| 2002-12-20 |
| AJK Jamaat-ud-Dawa Amir Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi has flayed the death sentence handed down to three Kashmiris by an Indian court in connection with the last year's dubious attack on the Indian Parliament in New Delhi. The special court judge, S.N. Dhingra, handed down death sentences with a fine of Rs25,000 ($500) each to Mohammed Afzal, a 35-year-old fruit merchant; Shaukat Hussain, a former student of Delhi University, and S.A.R. Geelani, a New Delhi college teacher. Afshan Guru, the Sikh wife of one of the accused, was sentenced to a five-year rigorous imprisonment with the fine for not disclosing information to police. The three men were also given life terms which they will serve if they win their appeal against the sentences. Describing the punishment under the black laws as highly condemnable, Maulana Alvi called for declaring India a terrorist country. So we have a country whose parliament itself is attacked by crazed killers, and it should be declared a terrorist state for sentencing the perps to the high jump? The Jamaat-ud-Dawa, which is headed by Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, is believed to be the parent organization of Lashkar-i-Taiba, which India blames for a number of Oooh! He's vowing dire revenge! How Islamic! Maulana Alvi recalled the hanging of Maqbool Butt, a top Kashmiri guerrilla leader, in New Delhi's Tihar Jail in Feb 1984 and said India had assumed at that time as well that with his death the freedom struggle in Kashmir would die down. "But, time has proved that India's assumption was wrong," he said, pointing out that the movements for freedom get a new boost with the blood of martyrs. He sure was dead when they got through with him, though... Maulana Alvi called upon the international human rights organizations to take immediate notice of the "unlawful punishments and play their role in saving the lives of the oppressed and innocent Muslims." "All they did was bump off a few Hindoos and such. What's the damage?" |

| #1 "the flame of freedom movement" ??? I thought you were talking about submission, or rather slavery to Allah and Sharia. Please make up your mind. |
