Central Contact Committee of Hizb ut Tahrir Wilayah Pakistan Sent Delegations to Human Rights Commission Pakistan

The Central Contact Committee of Hizb ut Tahrir Wilayah Pakistan sent delegations to the Human Rights Commission Pakistan's Offices in Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad. The delegations submitted a letter calling for the human rights activists to mobilize for the release of the advocates for Khilafah "Caliphate". It also presented detailed profiles of some of the prominent cases, including that of Naveed Butt, Spokesman of Hizb ut Tahrir who has been held in abduction since 11 May 2012, his whereabouts still unknown, as well as Saad Jagranvi, Chairman of the Central Contact Committee who was arrested on 22 April 2015. Many of those arrested and abducted in Pakistan have suffered severe torture, including sleep deprivation, merciless beatings, forced mind-altering medication and electric shocks at the hands of security agencies. The authorities have repeatedly denied essential medical treatment and visitation rights to those in prison. And families, friends and well-wishers of both the imprisoned and abducted have been repeatedly, threatened by the Pakistani security agencies.

The Central Contact Committee of Hizb ut Tahrir Wilayah of Pakistan demands from the sincere Muslims in Pakistan, particularly from the people of influence within Pakistan’s judiciary, legal fraternity, security apparatus and human rights sections, to speak up now on behalf of these sincere advocates of Khilafah "Caliphate" (Caliphate) upon the method of the Prophethood, in order to end the severe persecution being inflicted upon them.
