1971: A Forgotten Story
Posted by articulating Oct 8, 2005 03:49 am
i wish i cud explain how deeply i was moved by the fact that many people have wasted their lives in dark prisons as nameless prisoners......three decades is a long time i keep wondering what happened...and i didnt even know that prisoners from 1971 war are still imprisoned......insane attitude of the goverments.......thanx for this information........

Mukhtaran Mai vs. the Rest of Pakistan
Posted by articulating Oct 5, 2005 01:24 pm
naeem, its good to have a senstive guy in pakistan ......one thing.......its not the martian women who are prone to rape..... in this soceity, all of us are... especially if the rapist will be protected.....rape is a crime against the state.... if mukhtaran has this story......anybody can.....infact she has put a face to a horrific truth which we denied to feel more secure....crime is commited everywhere, against anyone but...the state should never protect criminals........thats a leap in the dark ages....we wont sit in the house knitting our sweaters if our women are raped.......we will stand up.....dr.shazia has the same story.......to me her case was even worst....and all these cases get media aid cuz the laws are almost if not completely against the victims.....the thing is , when these leaders do this injustice to us...when they try to keep information discreet...they too get caught in the same swamp they help create.....the mysterious plain crashes, the kidnappings and the failed attempts to end exiles.....i am not hinting poetic justice.....this how the circle gets vicious.....i hope i made sense...i wanna hear more of things like this
thanx!.........Ammara
