Agency blamed for Raisani’s arrest

Published October 31, 2006

QUETTA, Oct 30: A member of the executive committee of the Balochistan National Party, Prof Naila Qadri, has accused a law-enforcement agency of arresting her husband Mir Ghulam Mustafa Raisani and denied that he is affiliated with the defunct Baloch Liberation Army.

Addressing a press conference at the press club here on Monday, she said a contingent of army and an anti-terrorist force entered their home at night, manhandled her husband and took him away.

She said the law-enforcement agency had first surrounded the Kanak valley by deploying dozens of armed vehicles, creating panic among people of the area.

She said her husband had undergone a major liver surgery and doctors had advised him complete bed-rest but the security officials had treated him harshly while taking him into custody.

Prof Qadri said her husband’s two farmhands, Amanullah and Mohammad Aslam, had also been arrested.

She appealed to the Balochistan High Court and the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan to take notice of the detentions.
