British authority denies bail to Pakistani students
July 30th, 2009 - 2:42 pm ICT by ANILondon, July 30 (ANI): British authorities have denied bail to Pakistani students detained earlier this year on national security grounds in simultaneous raids conducted across the country.
The Special Immigration Appeals Commission after hearing the bail pleas of two students, Muhammad Ramazan and Ahmad Faraz at the Royal Courts of Justice here, refused to grant bail in all seven cases levied against them, The Daily Times reports.
The commission also turned down the application filed by other two students, Abdul Wahab Khan and Shoaib Khan filed earlier in the week.
Hearing the bail pleas, Justice Mitting said that none of the applications were viable for bail, and said: “Full reasons will be given in due course’.
It may be recalled that 12 students were arrested in raids across Britain in April. Ten out of the 12 taken into custody were Pakistanis, who had come to Britain on student visas.
After three weeks of intense interrogation all charges against the students were dropped in May due to lack of evidence.
However, they have been kept locked in high-security prisons under immigration laws, and handed over to the UK Borders Agency for deportation. (ANI)
