Mirza Tahir Hussain radio exclusive on 大象传媒 Asian Network
|
Mirza Tahir Hussain is to give his first radio interview since returning to the UK on the 大象传媒 Asian Network.
听
Sonia Deol talks exclusively to Leeds man Mirza who was recently released after
spending 18 years in a Pakistani prison.
听
He was due to be executed at the end of
the year but appeals by Prince Charles and others led to his death sentence being
commuted and his eventual release.
听
In the studio with Sonia, Mirza will tell his side of the story in an in-depth
interview to be broadcast in segments on Monday 27 November 2006 on the Breakfast Show
(6-9am) and later as a documentary for the Asian Network Report: Mirza Tahir Hussain - My Story at 6.30pm.
听
Sonia Deol previously interviewed Mirza Tahir Hussain in a gripping interview
from his prison cell where he pleaded for his life.
听
Asian Network reporter Sanjiv
Buttoo secured both interviews as a result of deep interest in the case and a long
relationship with the family of Mirza.
听
The documentary will be available to listen online from 6am on Monday at
bbc.co.uk/asiannetwork.
