27 May 2000
The personnel of CIA Police Jamshed Quarter led
by notorious Inspector Haider Baig raided and ransacked the house of MQM worker
Ghufran Hameed. During the raid they
tortured, humiliated and harassed the family members for seven hours and kept
them hostage at the gunpoint.
According to details, on 27 May 2000, at around
3:00 a.m., the personnel of CIA Police Jamshed Quarter led by Inspector Haider
Baig raided the residence of Ghufran Hameed son of Abdul Majeed in
Gulshan-e-Iqbal. As Ghufran Hameed was not
present in the house, the raiding party brutally subjected the elderly parents
to torture. The mother of Ghufran
Hameed was dragged by her hair all along the house. His father was so mercilessly beaten that his face has been
swollen. The most horrific and
horrendous part of the raid was that the raiding party made the family hostage
and stayed in the house for seven hours.
During this time they continued with their humiliation and harassment to
the family members. Ghufran Hameed is
the Joint Incharge of All Pakistan Mohajir Students Organisation (APMSO -
Student Wing of MQM) Urdu Science College Unit.
The human rights organisations and the
international community are requested
take urgent notice of the atrocities and the highhandedness of the law enforcement
agencies, on the behest of the successive governments in Pakistan including the
present military government, against the innocent people of the Mohajir Nation
living in the province of Sindh, southern Pakistan and their sole
representative political party, the MQM.
