Dr Abdul Bary Malik
A Bradford group has written to senior politicians in the UK and Pakistan about the detention of a British-Pakistani national imprisoned on blasphemy charges.
The external affairs spokesman for the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association Bradford, Dr Abdul Bary Malik, said the group had deep concerns about 72-year-old Masood Ahmad, who moved to Pakistan about 50 years ago and has family in Glasgow.
Mr Ahmad, a doctor and member of the Ahmadi Muslim Community, was arrested in Lahore on December 15 after two people from a Muslim extremist group secretly filmed him reading a translation of a verse from the Holy Quran. He faces charges under Pakistan’s anti-Ahmadi laws.
Dr Malik said: “The Pakistan government must take action to release Mr Ahmad and ensure that his property is returned to him,” he said.

I second the appeal by Dr Bary Malik for the release of Masood Ahmad held in Lahore Pakistan for reading the verses of the Holy Quran. Masood is a practioner of Homeopathy and has been helping the community in Lahore for many years. He is one of many Ahmadi Muslims in Lahore and elsewhere in Pakkistan who are held prisoners for mostly stupid excuses. The government is either complicit or are afraid of these ignorant mullahs and perpetrators or both. Couple of my relatives are incarcerated in Lahore for similar “offences” yes reading or possessing their own community’s literature. One very popular lady teacher who is removed from her teaching position just because she is an Ahmadi Muslim, she was hounded out of her city with death threats. It is about time the World took notice of these atrocities committed against the minorities in Pakistan.
