Hani Gul Determined to Recover Her Fiancee, Naseem Baloch

By Archen Baloch compiled for Bygwaah

Hani Gul daughter of Mohammed Arif, a female medical student at Hamdard University Karachi was expelled from University because she was disappeared by intelligence agencies in Karachi. On 14th May 2019 her fiancé, Mr Mohammad Naseem was abducted by security forces of Pakistan army under the Korangi Bridge at 8.30 pm without any legal procedure.

Right after the passage of 6 hours at 2.30 am, the unbridled forces of Pakistan army illegally raided Hani Gul’s house and abducted her without any legal procedure or court order and producing an arrest warrant.

She informed International Voice for Baloch Missing Persons (IVBMP) that during the detention both were taken to an unknown place where they were kept in military torture cells and severely tortured for uncommitted sins accused of being associated with Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), a pro-freedom armed organisation striving for freedom of Balochistan.

Hani Gul said she was released after three months from her captivity but her fiancé is still detained at Karachi military torture cell incommunicado. She says she is not allowed to have access to her fiancée to date. She denied the secret agency’s allegation that they were involved in any action against the state. She said that neither she had any affiliation with any armed organisations no her fiancée. She said they were students of University in Karachi.

In her twitter campaign for the safe release of her fiancée, the Bride-to-Be, Hani Gul poignantly tweeted in twitter account @HaniBal24819517 in the Urdu language which translates in English as – “In our Balochi culture and custom, the bride will be sitting in the house waiting for her groom, but I’m the only girl waiting for my groom on the streets.”

The International Voice for Baloch Missing Persons, IVBMP, believes that Pakistan is anything but a responsible state because two of its vital state organs, the judiciary and the parliament, have been forced to be subservient to the whim of Corps Commanders at GHQ in Rawalpindi.

Now the illegal detention and the inhuman torture of Hani Gul and her fiancée by Pakistan army officers would directly implicate Lt Gen Humayun Aziz, as the Karachi Corps Commander for the violations of human rights of these two innocent students because nothing moves in Karachi without the consent and order of the said corps commander.

It must be noted that the mentioned General is a Punjabi ethnic, and Pakistan army is entirely dominated by Punjab and they’re extremely violent towards non-Punjabi people like Baloch, Pashtun and Sindhis under their colonial rule.

Hani Gul in a video recorded message said that she is being threatened to withdraw the FIR she had lodged against the abductors of her fiancée in Karachi. She informed Baloch masses that Pakistani state must be held accountable for any harm inflicted on her during her efforts for the safe recovery of her fiancée from illegal detention by Pakistan army’s Lt Gen Humayun Aziz, the Karachi Corps Commander.

The General, Hamyun Aziz, is nearing his retirement, after this fall he will be retired and seek a cosy quality life in a European country where he lives with his family after wreaking havoc in Pakistan and having ruined hundreds if not thousands of innocent young lives like that of Hani Gul and her fiancée, Naseem Baloch.

Hani is determined to recover her fiancée at any cost but will the western democracies continue to welcome Pakistani military criminals who have committed crimes against humanity while they were in power?
