Protection order granted for Molly
Quote:
A court in Pakistan has granted a 48-hour protection order in the case of British schoolgirl Molly Campbell.
The order prevents the girl, also known as Misbah Iram Ahmed Rana, from being deported to Britain.
The 12-year-old flew to the country to live with her father after fleeing her mother's home in Scotland.
Molly's lawyer said she had been under round-the-clock surveillance since arriving in Pakistan a fortnight ago and he feared police could try to repatriate her forcibly to Britain.
The High Court in Lahore asked Pakistani authorities and the British High Commission in the country if there were any attempts under way to return Molly to Scotland against her will.
The disappearance last month of the schoolgirl from her home on Stornoway, Isle of Lewis, sparked an international hunt involving Interpol and has triggered a bitter custody battle between her parents, who divorced about five years ago.
Molly was picked up by her 18-year-old sister Tahmina, who lives in Pakistan.
The pair flew from the Western Isles to Glasgow, where they met their father, then on to Lahore.
Round one of the legal wrangle was won last week by the girl's father, Sajad Ahmed Rana, when a court in Lahore granted him temporary custody.
Molly has signed a statement saying she arrived in Pakistan on August 26 under her own free will.

Let her stay there, I fail to see why we should waste time, effort and money to bring her back to the UK .. she will soon be back, once she starts breeding, and be bringing her brood with her, to claim a free house and State handouts
