Doctors in Pakistan have said that a mentally-ill Edinburgh man shot by a police officer while on death row for blasphemy is too unwell to be returned to prison.

Seventy-year-old British citizen Mohammed Asgha was targeted in Adiala jail, Rawalpindi, last week by a police officer.

Mr Asghar has been hospitalised since the shooting, but the Pakistani authorities have made several attempts to returned him to the same prison where the attempt on his life occurred.
