Three women
of Khyber Agency-FATA have been arrested by Political Administration who are
still in its custody
Police in Peshawar arrested three
tribeswomen in Peshawar who belong to Khyber Agency-FATA and handed them over
to Political Administration of Khyber Agency-FATA who latter on further handed
them over to some one influencial person from Khyber Agency on Superdari like
vehicles by Pakistan courts. Women in questions belong to Malik Din Khel Tribe
of Afridi of Bara Sub Division-Khyber Agency whose male members are alleged to
have committed some unlawful act. The male members were absconder for few days
and Peshawar Police instead arrested women and handed them over to Political
Administration of Khyber Agency. Latter on male members are said to have been
arrested but still women are in custody of Political Administration. One of the
women is pregnant while other is lactating mother who feeds her newly born
child. Ironically mother and child have been separated forcefully. The child is
home while woman is in custody of Political Administration.
Asif Ali Zardari then Pakistan
President had amended FCR of 1901 in 2011 which states that children below 16
and women will not be arrested under FCR of 1901. Political Administration in
FATA does not abide by amendments and still women and children are arrested and
put behind bar which is violation of women and children rights in FATA.
Pakistan does not send its FATA human rights violation report in Universal
Periodic Review to United Nations.
Tribal NGOs Consortium, Child Rights Movement FATA and National
Action and Coordinating Group against Violence against Children (NACG)-FATA strongly condemn this heinous
crime against women and children and demand of government to punish responsible
officials and officers who committed this crime against women and children.
