Hizb ut-Tahrir delegation handed over protesting letter to Bangladesh embassy in Islamabad

A delegation of Hizb ut-Tahrir comprising Imran Yousafzai, Deputy Spokesman Hizb ut-Tahrir and member Hizb ut-Tahrir Tahir Khan visited the Bangladesh embassy yesterday and delivered a protesting letter against the brutal torture inflicted on the arrested activists of Hizb ut-Tahrir in Bangladesh. The delegation requested the meeting with the ambassador but the representatives of the coward government refused the meeting. Khilafah has strongly protested in the letter against the brutal torture on more than a dozen arrested activists of Khilafah by the notorious sadist agency "Task force For Interrogation". The members were arrested and handed over to this sadist agency on 22nd December and 19th January. The notoriety of this agency knew no bound when recently Guardian printed several stories of their torture. Despite the fact that all Muslim and western government knew with full certainty that Khilafah is a political party and its members are not involved in militancy, Bangladesh government banned the party under the diktats of their western masters. Its Spokesman, chief coordinator and other position holders were arrested and its members are being subjected to inhumane torture. These tortures include blindfolding and severely beating with batons, subjecting to electric shock, applied to their genitals, for up to the duration of 45 minutes, stripping naked, tied and left hanging upside down and squashing between slabs of ice for lengthy periods. In this letter, Khilafah also convulsed the human right organization to mobilize against this brutality on these prisoners of conscious. Let the rulers remember, Khilafah will take stock of their animosity with Islam and subservience to Kufr. And InshaAllah, the day is not far!
