Alleged arbitrary detention and risk of persecution, torture and killing upon
deportation from the United Kingdom to Pakistan of an asylum seeker. According to
the information received, Mr. Liaquat Ali Hazara, a human rights activist and
campaigner for a Shia minority group, the Hazaras, continues to be detained pending
deportation from the United Kingdom to Pakistan. Serious concerns remain that Mr.
Hazara continues to face the risk of being tortured or killed should he be deported to
Pakistan, given the widespread and growing pattern of violent attacks, including
numerous killings, against members of religious communities, as well as his
prominent role as a blogger and activist defending the rights of the Hazara minority in
Pakistan. Mr. Hazara was subject of a previous communication sent on 20 October
2014, see A/HRC/28/85, case no. GBR 3/2014.
