Yeah I agree. I couldn't believe the news coverage. Everyone was waiting for him to arrive with baited breath like he was some sort of saviour we've all been waiting for. We are just a bunch of soft ars*s in this country.

Doesn't anyone here read the newspapers?
Hussain spent 18 years in jail for a crime he didn't commit.
The taxi driver pulled a gun on him and tried to sexually assault him. In the struggle the gun went off and the taxi driver was killed. This has already been established in the civil court. Hussain himself went to the police to report this immediately, he was arrested on what civil judges later felt was dubious evidence.
He was originally convicted in a civil court but was acquitted on appeal because the court felt there had been a miscarriage of justice. Unfortunate in Pakistan there is a parallel religious court system. His case was referred there on the basis that when he drove the taxi to the police station he had committed theft.
Despite that fact he had been found innocent by a civil court he was sentenced to death. It was a majority decision and the dissenting judge, Mr. Justice Abdul Waheed Siddique, always argued Hussain's innocence.
What possible objection could any rational person have to this man's release and return home?

there is no excuse for this, there is adequate violence contained in the global and not using a racist attack on yet another. What i'd want to understand, is what's the ideology of the perp and is he seen regularly occurring or is he a thorough? you really reported that he replaced into white, not his ideology. no individual on the mainstream proper consents with this variety of habit, so why infer that they do? so a techniques as Palin is going, i'm not constructive only what she believes, yet do suspect that this act would receive a condemnation from her also. i understand of no case were she has said as for the homicide or attack on every person else, she isn't an SEIU liberal.

That was my gut reaction - but in this case there is certainly a lot of doubt as to his guilt. We will never know the real truth - only he knows that - but it does appear that he was a victim of an armed robbery and managed to turn the tables. Certainly evidence at his appeal pointed to this. In that case he was a victim of injustice. He should have been freed but the Muslim law was invoked and he was still held. I think it is right that he was freed and this could only be done with the help of very powerful people. This is the danger when you have two sets of law and it is something Britain should never allow, despite some Muslim's demands that we change our justice system to suit them! As for all the publicity I think he should have been allowed privacy to meet his family and to adjust to life again.

Praise be due to Pakistan's officials and Prince Charles to make it possible. A high Court in Pakistan had accepted plea that the 'killing' was in self defence. Later, another Court ruled that the killed man's heirs had the right to forgive or not. At this point, the Govt. of Pakistan used its prerogative to pardon, which is rarely used. Prince Charles and President Musharraf made this 'rare' usage happen. The death sentence was changed into 'life sentence'. In Pakistan the life sentence means 14 odd years---that he had already served, so he was legally free.

I'm with Simon D - I wish people would bother to take the time and find out the real fact about a story before spouting cr*p - why are so many people willing to accept the version of event handed to them by the media? THe facts are twisted and taken out of context to make the story 'juicy' and the idiot public buy into it.
A very sad state.

Why don't you at least read the Amnesty International report, or just know at least the minimum of background before you start spouting your bile on the rest of us?

Some of you people really do talk rubbish. It's usually worth it to know what your talking about before you go sprouting off your evil opinions.
