Nine days after Imran Khan was taken into custody on May 9 in Islamabad, a Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) activist was found guilty by the Westminster Magistrates' Court of causing criminal damage to the Pakistan High Commission, The News reported.
Aamir Wasim Chaudhary, 51, was charged with one count of criminal damage to the building. The attack on the Pakistan High Commission in Knightsbridge by Amir at around 22:11 on May 18 led to the accusation and conviction.
Scotland Yard sources have confirmed that on the evening of May 18, when Aamir appeared in front of the commission in London, raised slogans in support of ‘Haqeeqi Azadi’ and against the Pakistani government and other national institutions, and entered the mission's grounds, it received an emergency call from the Pakistani authorities.
According to the Crown Prosecution Service, Aamir was charged with one count of criminal property damage to the Pakistan High Commission.
He was brought before a judge at the Westminster Magistrates' Court, where he at first rejected the accusation but then admitted to criminal damage after being presented with the evidence.
The court found him guilty and declared that he pays the commission.
As per sources, a windowpane was broken in an effort to break into the mission by Aamir, who was shouting slogans against the Pakistani government and leaders of various organizations. He had previously used threatening and abusive language.
It is believed that two employees were in the building when the incident took place.
Sources claim that the Pakistan High Commission in London alerted the Met Police and the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) about this occurrence.
According to police sources, after showing up on the spot, the police detained the criminal.
The Pakistani mission has requested the FCDO to protect the safety and security of the high commission and its consulates following the protester's conviction and punishment.
