan in exile came after a London-based Hitman was recently found guilty of the conspiracy to kill a Pakistani dissident. According to a report, Muhammad Gohir Khan was arrested for allegedly accepting money deals for the murder of the Ahmed Blogger Waqas Goraya, who had criticized the contents.
A few days before the trial began last month, officials from police terrorism counters visited the English home of Pakistani political commentators Rashid Murad, in an effort to review security.
Murad told the Guardian that two police officers had visited his house and told him that some people planned to hurt him. They indicate that threat comes from Pakistani authorities.
In the Guardian report, Fazal Khan’s lawyer has also been explained in the Pakistani authorities target. Fazal said he was also informed by the British authority and said that he had to tell the police whether he wanted to travel out London. He also said that the authorities have also discussed the deaths of Karima Baloch, who campaigned for the independent Balochistan and was found dead at Lake Canada in 2020.
