ANOTHER MQM
WORKER EXTRA-JUDICIALLY MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD BY KARACHI POLICE
On 2 July 1999, at around 1.30 a.m., the
personnel of Frere Police Station in plain clothes ruthlessly
murdered Waqar, an active worker of MQM Unit 6, Sector Defence.
According to details, plain clothed personnel arrested Waqar from
a restaurant in Delhi Colony, Karachi. Immediately after his
arrest, Waqar was shot down at point blank range. For the next
two hours no one including his family members were allowed to
remove the corpse from the street.
Waqar 21, son of Siddique is a resident of
Delhi Muslim Colony, Karachi. He was unmarried and leaves behind
his elderly parents and seven sisters. It is important to note
that for the past several days ASI Khurram and ASI Babar of Frere
Police Station were inquiring about his whereabouts and
threatening the family members and neighbours that Waqar would be
killed as soon as he is apprehended.
The law enforcers in Karachi, notorious for
extra-judicial killings nationally and internationally and for
custodial deaths of MQM workers and supporters, have now changed
their tactics. They are now operating in plain clothes to deceive
the national and international community that no extra-judicial
killings are taking place.
Since the suspension of elected Sindh Assembly
and imposition of Governor Rule in the province of Sindh, dozens
of MQM workers have either been murdered extra-judicially,
illegally arrested, tortured in custody, falsely implicated in
murder cases and awarded death penalties by the PML Government
appointed Anti Terrorist Courts judges.
