For all the crap that Pakistani police carry out against ordinary Pakistanis… it’s worthwhile remembering the lives they make a huge and positive improvement to.

This maulana and his guards are going to get it… they’re charged under both Hudood and Terrorism laws.

HARIPUR, Oct 4: Raiding a private jail run by a cleric in a village near here, police have freed 113 people, seven of them British nationals of Pakistani origin. Many of them were young men and boys.

Maulana Ilyas Qadri, who was running the private jail, and his six guards were also arrested in the raid carried out on late Monday night.

District Police Officer Abdul Rasheed Khan said that a police party, acting on a complaint lodged by Shahid Waseem of Chakwal and Majid Mehmood of Gujjar Khan, raided the jail in Badhana village, along the Tarbela Lake, and freed the 113 people from illegal detention.

All of them were fettered and appeared severely malnourished. They were treated in an inhuman manner by the cleric and guards of the jail, the DPO told newsmen on Wednesday.

Cases have been registered under sections 342/506 PPC, 337/12 Hudood Ordinance, 511 PPC and the Suppression of Terrorist Act against the Maulana and his six guards — Ghulam Kibriya, Shaukat Rehman, Fakhar Zaman, Farman Khan, Javed and Mazar Ali.

The complainants who had escaped from the jail said they were tortured and kept fettered. “They would beat us with clubs whenever someone tried to escape or object to the treatment meted out to them,” they said. They alleged that the guards also sexually abused them and children.

All the freed inmates were brought to Haripur district courts where eight boys Ghani, Sarfraz, Najeebullah, Adeel, Ehsan Ali, Mohammad Hanif, Zeshana and Abdul Ahad — aged between 12 and 18 years — recorded their statements before Civil Judge Hina Khan.

Exactly, these crazy self-declared Peers and followers of these Tareeqah's are worse than Catholic priests, known for for being perverted cult leaders.

The majoirty of people in Pakistan worship such individuals.

Mostly all sects movlies are like this I red an article about private jails of Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan (SSP) and Lashkar-e-Jhangvi in Pakistan. We need humble & educated Scholars who have full vision of Islam not short sighted Topi Pajama Molvies in our Masajid A practical, humble, pious person even with a limited religious knowledge is far better than person with a degree from a Madressa who tries to make difference among other sects.
in past all big political parties (MQM, PPP, PML) faced allegation of having their private jails/torture cells there were too many reports published in news paper about their involvement in many incidents of torture & hate crime. This private jail story is not a new thing in Pakistan. In order to remove this type of hate cultural from root we have to remove all politicians, illiterate Molvies and their militant gangs.

Tribal culture + religious extremism, a dangerous mix. These are the type of people some feel should rule over Pakistan and are the greatest Muslims.

At least 19 killed in Pakistan violence

PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — Violent clashes between rival Sunni and Shiite Muslims left at least 19 people dead and several wounded in a remote tribal area of northwestern Pakistan, officials and a lawmaker said Friday.
The violence in the Aurakzai tribal area began Monday and continued Friday, when armed men from the two sects tried to enter the shrine of a sufi saint to gain control of it, said Shah Zaman, government spokesman for Pakistan’s northwestern tribal regions.

“It is a sad incident, and we are trying to control the situation,” Zaman told The Associated Press.

Tribal police were sent to the area, he said. Authorities were seeking the help of tribal elders to defuse tensions.

Sher Alam Mahsud, an administrator in the region, said 19 people had died since the beginning of the violence, although he gave no further details, and it wasn’t clear how many Shiites and Sunnis were among the dead.

Kamal Shah, a resident of Ziarat village where the clash happened, said both sides used rockets and other heavy weapons.

Syed Javed Hussain, a Shiite lawmaker from Aurakzai, at a news conference in Islamabad blamed local Taliban for the unrest, and asked the government to take stern action against them.

He also claimed that the local Taliban had not allowed Shiites to visit the shrine for the past several years. “All we ask is that we be let to observe our religious duties and free access” to the shrine, Hussain said.

Shiite and Sunni followers of the sufi saint Anwar Shah Baba both claim they are the real custodian of his shrine. Clashes between the two groups are not uncommon in Aurakzai, 180 miles south of Pakistan’s main northwestern city of Peshawar.

Although most majority Sunnis and minority Shiites live peacefully among each other in Pakistan, extremist elements from each side often attack the other’s leaders and activists in often deadly violence.

The Sunni-Shiite schism over who was the true heir to Islam’s Prophet Muhammad dates back to the seventh century.

Islam is not a hierarchical organized religion on lines of Catholicism, though the Qadri/sufi/barelwis with all their extravagant pomposity and glitzy costume flamboyance would like it to move in that direction…Therefore, MMA is not responsible for the actions of all the mullahs and molivs of this world, and definitely not those of the bhang-induced shirk committing halway manday walay gaddi nasheen fraudiay peer faqirs…For that do contact and MQM and Mushie, who are bankrolling and patronizing these scums of late…

nstar777:

Keeping all their other crimes aside, stop forcing your fatwa on other people. If you want to condemn someone’s crimes against society then do it, but keep your own biases within the wahhabi mosques.

To all those who are condemning all barelwis, and qadris for the abuse by one of their maulana; do you guys think salafi madressahs are free of any such abuses? So will you condemn all salafis as well?
Just for example, read following:

http://www.dawn.com/2005/08/20/ed.htm

The latest incident relates to the torture and sexual abuse of boys at a madressah at Dijkot, at some distance from Faisalabad. The madressah’s head and teachers have been arrested by the police who acted on the complaint of a visiting parent whose children were among the torture victims. The disclosures are horrifying. Madressah students, aged between four and 12, said that many were kept in chains, subjected to sexual assaults and burnt with hot iron rods. Time and again, newspapers have published similar reports, exposing the brutal, even fiendish mode of punishment that religious teachers routinely administer to their students on the slightest pretext, without the faintest regard for the mental and psychological damage that such punishment causes to the young victims.

Acid attack on boy who ‘refused sex with Muslim cleric’

By Massoud Ansari in Karachi

On his hospital bed last week, 16-year-old Abid Tanoli sat listless and alone, half of his body covered by burns that all but destroyed both his eyes and left his face horribly disfigured.

The teenager talked, with difficulty, of how his life had been destroyed since the fateful day in June 2002 when he refused to have sex with his teacher at a religious school in Pakistan.

The boy was horrifically injured in an acid attack after he rebuffed the Muslim cleric’s sexual advances. Now, he has alarmed Pakistan’s powerful religious establishment by pressing charges against his alleged assailants.

Lawyers and campaigners against sexual abuse of children say that it is not uncommon in Pakistan, especially in the segregated surroundings of the country’s estimated 20,000 religious schools, but cases involving members of the clergy are rarely - if ever - exposed.

A teacher at the school, who cannot be named for legal reasons, and two of his friends are in prison awaiting trial for attempted murder and rape. All three deny the charges. A fourth alleged attacker is still at large.

“They are either hushed up and sorted out within the confines of school, or parents are pressurised not to report the incident to the media as it would give religion a bad name,” said Zia Ahmed Awan, the president of Madadgaar, a joint project of LHRLA (Lawyers for Human Rights and Legal Aid) and Unicef, the United Nations children’s fund.

I personally knew a kid in Karachi who was very talkative, but he cringed with fear whenever the word ‘madressah’ was uttered in front of him.

^ Does it mean that ALL madressahs exploit and abuse children? If no then why generalize one case to condemn a whole section of population, even if one disagrees with some of their thoughts?

Why were our moral guardians after these acts were exposed? Did they not think of raiding these places and cleansing them of the perverts in charge?
