COMPARE
PAKISTAN
with MALAWI!
Aware Africans Demonstrate against Handover of
Muslims to the
U.S.
On June 27, hundreds of Muslims demonstrated
in Blantyre, the capital of
Malawi, a small country in Africa.
The facts are as follows:
Malawi's government arrested five Muslims,
two
Turks,
a Kenyan, a Saudi
and a
Sudanese
and claimed that they were part of
Osama bin Laden's network.
Quickly a case was filed by the Muslim community
in the high court. The court
issued an order: Either charge the five or
release them on bail.
Instead of listening to the rule of law, the
ruler of Malawi, another
mercenary like Musharraf, handed over the five to
the FBI who immediately whisked
them out of the country.
During the demonstration, the Muslims also
ransacked the offices of the
local puppet "Islamic association" for not
working diligently on behalf of the
five. The demonstrators were tear gassed by the
police before they dispersed.
[By comparison, in PAKISTAN, general
Musharraf hands over Muslim
refugees to the FBI without ANY PROCESS OF LAW at
all. Pakistanis have no idea what
is going on till it is too late. Musharraf also
has a sharp "Information"
minister who issues disinformation to confuse the
people. In the most recent arrest
of an
Egyptian
in Peshawar, the Musharraf regime
claimed that it had no
knowledge (!) that any such person had been
arrested, although the arrest and
handing over had been confirmed by the U.S. ]
[Musharref is either much too slick for the
Pakistani opposition, or the
opposition is too easy going and led by
comfortable middle class types.]
