Allegation: Woman says husband fitted tracker in her belly

LAHORE:

A woman from the Ghaziabad area alleged that her husband installed a device in her body that allows him to track all her movements.

An additional district and sessions judge sought comments from a Ghaziabad SHO in a petition filed by a woman seeking registration of a case against four men – including her husband and a judicial magistrate – for rape. She also submitted that her husband had fixed a tracker in her belly to monitor her movement.

Petitioner S* submitted that she married accused Muhammad Fiaz six years ago and was subsequently forced into prostitution.

She described an incident when her husband along with serving judicial magistrate Akram Azad came to her house in a drunken stupor and raped her. After this incident, her husband allegedly also brought other men, Mushtaq and Saleem, who also raped her.

Soon after, she said she separated from her husband, who later came to her house with an accomplice and made her inhale chemical fumes which caused her to fall unconscious.

She contended that when she regained consciousness, she found herself in the Services Hospital with stitches on her stomach. She said that her suspicions arose when her husband would easily track her down despite her being secretive about her whereabouts.

She claimed that a doctor revealed through an X-ray that a tracking device had been planted inside her. She prayed to the court to direct the respondent to register a case against the accused persons as the police had refused to help her.

Boy's HEAD found in home of Pakistani cannibals who had dug up more than 100 corpses from the local graveyard and eaten them...

• Three-year-old boy's head found in home of convicted cannibals in Pakistan
• Discovery made after residents complained of 'stench' at the house
• One brother arrested while the other is being hunted by police
• Men previously jailed for digging up and eating 100 corpses at burial site

A convicted cannibal has been rearrested in Pakistan after a young boy's head was discovered in his home.
The gruesome discovery of a three-year-old's head was made in the house of Mohammad Arif, 35, and his brother Mohammad Farman, 30.
The pair, from the small town of Darya Khan in the country's interior, had previously served two years in jail for cannibalism and were only released last year.
Scroll down for video

Mohammad Farman is pictured in 2011 after he was first arrested by police in Bhakkar, Pakistan. His brother Mohammad Arif has been rearrested after the head of a young boy was discovered at the home the two men shared.

At the time, local police said the two men had dug up more than 100 corpses from the local graveyard and eaten them.
Mohammad Arif has now been rearrested as an investigation gets underway in to the grim discovery at his house.
His brother Mohammad Farman is still being hunted by police.
District police chief, Ameer Abdullah, said officers swooped after residents complained of a bad smell coming from the brothers' home.


'Residents informed police after a stench emanated from the house of the two brothers,' he said.
'We raided the house on Monday morning and found the head of a young boy,' a district police chief, Ameer Abdullah, told Reuters.
'We have arrested one of the brothers, Mohammad Arif, and are conducting raids for the arrest of the other brother.'
Police were searching nearby graveyards to see if they had been disturbed, he said.
The pair were initially jailed after police found that the corpse of a 24-year-old woman had disappeared from its grave in 2011.


Further investigations led officers to the brothers' house where they found a cooking pot containing meat curry.
The brothers were later arrested by police and jailed for two years.
They had once both been married with children, but their wives are said to have left them ahead of being detained by police three years ago.

Artists install massive poster of child’s face in Pakistan field to shame drone operators

An artists collective has unfurled a massive poster showing a child’s face in a heavily bombed area of Pakistan in the hopes that it will give pause to drone operators searching the area for kills.

According to #notabugsplat, named after the description given to kills on the ground when viewed through grainy video footage, the artists – with help of villagers – unfurled the giant poster in a field in the Khyber Pukhtoonkhwa region of Pakistan.

The hope is that it will increase awareness of drone operators of human cost, or ‘collateral damage’, when drones are used to attack targets on the ground.

The massive poster is also large enough to be captured by satellites collecting landscapes for online mapping sites.

#notabugssplat claims the installation was done with the help of artists associated with French artist JR’s ‘Inside Out’ movement.

According to the Foundation for Fundamental Rights, the nameless child featured in the poster lost both her parents and two young siblings in a drone attack.

Aims: The group behind the installation of the giant poster, called Not a Bug Splat, say they wanted to put a face on the daily drone strikes that occur in the tribal reason

Residents of the village: The White House has played down the number of civilian deaths as a result of attacks, but families living in the community say it is a daily occurrence

Satellites: The artists also want the image to be part of mapping sites

Pakistani victims of US drone attack to appear before Congress, despite setbacks

Pakistani school teacher and his children will be the first drone victims to testify before Congress on Tuesday, October 29. Their lawyer, however, has been prevented from entering the US.

Last October, Rafiq ur Rehman was out visiting his sister when a drone missile struck near his home, killing his mother, Momina Bibi, 67, and injuring his three children.
 
Rehman, a primary school teacher in North Waziristan, will speak to Congress about his experience on Tuesday, as will two of his children: Nabeela, age 9, and Zubair, age 13.

“I have no idea why my grandmother was killed. When the drone hit, I was outside with my grandmother. Everything became dark, I was scared, so I started to run. Then I noticed my hand was bleeding, so I tried to clean my hand, but blood kept coming out. But I was very scared, so I just kept running,” the killed woman’s granddaughter Nabeela told RT’s Gayane Chichakyan.

“My mother was killed, my children were injured. I’m so glad that people are going to hear our story. That’s why we came to America. We have no idea why my village and our house was targeted,” the woman’s son Rehman said to RT.
 
The Rehmans were invited to the United States by Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.), who said it’s important to hear from those living under the eye of the country’s controversial drone program.
 
“When it comes to national security matters like drone strikes, it’s important that we hear not only from the proponents of these attacks, but also from the victims,” Grayson said in a statement. “They have a unique perspective to share with Congress, and I hope that my colleagues will attend this important event.”
 
Originally, the Congressional briefing was scheduled for last month, but the State Department declined to issue a visa to the Rehmans’ attorney, Shahzad Ahkbar.

"It's not like my name is scratched because there is some sort of confusion. My name is blocked!" Akbar told the Guardian in September.

"Before I started drone investigations I never had an issue with US visas. In fact, I had a US diplomatic visa for two years."

According to Akbar, his travel restrictions prevented him from speaking at a human rights conference in Washington last April, and most recently he was also absent at a "Life Under Drones," part of a drones conference at New York University.

Despite Akbar’s absence, with Rep. Grayson’s help the Rehman family was able to secure travel arrangements for the October 29 meeting.
 
The briefing comes only a few days after a Washington Post report revealed that Pakistan’s government officials secretly approved of U.S. drone strikes in the country despite public condemnations to the contrary.
 
The Rehmans, however, would like to get some answers during their visit to the U.S. The family says it still has no clue why Momina Bibi was targeted and killed in her garden last year. In the account given to the Guardian, Nabeela said she was picking okra in the garden with her grandmother when she suddenly heard a loud noise
 
"I was scared,” she said. “I noticed that my hand was hurting, that there was something that had hit my hand and so I just started running. When I was running I noticed that there was blood coming out of my hand."

"I had seen my grandmother right before it had happened but I couldn't see her after. It was just really dark but I could hear [a] scream when it had hit her."
 
Nabeela and Zubair were both rushed to the hospital, but by the time their father made it home the remains of Momina Bibi had already been buried.
 
The first reports concerning the incident claimed that up to four militants were killed in the strike, but Amnesty International Researcher Mustafa Qadri noted the many red flags that were raised by the various accounts.

“We got all sorts of different stories to begin with," Qadri said to the Guardian. "One was that [Bibi] was preparing a meal for some militants and that's why she was killed. Another one was that there was a militant on a motorbike, right next to her. And then there's this story of, that there was a militant in a jeep, SUV, with a satellite phone, at the exact point that she's killed, but 10 minutes earlier. He used the phone and then he drives off into the distance. And then the drones come later and they kill her. So we found that that just really did not add up."

Qadri also found that the missile directly and physically struck Momina Bibi, suggesting that she was specifically targeted. The lack of answers, and the unwillingness of the U.S. government to clarify the situation, simply casts even more doubt on the drone program, Qadri claimed.
 
"That secrecy, the unaccountability, the lack of lawfulness to it, is the key problem," he said. "In the context of Pakistan and just in the very micro sense, I don't think drones alone are the problem. It's the way they're used and it's the way they're used in isolation, ignoring the broader factors in that region."
 
Regardless of what the number is or isn’t, Rehman wants to take his opportunity to tell the American people what it’s like living with drones, and that the program is causing real damage.
 
"I want them to know the drones are having an impact on our lives,” he said. "It's hitting our elders. It took my mom. It's effected my children and we haven't done anything wrong."

For its part, the Obama administration says it has an official tally on civilian casualties as a result of drone strikes, but it refuses to share the number for national security reasons. It claims the count is significantly lower than the numbers floating around in public (ranging anywhere between dozens to hundreds of deaths).

Brian Becker, an anti-war activist, told RT that while congressional leaders have yet to devote any energy into finding a meaningful way to curb drone activity, it is up to them to stop what Becker says has become an inherently criminal program.

“What we see with this shocking case of a 67-year-old grandmother in her garden with her grandchildren is the direct targeted victim of the drone attack. In other words the missile hit her directly, blew her apart and then a second attack against her surviving family members when they came to the scene,” he said. “If nothing shocks the conscience of the Congress like this then nothing ever will.

“We see that this is a criminal action by the US government,” Becker continued. “The drone pilots who carried out the direct, violent death of this 67-year-old grandmother, they should be arrested and so should their superiors.” 

Defining this war

At a lunch the other day, a senior leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf asked a former general if the army can defeat terrorism and bring peace. It was a sincere question posited in the context of the current controversy over proposed peace talks with the Pakistani Taliban. Yet it betrayed a lack of understanding of the nature of this war, how to fight it and what would define victory.
While I do feel like Beckett’s tramps trapped in a silent universe, let me try and put some basics on the table again.

First, this war is not like an interstate war. While everyone knows that, or thinks he does, most do not understand the implications of that fact. This war has no front and no rear. It is being fought among the people. The enemy is elusive, flexible, ruthless and adept at countering and neutralising the state’s superior force.

Corollary: there are no defined boundaries of this war, and there is no line separating the zones of war and peace. Fighting it is more difficult because force has to be used, for the most part, deftly rather than overwhelmingly.

Second, the groups fighting the state act both as insurgents and terrorists. That requires using different techniques and operating in different environments. The two prongs complement each other. While the state has largely degraded these groups’ capacity in the badlands through military operations, it has been less successful in countering terrorism in urban centres. This point is important because when we talk about jaw-jawing with the militants, the argument generally is that the state has been unable to put them down. That is only partially true. But to degrade their capability more fully, the state will have to put them in a nutcracker, taking them on effectively in both the periphery and in the urban centres. It hasn’t done that so far — at least not effectively.

Third, even in the periphery, while force has been used to dominate physical space, the other two corners of the triangle, social-psychological and fiscal-economic, have not been addressed with the same vigour. The army is not trained to do that and the civil administration hasn’t really caught on to the changed ecosystem of the tribal areas. Moreover, mistakes have been made and the Taliban, sensibly from their strategic perspective, have exploited them.

Fourth, the strategy of dislocation, isolating the insurgent/terrorist from the context that strengthens him, has nearly failed. In a plethora of narratives, the realities have got lost even for educated people. This is further helped by imperfect information, growing Islamism begotten over four decades, arguing, beyond what is necessary, that the internal threat is simply a blowback of American actions and when the Americans are gone the Taliban will suddenly become law-abiding citizens. The proponents of this narrative deny the Taliban threat and focus more on the threat from the US and its espionage activities — a fact — passing off the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan as a reaction to drone strikes, arguing that these are innocent tribesmen gone bad, et cetera.

(NB: Watch a TV programme on a Pakistani news channel, or even sit through a high-end conference, and you would be struck by the non sequiturs mouthed by even educated people. As for the Taliban apologists, they lie in the holy cause.)

Fifth, there is no real understanding that the TTP doesn’t have a solid, central command structure, but is a franchise of dozens of small and large groups. This fact, as should be obvious, has implications for the chinwag enthusiasts. Who will they talk to?

Sixth, in a deregulated ecosystem, the conventional definitions of war and peace, victory and defeat do not apply. This also means that there can be no real timeline of when this will end. Relative periods of peace will be shattered by a terrorist act or an insurgent attack. So, whether we want to jaw-jaw or war-war or jaw-jaw and war-war, we must be very clear that there is no return to the old world.

I stress this point because the not-so-hidden assumption behind the desire to talk is that it will transport us back to the state of innocence before Man ate the forbidden fruit. What is of course possible, over a period of time, is that the state, through hard work, can degrade the capability of the non-state actors to a level with which the state and society can live and even prosper.

Seventh, doing the sixth would require formulating short- to medium- to long-term strategies. The idea is to move from firefighting to less of it and use the space acquired through fighting to the state’s advantage. While the monopoly of violence is – or should be – the exclusive trait of the state, it must equally come across as concerned and benign to those who accept its writ. Good governance must, therefore, be the other prong.
In this context, it is important to note that for the majority of the people, the acceptance of the state’s monopoly of violence is directly proportional to the legitimacy of its actions. And legitimacy is largely a function of benignity, not malignance. Or as Nazih Ayubi put it so brilliantly, the state must be strong, not hard.

Eighth, fighting or talking is not an either/or proposition. Conflicts ultimately are settled or ended through talking. The controversy about whether we should talk or fight rests on a specious premise. The issue is not talking per se but understanding when to talk and who to talk to. Deregulated environments do not allow for linear approaches. The argument that since fighting hasn’t worked so talking is better is flawed at two levels. One, fighting has worked. The badlands today are not what they were in 2007. Two, talking in and of itself will not beget the desired result.

Finally, war is communication. The Taliban are addressing the Pakistanis. The state has to realise that it, too, is supposed to do that. The Taliban narrative is clear, concise and precise. It exploits the fault lines within. The state’s narrative is confused and timid. The problem with the irresolute All-Party Conference is not that the politicos want to talk but that they have communicated weakness. This might come across as a no-brainer to anyone with a brain, but they don’t seem to get it.

Hundreds of passengers stuck in airport for TWO DAYS after plane fault in Manchester are offered hotel rooms 85 miles away

• Airblue flight was due to fly from Manchester to Islamabad on Friday
• Passengers fed chips and beans to keep them going during delays
• Told flight would take off on Saturday - but then it was delayed again
• Offered hotel rooms in Birmingham and flight eventually left last night

More than 300 aeroplane passengers were delayed for 48 hours without proper food at an airport after a flight developed a technical fault.
The Airblue flight was due to fly from Manchester Airport to Islamabad in Pakistan, at 9.50pm on Friday - and passengers were fed chips and beans to keep them going during the delays.
Passengers spent Friday night in hotels in Manchester and then returned to the airport to wait for the flight again on Saturday - but were later told it was being delayed until 3pm yesterday.

Waiting game: The Airblue flight was due to fly from Manchester Airport to Islamabad in Pakistan, at 9.50pm on Friday - but passengers were fed chips and beans to keep them going during the delays

Airline officials then offered to put up the irate passengers in a hotel some 80 miles away in Birmingham, West Midlands, because they said there were no rooms available in Manchester. 

Most refused the offer and slept overnight in the airport, which is located south of Manchester city centre, only to find the plane again missed its take-off slot. The flight finally took off late last night.
But that meant delays for the passengers who were booked to go on that plane - who were told they would be delayed for 24 hours. Some travellers said that the delays had left families in tears.
Matthew Miller, 38, was originally due to catch a flight on Tuesday evening but it was cancelled. So when he turned up to catch the plane on Friday night, he was furious to find he was grounded again.
He said: ‘I’m a maths teacher and the term is about to start in Pakistan. I thought I’d be getting back in good time but as it is I’ll be lucky to get there by Monday. The mood is terrible.

Stressful: Passengers spent Friday night in hotels in Manchester and then returned to the airport to wait for the flight again on Saturday - but were later told it was being delayed until 3pm yesterday

‘People are shouting and in tears. The airline just aren’t communicating with us - over the whole time they have given us about 40 minutes. The food is chips and beans.’

'People are shouting and in tears. The airline just aren’t communicating with us. The food is chips and beans'
Matthew Miller, passenger
A passenger named Javed told BBC Five Live on Saturday night: ‘It has to be seen to be believed.
'There's 300 people here. Children, diabetics, non-English speaking people that can't even understand the tannoys. I'm seeing people making expensive phone calls to Pakistan.
'I'm seeing people that cannot keep their fasts. I see people that have no access to food when it comes to opening their fasts. It is a shambles and an embarrassment to British society.
'To keep saying we will inform you in two hours, and in two hours they say: “We will inform you in two hours”. I've chosen to eat virtually nothing because I didn't want to have chips and beans again.'

Carrier: Islamabad-based Airblue is Pakistan's second biggest airline. A file photo of one of its planes is seen

Ordeal: Most passengers slept overnight in the airport (file picture), which is located south of Manchester city centre, only to find the plane again missed its take-off slot.

The flight finally took off late last night
Many passengers spent Saturday night in Manchester Airport rather than travel to the accommodation offered by the airline about 80 miles away in Birmingham.

'There's 300 people here. Children, diabetics, non-English speaking people that can't even understand the tannoys. It is a shambles and an embarrassment to British society'

Javed, passenger
A Manchester Airport spokesman said:

‘They are working on the problem with the current aircraft. The passengers who were supposed to be on the 10pm flight on Sunday have been informed at home.’

‘The staff on the ground are doing their best to help sort out accommodation and food but the majority of the communication has to come from the airline. We are doing what we can.
‘Understandably passengers are frustrated and we can only apologise for the delay.’

Islamabad-based Airblue is Pakistan’s second biggest airline. Nobody was available to be contacted last night, although a spokesman previously said passengers were offered ‘every compensation’.

FLYERS' RIGHTS: HOW EU LAWS ARE HELPING THE STRANDED SUE

Pakistan investigates brutal mob killing of brothers

Pakistan's government has launched an inquiry into the brutal killing by a mob of two teenage brothers in the eastern city of Sialkot.
The 15 August lynchings were captured on video and have outraged Pakistanis.
In the footage the youths protest their innocence as they are beaten with sticks and wires by a group of men before being strung up on metal poles.
Police officers and other on-lookers did nothing. Officials say the mob mistook the brothers for robbers.
The BBC's Syed Shoaib Hasan in Islamabad says it is clear from the footage that the two brothers - Mughees Butt, 19, and Muneeb Butt, 15 - were alive as they were hung from the poles.
At one point, the screaming youths ask to be shot so their ordeal might end.
Local police officials have been suspended while the investigation is held.
Our correspondent says the lynching has raised more questions about the government at a time when its popularity has plummeted to new depths, following accusations it was slow to respond to floods that have caused havoc across Pakistan.

Mob justice has been quite the norm, in Sindh, in Punjab and elsewhere in the country. The killings in Sialkot are a reminder that these murderers are getting more brutal, more dehumanised with each incident. The causes behind the madness that led to the lynching are still being probed. What is clear, however, is that the police were involved. Video footage of the incident shows policemen who seem to be part of the mob. The Supreme Court has taken notice of the double murder. The SHO ‘concerned’ has been arrested and a case registered against 14 people. The IG Punjab has suspended a few policemen in Sialkot and Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif has also woken up to the situation. As he castigated the police the chief justice remarked: “What message have you given to the world about Pakistan?” One could say, with due respect to the judiciary, that the act would have been bad enough had it remained hidden from an international audience.

The agents who promote such despicable acts of violence must be identified. Those in the media must introspect and see how much they have contributed to the sense of desperation found among Pakistani citizens today, while the police must be taken to task along with rulers who encourage the law-enforcers and the general public to play judge and executioner. The very day newspapers reported the Sialkot double-murder, they also carried a news item about the awarding of the Tamgha-i-Imtiaz to the DIG Gujranwala, Zulfiqar Cheema, for “maintaining law and order”. The police officer, in whose jurisdiction Sialkot also falls, appears to do his job in a manner that is condemnable. There are serious allegations that under his watch people have been killed in encounters and their bodies paraded through the streets. When the state rewards such actions, it is actively creating conditions for incidents such as the one that took place in Sialkot. The state is no less guilty than the SHO who has been booked.

SIALKOT: While Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani Sunday ordered the suspension of District Police Officer Waqar Chohan, Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif changed the investigation officer of the case, and directed the authorities concerned to detain the suspended DPO.
The suspension of the DPO was recommended by the Punjab chief minister in a telephonic conversation with the prime minister on Sunday evening. Shahbaz Sharif, accompanied by Pakistan Muslim League-N Quaid Nawaz Sharif, Sunday visited the bereaved family and later addressed a press conference at the residence of MNA Khwaja Muhammad Asif in Sialkot Cantt.
He said Additional Inspector General CID Punjab Mushtaq Sukhera would head a five-member joint enquiry committee, which would complete the investigation process within a week. He said the Inspector General Police Punjab had been directed to arrest all the accused including the police officials and onlookers within three days.
He said after the inquiry completion, the FIR against the police officials would be changed. Shahbaz also ordered the arrest of former Sialkot DPO. He said an anti-terrorist court would hear the case on daily-basis and the decision would come in days or weeks, and not in months or years. He appreciated the role of print and electronic media in highlighting the barbaric incident.
Nawaz Sharif said on the occasion that the killings were a barbaric incident and everyone present there, including the police officials, were responsible for it and they would be brought to justice.
Nawaz said the police, district administration and ordinary citizens had briefed him about the sad incident and revealed that both the brothers belonged to a gentle, noble and well-off business family, and they had no previous criminal record of any kind.
Punjab Governor Salmaan Taseer also visited the family of the murdered boys - Hafiz Mughees and Muneeb Sajjad. Talking to journalists on the occasion, Taseer sought pardon from the nation over the killing of two brothers in the presence of the police and the public.
Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah, meanwhile, said the culture of mass brutality was introduced by the Gujranwala police a year or so back when the bodies of alleged criminals were paraded in public.
Meanwhile, Shams Ali, one of the accused involved in the barbaric killings, claimed that he carried out the murders at the behest of DPO Waqar Chohan. He quoted the DPO as saying: “Go ahead and kill both of them. Police will claim the responsibility for the killings and declare it a police encounter.” Shams Ali told Geo News that his 12-year-old nephew also sustained injuries in the firing before the episode of torture of the brothers.
Punjab Rescue Services Director General Dr Rizwan Nasir meanwhile suspended the in-charge of Rescue 1122 office, Shaukat Ali Sajid, and his seven subordinates on the charges of helping the killers. The Rescue 1122 office is situated at Daska-Sialkot Road near village Buttar and the staff had provided the mob ropes to tie the hands and feet of the two ill-fated brothers.
On the other hand, scores of young men from Mohalla Hajipura attacked the Rescue 1122 office for allegedly helping the culprits. However, the staff fled the office and saved their lives. Police from Saddar Sialkot police station rushed to the scene and baton-charged the angry mob to disperse them.
