Yesterday, Pakistan TV channels revealed a story about a madressah named "madressah Zakria" in Sohrab Goth Karachi, which is a notorious place usually to be avoided by public and now I think, police as well.
There were 68 people kept chained, tortured including 14 children, Their horror stories shook us all up in Pakistan, Mushroom madressahs with abusive practices is not totally new to us, but being in such in a big city where terrorism is being eradicated, and main focus, it is hard to believe that it was there for years? And it rings so many bells. But it seems, like as we were busy looking somewhere else and missed the obvious clues again.
NO investigation; As much as it was shocking and a matter of concern for humanity, it seemed like a huge opportunity to get to the root of the terrorism, as many of the captives said that they were being brainwashed to be Talibn, or Jihad, and it seemed they had so much to share and many stories to tell, but is there anybody listening?,
The more vocal captives kept mentioning their head as Mufti, leaving with “weapons and money”, and that he fled before the raid, is that not a matter of concern that he was able to escape?
Then releasing all 68 people, all of a sudden to their families in less than 24 hours? Was this a normal procedure to expect from police and law enforcing agency.... but it seems like these “poky nose TV reporters”, already made them wake up from their slumber of obliviousness, and “take notice”! , and they want to go back to their real job their “VIP” duty. If this was happened somewhere else in the world this was a big clue to investigate for months and even years. However in our Karachi, just showing a much made up Human rights minister was enough on States part. Pakistan have 24000 registered MADRESSAHS, however there were many violation in this one.
It was Unregistered
People were kept Chained
Bad nutrition
Bad living condition.
Torture, physical abuse
Forcing them to join jihad
Children were kept with adults in unsanitary conditions.
Nursery for terrorism?
Apparently Madressah organizers targeted poor people for their young or problem teens and offered to treat them in their Madressah , which was misleading, they were not curing or helping, instead abusing young to adult alike. Does it make it ok to abuse, torture, and chain humans in a school environment just because their family sent them there? were the hot housing innocents for terrorism? Or jihad? Why all 68 people were so physically and mentally unstable and shaken, if they needed some treatment? many of them were young men or older if they were ready to go back in to their communities? All these questions remain unanswered!
Apparently our government is only interested in treating the symptoms not the disease itself.
