A Briton awaiting execution in Pakistan has written to Tony Blair asking for help.
The following is the full text of 36-year-old Tahir Mirza Hussain's handwritten letter, as published in the Times newspaper:
Almighty Allah is the most gracious and mercyfull.
Almighty Allah has described his beloved prophet Mohammad (P.B.U.H) in the Holly Quran as saying... (We have merely sent you as a mercy for everybody in the universe.)
Ramadan is the month of forgiveness, compassion and mercy. Muslims are expected to folow these teachings and forgive each other.
Therefore, I humbly beg the deceaseds family in the name of almighty Allah and his beloved prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) to come forward, show mercy and forgive me.
Moreover, I appeal to the president of Pakistan Pervez Musharaf to exercise his powers and comute my sentence.
I understand the President is visiting Britian. He will be meeting with priminister Tony Blair and leaders of muslim community in Britain.
I appeal to priminister Tony Blair to raise my case most emphatically with president Musharaf and press for my immediate release.
I hope President Musharaf will be obliged to do this and set me free.
I would like to thank all the Human-rights organizations, supporters, especially the people of Leeds who are working hard and campaigning for my release.
I request all to keep-up their support and prayers.
