UK's first Muslim MP quits over death threats
A Labour MP has revealed that he is stepping down after getting death threats linked to a gang he helped convict for a racist murder.
Mohammad Sarwar was Britains first Muslim MP. He has told party activists he will not be contesting his Glasgow Central seat at the next election. The 54-year-old said his decision came after his family was threatened by a gang linked to racist murderers Imran Shahid, Zeeshan Shahid and Mohammed Faisal Mushtaq. The three were jailed for life last year for their part in the killing of Glasgow teenager Kriss Donald, who was kidnapped, tortured and killed in Glasgow in 2004. Mr Sarwar was instrumental in arranging the extradition of the trio after they fled to Pakistan. Posted by: 2007-06-22 |
