Mr Ihtisham Mulagoris should be released immediately

Mr Ihtisham a 16 years old boy has been detained by Political Administration of Khyber Agency FATA in Pakistan for the last 3 months over a monetary dispute between two parties. The child is innocent and has no role in this business. His mother is ill and her health is going to be deteriorated with each passing day. We sent several requests to political Administration and all concerned quarters to release the child but no progress has been made yet since last three months. All those like us working for the release of the child also face problems from the Administration and the affected family is threatened with dire consequences if publicized and further share information with media and Human Rights Organizations and Human Rights Defenders. Frontier Crimes Regulations of 1901 have been reformed recently in 2011. Now child under the age of 16 and aged persons above 65 could not be arrested under territorial responsibility clause of FCR.
