I am considering a trip to London to see Salman in Canterbury jail. I am being told by our Barrister (Yasin Patel) that Salman and Mohammad Asif have been moved to this new jail from Londons Wandsworth prison, said the senior Butt from Islamabad.Canterbury prisons C grade cells hold foreign nationals serving sentences upto five years. The prison has a gymnasium and an astro-turf pitch. Our lawyers have filed an appeal against the 30-month prison sentence and we hope the case comes up for hearing soon. I am keen to attend the hearing too, he added.According to the father, his daughter-in-law Gul Hassan is slowly recovering from the shock. She is alright now and taking care of her second son. She gave birth to a baby boy in Lahore, on the day Butt was slapped with a jail term for his involvement in spot fixing by a London court.
