Press Release
Date… 21st November 2014
To… National/International & Social Media
From… Ehsanullah Ehsan (Spokesperson of TTPJA)
Subject… Shahadat of our brother
“Our brother Khanwada aka Abdul Rahman from TTP Jamaat-ul-Ahrar has been martyred yesterday in a fake police encounter at Karachi. Brother Abdul Rahman was arrested by Pakistan Army about eleven months ago. Brother Abdul Rahman belonged to Khowazai area of Mohmand Agency.
Pakistan Army has continued its previous evil tradition of executing the prisoners from their jails and we shall not remain silent over the extra- judicial killing of our companions, InshaAllah. We also have many soldiers in our prisons and Pakistan Army should not force us to treat those prisoners as we treated 23 FC personnel a few months ago.”
End
Enforced disappearances, torture in custody and extra-judicial killings are a form of “state terrorism” and only increase the security risk to the people of Pakistan due to retaliation attacks. This unethical, unlawful and irresponsible behaviour of state agencies is of grave concern to human rights organizations who call for such actions to cease.
