MQM office bearer forced to change party loyalties under torture

The MQM Convenor Dr. Imran Farooq has condemned the arrest, fabricated charges and human torture upon Mohammad Naeem Khan, MQM office bearer from Hyderabad, Sindh province, Pakistan.  He was arrested on 21 July 2001 on fabricated charges.

He was asked by the intelligence agencies to change his allegiance from MQM.  When Naeem Khan refused, his captors went wild they hung him upside down, beat him up merciless and even applied the barbaric “Cheera” on him.

He was in such unbearable pain that he attempted to take his own life.  His condition was so poorly that the authorities admitted him into a hospital.  But only after a day he was shifted to an unknown place despite protests from MQM leaders the he is in no condition to leave the hospital.  The following day he was brought to the court in a dazed state to make a statement.  Intelligence agencies and Haqiqi terrorists created an atmosphere of terror inside and outside the court.  In such condition he was made to make a statement.

Dr. Imran Farooq has registered the human rights organisations world wide to take serious notice of blatant violation of human rights and desecration of the rule of law.
