PESHAWAR, Aug 13: A woman has moved the Peshawar High Court against the Inter-Service Intelligence, saying it has been keeping her husband, Ibne Ameen, in illegal detention for the last two years.

Ms Ameena, through a habeas corpus petition she filed on Saturday, alleged that she was also kept in illegal detention in her house in Malik Nadeem Town for about a week in August 2004. She said that personnel of the police and the intelligence agency took away all her belongings, including money.

Her husband Ibne Ameen and her brother Abdul Salam are co-petitioners.

Ms Ameena said they belonged to Swat and her husband had brought her to Peshawar as she was pregnant and needed medical care. She said her husband worked at a tyre shop. She said she gave birth to a baby girl three months after her husband had been arrested.

On Aug 26, 2004, she said, ISI personnel picked up her husband and later in the evening some officials along with the police raided her house. She said they took away various articles, including religious literature, audio and video cassettes, money and some belongings of her husband.

She said the officials kept her in wrongful confinement. Later, her brother was informed by neighbours about the situation and he visited her residence, but he was not allowed entry.

At last, she said, police allowed her to leave the place. She complained that her husband had neither been produced before any court nor had she been informed where he had been kept.

Ms Ameena requested the court to take notice of the ‘robbery’ committed at her residence by ISI and police personnel and issue production order for her husband and ensure his release. — Bureau
