Amir Cheema

Amir Abdul Rehman Cheema (}}; 4 Dec 1977 – 3 May 2006) was a Pakistani Islamist and textile engineering student in Germany who entered the offices of the German daily newspaper ''Die Welt'' on 20 March 2006 with a large knife and attempted to murder Roger Köppel. Cheema was later arrested by building security guards.

On 3 May 2006, while awaiting trial and in German police custody, he was found dead in his cell.

Pakistanis questioned the German's official version of the story and three MPs from a coalition of religious parties introduced a motion in National Assembly of Pakistan to discuss the student's death. While rumors spread after his death that he was tortured in the German prison, the German authorities produced a suicide note for Pakistan's foreign office.

In the course of the investigation, the German judicial system concluded his death was a suicide. Provided by Wikipedia
