Toba Tek, Pakistan: September 18, 2013. (PCP) Iqra Saddique, a young girl from a village Siowaal, Toba Tek Singh was illegally detained by four policemen and one private person, Arif Gujjar, on 28-07-2013 after she denied to their demand of fornication with them. One of the policemen is identified by his name, Javed. The policemen and the private person after denial of fornication by the young girl, got furious and breaking the door entered into her house and brutally tortured her with so much of cruelty. All the accused policemen and the private person dragged her out of her house and they threw her in front of her house and started kicking, slapping and punching without even seeing where they were hitting the young girl. The policeman Javed and Arif Gujar tore her clothes (shirt and trouser) that she got completely naked in front of a big crowd. After a brutal torture and inhuman violence on the young lady the male policemen forced her to sit on motorcycle in the middle of two male policemen, the denial thereby the young lady resulted into more torture. The policemen took the young lady to the police station where she remained in illegal custody of police without arrest on documents. After five days on 05-08-2013, Sadaf Saddique Attorney at law along with others from Pakistan Christian Congress, media, NGOs and others went to the police station to ask about the young lady. The police first denied and later on accepted the custody of the young lady and to avoid pressure of the NGOs and people present, the police falsely accused the young lady into a robbery case. Mr. Sadaf Saddique (Attorney at Law), Mr. Akram Waqar Gill CEO Pakistan Christian Congress, Mr. Shahzad Fate president Pakistan Christian Congress Toba Tek Singh, Rashid Jalal and Ayub Anjum the rights activists struggled together for justice for the young girl. After a long battle and procrastinated litigation, we were able to prove that the young girl was falsely accused by policemen just to clean their hands of their brutal and inhuman violence. During all this process of the young lady’s freedom the police continued to try to prove the young lady convict and the police conspired together that her medical exam may be done away with so that the torture on the young lady by the policemen may not be proved. After being released on bail, Iqra Saddique with the help of Mr. Sadaf Saddique (Attorney at Law) has, today on 18-09-2013, submitted her application to the District Police Officer where Iqra has brought charges against the police that they entered into her house forcibly with criminal intention, tore her clothes and thereby exposed her naked in public at large, tortured and kidnapped her and that the policemen sexually seduced her in illegal police custody. Pakistan Christian Congress and Society will not let this severe and harsh persecution to go in vain. If the caretaker of the society will infringe upon the rights of the people, then who else the public may repose their trust into? That is the question every reasonable person must ask! I will request all the prayers of the readers that God may allow us to stand firm against all kinds of persecutions and that we continue to be the watchmen of rights and lives of the depressed and the poor and the needy ones! It is also noteworthy to mention that the crime of the policemen falls within the ambit of Section 354 A Pakistan Penal Code and is punishable with death sentence. If a woman is exposed naked to public view that her secret womanish parts are seen by people walking by the street, the crimes falls under section 345A PPC.
