Pakistani student held for alleged attack on German editor dies in custody Aljazeera.net ^ \| Friday, 05 May 2006 \| Associated Press Pakistani found dead in German jail A Pakistani student, who was arrested for allegedly trying to hurt a German newspaper editor for publishing controversial cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad, has died in custody in Berlin. Tasnim Aslam, a Pakistani foreign ministry spokeswoman, identified the student as Amer Cheema, but would not say exactly when he was arrested. She said an initial report from Berlin suggested that Cheema had hanged himself at a prison, and added that Pakistan was trying to get more details. [...] Torture claim On Friday, three members of parliament from Mutahida Majlis-e-Amal - a coalition of six religious parties - introduced a motion in the National Assembly, seeking a debate on the death of Cheema in his cell. They said the student - according to his family - had allegedly been tortured to death, though they offered no evidence to back up the claim.
