In the early hours of the morning, at around 1 a.m.,Pak police conducted a raid on the home of Fateh Mohammad Kakar, the PTM coordinator in Killa Saifullah. Kakar was arrested during this raid, an action that has been widely condemned as unjust and unconstitutional.
This incident is part of a broader pattern of oppression against the Pashtun community. Just days earlier, on May 4, the family of Wali Salam, a Pashtun man from North Waziristan, received his lifeless body. Salam had been forcibly disappeared three years ago and reportedly endured severe torture at the hands of the Pakistan Army. He ultimately succumbed to his injuries in an internment center.
Salam’s tragic death is not an isolated case. Numerous Pashtuns have reportedly faced similar fates, suffering abduction, torture, and other human rights abuses.
The Army is not only harboring terrorists in the region but also engaging in the abduction, torture, and rape of innocent Pashtuns. These actions are aimed at maintaining control over the region, perpetuating the deprivation of the Pashtun people, and exploiting their resources for monetary gain.
