Comments on: Pakistan’s Disappeared Victims: An Interview With Amina Masood Janjua http://sanasaleem.com/2009/09/04/pakistan%e2%80%99s-disappeared-victims-an-interview-with-amina-masood-janjua/ Tue, 09 Mar 2010 07:17:41 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: The Dawn Blog » Blog Archive » Out of sight, out of mind http://sanasaleem.com/2009/09/04/pakistan%e2%80%99s-disappeared-victims-an-interview-with-amina-masood-janjua/#comment-2219 The Dawn Blog » Blog Archive » Out of sight, out of mind Fri, 22 Jan 2010 11:40:58 +0000 http://sanasaleem.com/?p=1462#comment-2219 [...] Speaking to Janjua about her case, I was amazed by her unwavering dedication and hope for the return of her husband along with hundreds of others who have gone missing.  When I asked her how she expected the nation to rise to the issue and participate in her struggle, she offered a simple and doable solution. We need a forum to mobilise the youth of the country. We aim towards making an environment where human rights matter. A society that is safe and respects the rights of individuals. Apart from this being an emotional dilemma, it is also an economic crisis. Most families have lost their sole earners; they are even deprived of necessities such as flour. My organisation caters for them as well as raising voice for their lost ones. I would request help from all factions of the society lawyers, NGOs, writers, human right activists, youth and everyone else to join in our cause. Arrange seminars help our cause grow. For those living abroad could help by sending funds, which would be used to arrange seminars and to support the families of the victims.

I never knew the exact statistics of the disappearing people. I did not realize how ugly this is in our country. These abducted people have a right to prove their innocence and by law they are innocent until proven guilty. I honor the ugly job our forces have to do in the name of maintaining law and order and putting criminals behind bars, but there is a protocol and a set of rules that needs to be followed for all law enforcement procedures. Its the duty of the agencies to abide by these rules and avoid violating the civil rights of anyone. Do arrest people by all means if you have enough proof and the guilty should be brought to justice, but not in dark and secretive ways that overshadow the good that is behind all such actions.

I feel crawling back is one of the options but certainly a very difficult one. Whether it's a matter of disappearing people, black water, presidential powers or numerous other social and state issues - we've gone a bit more silent than our permission of freedom of speech through our constitution. Well, who cared about the constitution anyways - Just another book I feel. Masood Janjua is still remembered in great words with the local business community of Islamabad - everyone has a tale to tell but no one collectively wants to march down to the Presidential Palace for a revolution to take place for not just the injustice that took place with over a dozen families but for a lot more issues that collectively threat us every minute while we dream to either become a great person or maybe richer instead. Hang Mushi or salute him, I would really not care - Things would not change unless we quit political drama's, through off these useless actors and find that one sincere leader who's been missing since the death of Quaid-e-Azam. We've lost focus on the very ideology Pakistan was created on. That focus needs to be injected back in each citizen of this country else we certainly don't have answers to the questions of our future generations. We’ve gone too far to have become a numb state. I feel crawling back is one of the options but certainly a very difficult one. Whether it’s a matter of disappearing people, black water, presidential powers or numerous other social and state issues – we’ve gone a bit more silent than our permission of freedom of speech through our constitution.
