Exiles advised to keep a low profile as hitman is convicted in London
Pakistani exiles seeking refuge in the UK are being advised by counter-terrorism police to keep a low profile following warnings that their lives may be at risk after criticising Pakistan’s powerful military.
Counter Terrorism Policing, a collaboration of UK police forces and the security services, has told possible targets that they need to inform police if they intend to travel within the UK.
One British-based dissident said she had received information that hitmen linked to Pakistani drug gangs would be contracted to target her.
