PESHAWAR, May 25: A Pakistani student, who had undergone a 14-year imprisonment in Uzbekistan on charges of spying, has urged the government to rid him of the people hurling threats at him.

Kamal Hussain Bangash, a resident of Parachinar, who had got admission to a medical college in Uzbekistan nine years ago, is now back in Pakistan.

The Pakistan embassy in Uzbekistan had borne his expenditures and provided him a passport, visa and air ticket which cost the embassy $475.

Mr Bangash said some agents of a Pakistan secret agency were demanding of him to either deposit the $475 in the government account or face another term in jail. He said the Uzbek authorities had wrongly implicated him in a spying case and he ended up in prison, with his education ambition defeated.
