巴基斯坦前州政部长、现任议员鲁克沙尔·艾哈迈德因涉嫌1990年代性虐待和贩运曼彻斯特未成年女孩而面临英国指控[1]。艾哈迈德于2024年7月18日在曼彻斯特机场被捕，指控涉及对Rusholme地区至少两名未成年女孩的犯罪行为[1]。获保释后，他飞往巴基斯坦，随后当选为巴基斯坦穆斯林联盟-谢里夫党议员[1]。
艾哈迈德向媒体表示将返回英国应诉，但拒绝给出具体日期，声称一切事宜由其法律团队处理[1]。他否认所有指控，并称将"通过适当渠道处理这些事项"[1]。Greater Manchester警察部门预期他将在未来六周内按照保释条件应诉[1]。
Rukhsar Ahmed, a former Pakistani provincial minister and current legislator, was arrested at Manchester Airport in July 2024 on suspicion of child sexual abuse and trafficking involving at least two teenage girls from the Rusholme area of Manchester during the 1990s [1]. After securing bail, he traveled to Pakistan and was subsequently elected as a member of parliament for the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz party under Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif [1].
Ahmed has declined to provide a specific date for his return to the UK to face the charges, telling reporters that he would come back but refusing to commit to a timeline [1]. He stated to the Mail on Sunday that he "categorically denies all allegations and will address these matters through proper channels" [1]. Greater Manchester Police expect him to comply with his bail conditions within six weeks [1].
