yesterday ordered to be deported back to his home country.

United States Immigration officers at Bermuda International Airport stopped Ghulam Sarwar on March 1 as he was travelling with the false passport and a ticket under a bogus name.

He arrived on a flight from London and was travelling to Calgary, Canada, via Atlanta, Georgia.

Sarwar, 33, told Magistrate Archibald Warner he paid an agent in Pakistan $9,000 for the passport and ticket from Lahore, Pakistan, to Calgary.

Speaking in Urdu through an interpreter, he said he wanted to flee his country because he had trouble with the Muslim League and the army.

Sarwar used a British passport with his picture travelling under the name Hassan Kamreen Hassem.

Sarwar had a one-way airline ticket from Lahore to Calgary and a Bermuda immigration card under the name of Hassem.

He admitted having three false documents: the passport, and the ticket and immigration card under bogus names.

Mr. Warner had the option of fining Sarwar $5,000 and/or jailing him for three months, but he decided to deport him.

Mr. Warner was told by Immigration officer Carlton Saunders that he should be able to arrange the deportation in a week, subject to approval from Government House.

Mr. Saunders said he was making arrangements to have Sarwar escorted to Lahore via London and Amsterdam.

Mr. Warner remanded Sarwar in custody at Westgate, rejecting a plea from the defendant that he be free to spend the $600 he had in his pocket on a hotel.
