MQM CENTRAL CO-ORDINATION COMMITTEE HAS CONDEMNED THE UNCONSTITUTIONAL ARREST OF MQM HYDERABAD SECTOR OFFICE BEARER MOHAMMAD ARIF

According to our information the personnel of Phalily Police Station, Hyderabad arrested Mohammad Arif 34, son of Haji Ghulam Mohammad on Thursday 23 August 2001.  The police has not brought him to any court of law nor do they accept arresting him.   MQM Co-ordination Committee members stated that to implicate MQM’s worker in false and fabricated cases, un constitutional arrest and illegal detention is a daily routine of the Punjabi Police.  Since the time of his arbitrary arrest and unlawful detention, Mohammad Arif is being most brutally tortured.

This is also very obvious that state forces are using it’s unconstitutional power to suppress the voice of MQM in Sindh province, Southern Pakistan.

We appeal to all the Human Rights Organisations including the Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch to use their good offices to save the life of Mohammad Arif, who’s life is in real danger at the hands of unscrupulous police officials.
