Counter-terrorism police in the UK have advised the Pakistani exiles to keep a low profile. A report by The Guardian states that their life may be at risk after criticising Pakistan’s powerful military.
People seeking refuge in the UK need to inform the police whenever they intend to travel within the UK.
Such alerts came after an outspoken and exiled blogger accused Pakistan of attempting to slay him in the Netherlands, after a so-called hitman was convicted by the UK court.

Muhammad Gohir Khan, the 31-year-old British Pakistani man who works at a supermarket in east London, was found guilty on Friday of plotting to kill Ahmad Waqass Goraya.
The criminal court has adjourned the case for sentencing on March 11, with Khan likely facing up to life in prison.
Khan was charged in June last year with conspiring with unknown other people to murder Goraya in the Netherlands.
