Karachi, Nov 8: Convicted for the spot-fixing scandal, Pakistan's tainted pacer Mohammad Aamer has been moved from a notorious young offenders detention centre to a more secure and safer rehabilitation centre in the United Kingdom.
Aamer, who has been sentenced to six months jail term by the crown court last week for his role in the spot-fixing scandal, has been moved from the Feltham Young Offenders Institution to a Her Majesty's Prison Portland known as Weymouth in Dorset, England, Geo News channel reported.
Apparently the decision may have been influenced by the fact that there is a history of violence at the Feltham institution, where in 2000 a Pakistani boy -- Zahid Mubarek -- was killed by a white racist psychopath Robert Stewart.
A report by the Commission for Racial Equality seven years ago found "widespread racism" at the jail with Black and Asian inmates subjected to bullying and unfavourable treatment by wardens.
