Two more Pakistani students have reached Pakistan after being deported from the UK on the accusations of plotting terrorist activities and London bomb blasts. Students complained that the British Government was responsible for ruining their future. Talking to the media at Lahore Air Port they revealed that they were imprisoned with dangerous murderers and criminals amid high security for several months. “We didn’t even know our crime,” they maintained. The students informed that Pakistan High Commissioner Wajid Shamsul Hasan kept giving statements on their arrest and did nothing practical for their release. “It was only the Pakistani media that raised voice against the injustice meted out to us,” the students believed. The students added that they were arrested just on the suspicion charges and had nothing to do with terrorism. They strongly protested on being sent to Lahore Air Port by the British authorities while they were residents of Karachi. The currently deported students were among those 12 men, mostly students, who were arrested in high profile counter-terrorism raids across northwest England in April but never formally charged with any criminal offence because of insufficient evidence. Some of them are still being detained. They were refused bail at their hearing last month, the Special Immigration Appeals Commission (SIAC), which deals with such cases had revealed. The arrest of the Pakistani students without evidence had run a wave of panic among the students and others working in UK. British high officials had also assured that justice would be done in Pakistani students' case and their future would not be put at stake.
