Party expels Khan, 48, who faces time in jail and could be disqualified as MP from his Wakefield constituency

The Conservative MP Imran Ahmad Khan has been found guilty of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old boy after plying him with gin at a party in 2008, with Labour calling on him to immediately resign his seat and trigger a byelection.

The 48-year-old, whose brother Karim is a prosecutor at the international criminal court in The Hague, was warned he may face time in jail. If he receives a sentence of more than 12 months he will automatically be disqualified from being an MP, prompting a byelection in his Wakefield constituency in West Yorkshire.

The judge, Mr Justice Baker, said he would sentence Khan at a date to be fixed.

On Monday evening the Conservatives announced he had been expelled from the party.

A jury at Southwark crown court in London found Khan guilty of assaulting the boy at a party in Staffordshire in January 2008, 11 years before he became an MP. Khan made no comment as he left court but a member of his legal team said he would be appealing.

The victim said he was not “taken very seriously” when he made the allegation to the Conservative party press office in December 2019, days before Khan was elected as Wakefield’s first Tory MP since 1932.

He made a complaint to police days after Khan helped Boris Johnson win a large Commons majority by taking seats including Wakefield in the so-called red wall that had formed Labour’s heartlands in the Midlands and northern England.

Imran Ahmad Khan (second from right), the Conservative MP for Wakefield, is on trial for sexually assaulting a 15-year-old boy in a bunk bed at a house in Staffordshire in January 2008. A separate alleged incident in Pakistan happened almost three years later, in November 2010.

Gay Ahmadi member of the UK Parliament Imran Ahmad Khan, who is on trial for sexually assaulting a 15 years old boy, faces another allegation of performing a sex act on a sleeping British aid worker in Peshawar, Pakistan, where they were working on a Foreign Office funded program in November 2010.

Testifying before the jury on Monday, the aid worker said he did it after giving him a sleeping pill as they shared a room in a guest house in the city of Peshawar. He said he later woke up to find Khan was performing a sex act on him, having pulled down his boxer shorts. He added: ‘I pushed him off and told him to stop and said something along the lines of, “What the f*** are you doing?”‘ The victim was in his early 20s on the time of the alleged incident.

He said he had reported the incident to the British High Commission and the Foreign Office but did not want to go to the police in Pakistan because of Khan’s ‘powerful connections’ in the military and government.

The alleged victim came forward as a witness after hearing Khan had been charged with sexual assault, the court heard. The man said that before the alleged incident: ‘There were definitely times when he got drunk after a few gin and tonics for example.’ He said Khan’s homosexuality was an ‘open secret’ and the MP would sometimes act ‘quite flirtatiously’ or ‘tickle’ him. Jurors heard that on the night of the alleged sexual assault Khan and the man had been at a party where everyone was drinking whisky.

Asked if he had been smoking marijuana, the witness said: “I think generally at these types of events, if it had been there, both Imran and I would have had some.” Khan’s counsel said her client did not like marijuana or the smell of it but the man said: “He has definitely smoked in front of me in the past.”

The MP, who is gay and an Ahmadi, claimed he only touched the Catholic teenager’s elbow when he ‘became extremely upset’ after a conversation about his confused sexuality.

The trial of Imran Ahmad Khan, 47, the Conservative MP for Wakefield, on charges of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old boy in 2008 in Staffordshire started March 21.

On December 16 last year, Khan appeared at the Old Bailey in London via video-link and the case was transferred to Southwark Crown Court where his trial was scheduled. The defendant, who is on unconditional bail, has been suspended by the Conservative Party and sits in the Commons as an independent.

After his elections, Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya UK had congratulated Khan. Its official Twitter handle – @AhmadiyyaUK – on December 13, 2019, said, “Congratulations, best wishes and prayers for success in building a peaceful world to @imranahmadkhan, on becoming Member of Parliament for Wakefield. Imran Ahmad-Khan is the first-ever member of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community elected as a Member of British Parliament.”

Khan’s father belonged to Khyber Pakhtunkhawa province of Pakistan and had moved to England. He denied the allegation “in the strongest terms”, saying “I am innocent” in a statement posted on Twitter. He was elected at the 2019 general election.

Under clause 140 of Denmark’s penal code, anyone can be imprisoned or fined for publicly insulting or degrading religious doctrines or worship. Only four blasphemy prosecutions have ever been attempted in the country. The last was in 1971, when two Denmark Radio producers were acquitted after airing a song mocking Christianity. Two people were previously fined in 1946 after acting out a “baptism” at a ball in Copenhagen, while four others were sentenced for putting up anti-Semitic posters and leaflets in 1938. At least a dozen other cases have been considered but not charged, including in 2006 when prosecutors decided to stop an investigation into the Jyllands-Posten newspaper over a controversial set of caricatures under the headline “The Face of Mohamed”. The publication sparked protests around the world, with insulting the Prophet seen as a grave offence to Muslims and Islamic scholars interpreting Quran verses on idolatry to forbid any representation of Mohamed.

The following statement was issued by the MCB yesterday on their website:

“The Muslim Council of Britain has received requests as to where it stands with regard to the Ahmadiyya community.

“The MCB fully subscribes to pluralism and peaceful coexistence and acknowledges the rights of all to believe as they choose without coercion, fear and intimidation.

“We affirm the right of Ahmadis to their freedom of belief and reject any attacks on their property or persons. They have the right to live free from discrimination or persecution. The targeting of Ahmadis for their beliefs is totally unacceptable.

“The Muslim Council of Britain reflects the clear theological position expressed across Islamic traditions: namely that the cornerstone of Islam is to believe in One God and in the finality of the Prophethood of the Messenger Muhammad, peace be upon him. We understand that this is not a tenet subscribed to by the Ahmadi community. The MCB Constitution requires our affiliates to declare that Messenger Muhammad peace be upon him is the final prophet and whoever does not subscribe to that declaration cannot be eligible for affiliation with the MCB. Given this fundamental theological difference with the Ahmadi community, the MCB is not in a position to represent or be represented by the Ahmadi community.

“Despite our clear theological beliefs, we note that pressure is mounting to describe this community as Muslim. Muslims should not be forced to class Ahmadis as Muslims if they do not wish to do so, at the same time, we call on Muslims to be sensitive, and above all, respect all people irrespective of belief or background.

“As with all faith communities, and with genuinely held theological beliefs, we nevertheless extend our hand of friendship and cooperation for the common good of all.

“The MCB believes that all individuals and places of worship must be respected. It unequivocally condemns all forms of intimidation and violence against people of all faiths and none. The MCB condemns all attacks on all places of worship of other religions and beliefs.”

The trust between a doctor and his patient is sacred and the fact that it has been breached in this way is despicable”

Dame Julie Moore
Queen Elizabeth University Hospitals NHS Trust
He told Hamid witnesses had spoken highly of his clinical skills, but he had been “brought low by a simple failing – lust”.

“And you exercised your lust as a result of arrogance,” he said.

“These ladies went to see you because they had significant problems and they thought – with your skills, abilities and experience – you were the person who could help them with the medical problems.

“Instead, you grossly abused them.”

During the eight-week trial the spinal surgery specialist, of Russell Road, Moseley, Birmingham, told the court some of the alleged attacks did not happen, while others were legitimate examinations which had been misconstrued.

However, one expert witness told jurors Hamid had performed “inappropriate and medically unjustifiable” examinations, ignoring General Medical Council guidelines.

‘Sickened’ colleagues
Among the victims he was convicted of assaulting was a woman in her mid-20s whose complaint led to Hamid’s arrest in November 2013.

The patient, who cannot be named, told jurors she felt “frozen to the spot” as she was subjected to an assault at the private Priory Hospital in 2013.

The eight other counts on which Hamid was convicted relate to five women who attended hospital for a variety of complaints between January and September 2012.

Det Insp Ian Ingram, from West Midlands Police, praised the first woman for her courage in coming forward.

“She went home, spoke to her family, and straight away contacted the police,” he said.

Mr Ingram said the delays in the other five victims coming forward showed the “power” Hamid had over them.
“He was in that position of trust. They doubted whether they would be believed, doubted whether it was medically justified what he had done,” he said.
He said police could not rule out the chance that more patients were abused by Hamid.

“It may be that we get further victims come forward. It’s important that if they do, we will help them,” Det Insp Ingram continued.

“And it might show that it’s been occurring over a longer period.”

The Crown Prosecution Service said Hamid had used his position to carry out “intrusive and inappropriate examinations on vulnerable women” to satisfy his “personal sexual gratification”.
Crown advocate Aliya Rashid said the examinations had left the women “shocked, confused, embarrassed and deeply upset”.

The court heard Hamid encouraged some of his patients to remove their clothing and on occasions, removed their clothes himself without a chaperone present.
‘Brought disrepute’
Speaking after the conclusion of the trial Dame Julie Moore, chief executive of Queen Elizabeth University Hospitals NHS Trust, said she and her colleagues had been “sickened” by the surgeon’s actions.

“We’re deeply sorry that these offences have occurred and brought disrepute to his profession,” she said.

“The trust between a doctor and his patient is sacred and the fact that it has been breached in this way is despicable.”

The Priory Hospital said safety was its first priority and Hamid’s contract was suspended as soon as concerns came to light and had set up a dedicated phone line for patients who might have concerns.

The Queen Elizabeth hospital trust said it would now complete its own investigation.

Its inquiries have already revealed an email from a patient sent to the trust’s Patient Advice and Liaison Service in 2009, complaining of “inappropriate behaviour” by Hamid during an outpatient appointment.
The trust said its executive team were not aware of the email until letters were sent out to the surgeon’s patients in November 2013.

It said the member of staff who dealt with this complaint no longer works at the Trust and guidelines had been reinforced to current staff.

One patient, who was the first to report the alleged crimes last November, told officers that he had asked her to lie on a bed then, when she looked away, he undid the button and zip on her skirt.
‘The patient had been to see the surgeon with back and urinary problems,’ said Mr Hankin, who added that she told police Hamid had touched her intimately.
The court heard she was ‘left frozen to the spot’ before he told her ‘you are a sweet girl’. The alleged victim then ran outside the hospital and ‘burst into tears’.

The ordeal left her feeling ashamed and embarrassed,’ Mr Hankin said. ‘An expert says these examinations should have been done by a specialist gynaecologist, not a neurosurgeon.’
The jury was told about another patient, a 42-year-old woman whom he saw on several occasions who had a neck injury and resulting urinary incontinence.
Mr Hankin said: ‘He told her she had a “beautiful body”, asked her when she had orgasms, if she masturbated and then asked her to show him how.
‘The examination was entirely inappropriate as her problem was in the neck.
‘Eventually he told her he could no longer care for her as he had developed feelings for her.’

The court heard Hamid, of Moseley, Birmingham, trained in Pakistan and moved to Britain in 2000.
After the first patient reported him and a criminal investigation began, a letter was sent to all of Hamid’s female patients saying an unnamed doctor had been accused of misconduct. This is when his other victims came forward.
Mr Hankin said: ‘He will argue that in some cases what he did was medically justified and that in others that allegations are incorrect, that the assaults never happened.
‘The fact that these women reported what had happened separately makes it legitimate and not the result of malicious intention.’
The trial continues.

Germany.

To stop the already widely known in the Pakistani congregation campaign against the sectarian activities of the Ahmadiyya community,by means of Islamic religious instruction at German schools, Samina Khan, the constituency assistant to Barbara Cardenas member of the Hessian State Parliament for the Left Party was. is dismissed.

Samina Khan herself District councilor in the Offenbach district and has a term of three years ago. Barbara Cardenas, who has his constituency in the district of Offenbach, has for a long time supporter of the Ahmadiyya community. The former administrative judge Horstschäfer is an ardent follower of the Ahmadiyya community,recently he has filed a civil action against a fellow and member of the Chingaree forum.

Barbara Cardenas is a close confidante of Horstschäfer. Through the joint action of the Ahmadiyya officials and these two people

Samina Khan was dismissed because of the campaign against the growing influence of religious sects in Germany and Europe. Samina Khan was 6 years constituency assistant and went about their work conscientiously.

This one-sided partisanship shows the growing nervousness of the followers of religious sects.

Without a doubt, this is an act of revenge for the fight for justice and against the dissemination of state-funded religious hatred is ended. This makes possible that this dangerous sectarian thinking can continue to poison the minds of children in German schools.

The social consensus to be brought into doubt and hawked by infiltration into the Middle Ages,which is contrary to the thinking of the 21st Century

Samina Khan explained to her release: “We make such a vile and corrupt attacks from nothing. Such practices have always been components of civil rights movements.I just wonder about the timing, because I’ve expected much earlier. That it has taken so long but then,I was very surprised. Nevertheless, rather late than never, because now I can without fear and with more courage to fight against injustice. I can now more widely for the interests of the Pakistani labour movement me.I am of the opinion that the dignity and freedom of man, overcoming classes and social progress can only be made through the eradication of a slave mentality.”
