We remain in regular contact with Mr Asghar’s family in both the UK and Pakistan, and with his legal representatives on the approach we take. Although Mr Asghar currently faces the death penalty under Pakistan’s blasphemy laws, he has appealed his sentence. We continue to urge that the Pakistani authorities give due consideration to his clearly documented history of mental illness. Given the recent shooting that resulted in Mr Asghar’s hospitalisation we continue to raise his safety and security in Pakistan as an issue of concern. The Pakistani Authorities are fully aware of the UK’s interest in Mr Asghar’s case.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 17/10/2014 11:23:33 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
