– Terror Risk

After being released after around half years in Pakistani intelligence custody on August 29 last year, Bhatti explained that he would soon go to Norway.

In November, two months ago, he tried to go to Gardermoen by plane. But when put Pakistani border authorities foot down: North man stood on the so-called no-fly list – a register of possible terrorist suspects who holds nearly 50 000 names.

Elden says that Bhatti worked until year end with getting the written terrorist plunger removed.

– He had made contact with both PST and police in October 2014 to ask if there was anyone still active cases or someone wants that he made contact. It was not answered. When Bhatti ordered flight on November 19, he was therefore still refused to travel to Norway because he stood on the no-fly list, terror risk list, the lawyer said to Dagbladet.

Bhatti allegedly been in repeated contact with the Norwegian Embassy and shall have received confirmation that the Norwegian authorities had not requested entry on “no fly” list. So, on December 26, succeeded Bhatti getting the Pakistani authorities to repeal exit- and grounding.

“Attorney Elden has also submitted his correspondence with the accused (…) which states emails from the accused dated 21 November 2012 that questioning can be agreed “anytime in week 50 or later”. In a reply letter from the police dated 12 December 2012 stated that the police had at this point closed the case and sent it to prosecution, as it had previously not been possible to carry questioning because the accused was in abroad. It was stated that the remaining questions one had accused, would be put to him during the main hearing. Police wanted therefore not make further questioning him in connection with the case, “writes the District Court.

Although the court has decided that Bhatti be released, the police are given so-called suspensive effect to any appeals are elucidated.
