Sub:                             Pakistani Definition of Terror

 

I have the honor to write  your honor about the misery of 2 million innocent and peaceful people of Balawaristan (Pakistan Occupied Gilgit Baltistan) in the hands of Pakistan Army and it’s notorious intelligence agency ISI.

Terrorist section  6/7 imposed by the Occupying regime of Pakistan against all the detainees, who were arrested on  5 June 2004 in Gilgit, at the occasion  when the Shia community protested against Syllabus of Sooni dominant Islamiyat. Out of more than  90, 28 Prisoners have been detained in High School No 2 Jutiyal, Gilgit, while others are languishing in  Gilgit Jail in terrorism charges. While Talibaan, Al-Qaida , Harkatul-Mujahideen, Lashkar-e-Toiba and many others not only free for their act, but appreciated and protected by ISI and government of Pakistan.One can imagine the misery of the people of Balawaristan (Pakistan Occupied Gilgit Baltistan),  Occupation forces can impose terrorist or any kind of it’s own made law against the indigenous people of Balawaristan. The indigenous people have no right to appeal/writ against Pakistani atrocities and Human Rights violation in any court of the world.

The occupying regime and it’s notorious intelligence agency the ISI tried it’s worst to create sectarian clashes among the Sooni and Shia community by following it’s past practice. But by the grace of God, Sooni community shown it’s responsibility and remained patient during the whole riot of Shia Muslims against the Sooni dominated occupying regime of Pakistan and it’s forces. The Islamiyat syllabus issue is non issue,  which has been created by the occupying regime to divide the indigenous people in to sectarianism for their evil design to divide and rule, otherwise there was no separate Islamiyat book since early 70s. This lawless country Pakistan can impose Islamic, British and Marshal law against individual or parties at any time by any reason, otherwise there is no example in the world, where public uprising is termed as terrorism. The June incident against Pakistan’s duel policy of Islamiyat was public uprising not terrorism. But there is no check and balance system and no court can rein this country and it’s Military authority. Pakistan is the country, where a terrorist is declared as innocent and innocent person is declared as terrorist without consulting any court by the Military regime and it’s ISI and no one either court or individual can dare to say any thing against Pakistan Army and it’s ISI. If any one dares he/she will be no more to live.

The following detainees belong to Shorot, Khomar, Bagorote and Haramosh villages and Mahlas of Gilgit district are the example of Pakistan Army’s law of Jungle.

Besides this, the occupation regime has imposed ban against the local magazine  "KARGIL INTERNATIONAL" which was printing stories of those killed from Balawaristan (Pakistan Occupied Gilgit Baltistan) in Kargil War 1999 and was vocal about the way government of Pakistan  portrayed local soldiers of NLI as Mujahideen and the issue of killing local soldiers as mercenaries was linked with the status of the region albeit between the line. Periodical also demanded fresh probe into Kargil fiasco and also highlighted the plight of widows of those killed in Kargil War and this war according to Kargil magazine was a conspiracy to kill local soldiers and further subdue the local residents. These and other issues which were directed against the establishment prompted local admin to impose a ban on it, because Kargil International  was getting popularity among the local people.

Its Chief Editor Engineer Manzoor Hussain Parwana has not been seen  for the last 2-3 months because of the threat of some people on the instigation of Pakistani agencies. He was openly threaten by some religious fanatics, on the instigation of Pakistan Army and it’s  intelligence agency. Local Journalists are so afraid of the ISI and Pakistan Army, who cannot protest against such illegal and immoral acts of Pakistani imposed regime.

 News about the ban of Kargil International was published in Daily Dawn on 8th Sep. 2004

 

A NLI soldier belongs to Damas village of Ghezer district was released after 2 years from Indian Jail 2 months ago by mutual consensus of both the countries India and Pakistan, but he did not reach after lapse of 2 months neither  home nor his NLI unit concern. He has been kidnapped by ISI immediately after repatriated in to the boundary of Pakistan from Punjab India to Lahore Pakistan.

 

More than 100 political activists and leaders of this land including me are facing death sentence in sedition charges of Pakistani section 124 A, because we dared to protest against Pakistani occupation in peaceful public gathering, while there is no single case against those Kashmiris who do not accept Indian rule and do support terrorism against India in Indian part of J & K.

 

On the other hand, Pakistan is planning to build a Dam for it’s own benefit on this disputed land before the settlement of J & K issue as a result the large area of this part of the world will be submerged, which will badly effect it’s natural beauty, environment, life and resources .

 

Irony is that neither the indigenous people of  Balawaristan (Pakistan Occupied Gilgit Baltistan) are allowed to file a  writ/ appeal petition in Balawaristan nor in Pakistan against these and other Human Rights related cases.

 

More there is no any Human Rights Organization exists in this neglected part of disputed Jammu & Kashmir and international community, media and Human Rights champion also do not give any attention to the grave issue of the 2 million people of Balawaristan. The reason of apathy of international community is nothing but, because the people of Balawaristan are peaceful and did not take arms and ammunition to  attract the international community.

 

In the light of above mentioned Human Rights violation, we have no choice but to appeal the UNO, UNSC and Human Rights Organization, to take this matter seriously.
