  1. The doctor is British national. How it will be established that he is Ahmadi? Is he bound by the laws of Pakistan while he is in Pakistan? These laws (198-C) are religious specific laws. No crime has been committed, apparantly, other than speaking some words of wisdom to some one who do not like to hear those words.

    Who got the FIR registered? It should be the two patients. Not any maulvi. But it seems that it was all planned, with hidden camera. It is possible that some non-Ahmadi employee may be involved.

    Ahmadis have to face such atrocities as long as the bad laws are in force. Patience and prayer is much needed.
    The real state is: Any Hindu or Jew or Christian can recite the kalimah or Salaam or Darood. But if any Ahmadi recited the kalimah, it means a crime. It was the worst bad deed of Zia ul Haqq who invented that cruelty in Islam. That was long ago. He burned in fire in this life and nothing remained of him to be seen.

  2. How come he was practicising a medical clinic in Pakistan if he was Br National? Until UK authorities will act the notorious Pakistani Police would have already done a lot with him. Be Allah his protector. Amin.
