aus einer ersten Erklärung von Baba Jan, mehr aktuelle Meldungen hier und hier, mehr zum Thema u.a. hier:

On his release from jail today, Baba Jan asked Comrade Abdul Jalal to convey the following message to all supporters:

1. He wishes to thank all those who have participated in the campaign to secure his release and that of his fellow detained comrades – whether someone signed a petition, wrote a letter, an article, organised or attended a demonstration, a sit-in or a teach-in.

2. We are all learning to campaign more effectively for common causes and this experience will help us in our struggles in the future.

Baba Jan’s supporters in Gilgit-Baltistan have organised a rally from Gilgit City to Aliabad in Hunza Valley, his native region. The rally starts at 12 noon from Col. Hassan Market, Gilgit City.

Die gute Nachricht des Tages: Baba Jan, Iftikhar Hussain, Amir Ali, Ameer Khan and Rashid Minhas werden auf Kaution entlassen werden

Die Hunza Five: fünf Aktivisten der Labour Party Pakistan (LPP) und der Progressive Youth Front (PYF) werden höchstwahrscheinlich morgen auf Kaution aus dem Knast entlassen werden. Die Hunza Five wurden Ende April wegen ihres Einsatzes für die Belange flutgeschädigter BewohnerInnen in der Region Baltistan-Gilgit im pakistanisch besetzten Teil Kaschmirs inhaftiert und gefoltert, mehr zur aktuellen Entwicklung des Falles auf ESSF und auf Free Baba Jan!.

Solidarität mit Baba Jan, Iftikhar Hussain, Amir Ali, Ameer Khan und Rashid Minhas!

Die Human Rights Commission of Pakistan ruft dazu auf, die pakistanischen Autoritäten mittels Eingaben unter Druck zu setzen, um die Freiheit von fünf inhaftierten und gefolterten Mitgliedern der Labour Party Pakistan (LPP) und der Progressive Youth Front (PYF) in Gilgit im von Pakistan besetzten Teil von Kaschmir zu erreichen:

„Five political activists are being tortured in Gilgit jail, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. These political activists who were in jail for the last many months are facing very harsh treatment for protesting against the poor quality of food and delay in hearing of cases of prisoners at the jail. They have been incarcerated for protesting on behalf of the victims of forced displacement on account of the Attaabad landslide in January 2010.

On April 28, 2012 five political activists were visited by police and security agencies in jail and they were tortured on dubious charges of leading the protest in prison. One of the activists’ Baba Jan suffered two broken fingers and injuries to his head and other parts of his body. Despite the orders of the court Baba Jan and other victims have not been examined by doctor and not been hospitalized in violation of court orders.“
