More on Mirza Tahir Hussain

Tony Blair spoke publically for the first time yesterday on the situation of Mirza Tahir Hussain, a British citizen who has spent have his life in on death row in Pakistan for a crime he didn't commit. His execution date will conicide with a visit to the country by Prince Charles. It is looking increasingly likely that Musharraf will use Hussain's life for his own political purposes; he doesn't want to be seen bowing to British pressure. He is all too keen to forget, for a moment, that this whole event is another sad and sick chapter in Pakistani "justice", and that even one of the judges on the panel that convicted Hussain said it was a sham prosecution case. No Orientalists to blame here...

Update: The Graun reports that Pakistan has been warned the royal visit will be scrapped if the execution goes ahead.

Update 2: BBC reports stay of execution of two months.

I believe it was the man's brother who, on the radio yesterday, commented that the stay of execution was merely "death by a thousand cuts".
