Here is a report on a young Christian Girl that has been tortured and raped by Policemen in Toba Tek Singh District, formerly part of Faisalabad. We reproduce the report prima facie (sic):
A Christian
young girl, Iqra Saddique D/O Saddique Masih of Chak No. 330
JB, Toba Tek Singh is another Christian female persecution case in Pakistan . She is hardly 22 years old
and has been arrested by police in anonymous case. Against the arrest laws of
females in Pakistan, she was arrested or better I say kidnapped by four male
police men, was tortured in her house, on the street and on the road of her
house and village and later on the police men took her on the motor bike, one
sitting in front and one on the back and they torturing thereby the young lady
forced her to sit in the middle of the two police men on motor cycle. This is
severely against the laws in promulgation in Pakistan where only ladies police
constables can arrest girls and women. Furthermore it is important to tell that
Iqra's mother has not been allowed to meet Iqra during all these five days of
illegal custody in City Police Station, Toba Tek Singh. These policemen not only
arrest this young Christian lady, but also tortured her in front of her house,
on the street of her house and on the road nearby her village. The village
people witnessed it. Later on she has been taken to the city police station Toba
Tek Singh, where she has been kept for five days without any legalities and she
has not been produced to the court of law until now. Chief Organizer Pakistan
Christian Congress Akram Waqat Gill, General Secretary Punjab Sadaf Saddique
Khokhar Advocate, District Toba Tek Sing President Shahzad Fateh, Ayub Anjum of
Society for Human Development as delegation went to the city police station,
Toba, to inquire into the matter and met with the concerned authorities and also
met Iqra Saddique. Iqra Saddique told us in front of police that she has been
tortured by police men that she was tortured also and now she is in illegal
police custody in City Police Station Toba Tek Singh! We were told that District
Police Officer was on a place of railway track where bomb blasted in train and
there we share our condolence with the DPO and then told him about Iqra
Saddique. He did not respond encouraging and just told us that he will look into
the matter and will ask the police station to produce Iqra in the court soon! We
asked him take action against the police men who did this illegal arrest. We
rely upon the fact that police is not going to take action. So tomorrow we are
going into a rally protest to fight for Iqra and demand justice for her! You are
requested to join with us in prayers, faith, trust and
expectancy!
