Re: ANAA President Amna buttar Attacked by Police

Anyway, what happened **to her is not acceptable. Hopefully they will **catch the officers, but I doubt it if she didn't see who assaulted her.

she was rioting, she probably got pushed around. we cannot accept what she is saying unless there are other unbiased witnesses. Catch the officers? for what stopping the rioters?

If she was assaulted, then they should follow-up with her accusation. If some police offices did assault her, then they should be punished.

Anyways if anyone feels like helping out they can help by writing letters to pakistani newspapers.

sara: u remember her right? yeah thats the same lady.
iconoclast: i think thats an "after" photo. i dont think she would attend a rally in pakistan dupatta-less.
i am not part of her fan -club..and i dont know her enough to assess whether her intentions are just for publicity or not (since the nature of advocacy at a global level requires exposure to some extent) but I think the organization is doing a good job building schools in less privileged areas of pakistan for women and have shown results in cases such as for M.Mai. but at the moment we have her word only. cant force anyone to accept it as true.

Re: ANAA President Amna buttar Attacked by Police

what results have they shown in cases such a M. Mai? have there photgraphs taken with her for their own pubilicity is not "results".

show me proof, dont jump on the feminists bandwagon just because a woman cried foul.

Re: ANAA President Amna buttar Attacked by Police

It will be her word against their's, not like groping can be proved. I wouldn't be surprised if some police officers had touched her inappropriately but proving it will be her biggest challenge, unless someone got pictures!

Has there ever been a peaceful protest in Pakistan?

Feminist bandwagon?

It makes no difference to me. It's your city, not mine.

ANAA stands for the Asian American Network Against Abuse (of Human Rights). The Association has brought forth the tribulations of Mukhtaran Mai and Shazia Khalid and Aisha Parween. The President Amna Buttar had organized a peaceful rally in Pakistan against the suspension of Iftikhar Chaudhry and was sexually harrassed.

ln the words of Amna:

"I am in Pakistan now, and was at supreme court protest.
I was going inside the gate with the crowd when several police men wearing anti terrorist squad tshirts started grabbing me and starting touching my butt and other private areas. I realized that I was being pushed into a group of men whose purpose was to inappropriately touch me and I turned around and started to walk out of the gate and then this one guy pushed me down and got on top of me started to really go after me and touch my pubic area and I was in a sajda position kneeled with him on top of me. I was finally able to wiggle out from under him, and that is how I got scraped on my left knee and ankle. I have a six inch laceration non my left knee, and a two inch one on my ankle. My left arm is entirely bruised, and I have bruises on my neck and back.

I am sure that I was marked for this terrorization.

Amna"

Disgusting behaviour of Paki Police.

if u are interested you can visit the anaa website. speak to mr. zafar iqbal etc to get more information. i attended their conference, spoke to them, visited websites and read up articles which proved to me that they are not just all talk. i am not going to sit here and convince anyone of supporting them though. i gave you a woman's account of her being harrassed and an article in a newspaper....as far as harrassment is concerned its always one woman's word claiming it and most of the time its hard to prove.

Re: ANAA President Amna buttar Attacked by Police

There are other excellent groups doing tremendous work in pakistan. I will give you the example of Human Development Foundation. You can find out about their good work by checking their website out or attending the convention during memorial day weekend in chicago.

But I just dont see its leaders liek Khalid Riaz seeking publicity, making outlandish statements with shock value associated with them (not this time, but all you have to do is go back and read her previous statements) ... In APPNA circles she is known as a person who is connected and what nots, especially in Pakistan, but also that she is a megalomaniac.

Regardless if there was some sort of punga on purpose, then no matter wat she is and who she is, and what her motivations were, the perps who harassed her need to be punished. I dont think that is quite what hapened because the rest of the reviews of the general police approach and attitude that day has been mostly positive. But then thats just my assumption, it possible that somethign did happen.

She is? on what basis? I dont know of any outlandish statements that she has made except for against the feudal systems in pakistan and against hudood.

i gave you a woman’s account of her being harrassed and an article in a newspaper…as far as harrassment is concerned its always one woman’s word claiming it and most of the time its hard to prove.

Here is the news article you are flaunting ad nauseam**:

**

SC judge’s sister says police manhandled her

ISLAMABAD: Police allegedly manhandled Amina Buttar, sister of a sitting judge of the Supreme Court Justice Javed Buttar, at the SC where she had come to express solidarity with suspended Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry on Tuesday. Amina, a professor of medicine at the University of Wisconsin, USA, said that a police official pushed her and threw her on the ground and injured her knees when she was heading towards the exit of the SC building. Amina is accompanying a delegation of Pakistani American physicians to Pakistan to show solidarity with the suspended CJP on behalf of the Asian American Network Against Abuse. staff report

http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=2007\04\04\story_4-4-2007_pg7_5

This is the article in its entirety which quotes her claim but doesn’t provide an independent verification. It’s a claim, not a fact. Don’t make it sound like that newspaper is corroborating her story.

That is why Im a big believer in women staying at home; let the gents worry about rallys and the whole deal;

At home only ur husband can touch ur private areas; at rallies ur only inviting the uneducated janwars to feel u up.

^^^ Exactly.

Un ka huwliya daikh lo koi kuch karta hai to us main unka bhi qusoor hai.

Baghair dupatta jism ki kaisi numaish kar kay logon ko dawat day raheen hain aur kitnay baygharat hain inkay bhai aur husband aur baap agar zinda hain to janay kioon diya yoon mardon kay ghol main.

Kia inkay ghar kay saray mard mar gaay thay jo yay protest karnay nikli.

Mujhay to inka jism daikh kar shirmindagi ho rahi hai. Astaghfirullah.

Tauba tauba itni detail lahol wala quwata aur itni dair inkay sath sub kuch hota raha aur inkay saath denay walay kia kar rahay thay bhar' jhonk rahay thay kia?

Islam nain aisay hi thor'i kaha hai aurton ko ghar main rahnay ka kaha gia hai.

Re: ANAA President Amna buttar Attacked by Police

Unkay saath ziadti ki koi picture to naheen hai to yay picture to koi saboot naheen hai.

Us waqt yay pic kheenchnay walay kahan mar gaay thay jub inkay saath wo sub kuch ho raha tha?

Jo detail di hai kisi ki picture kioon naheen post ki gai saboot kay tor par.
