Hector Aleem has been disappeared!

It is to inform you all that Hector Aleem has been disappeared suddenly from Jail. We can’t find him anywhere. When our lawyer sent legal papers in jail to get them signed by Hector Aleem then the Jail authorities told that Hector Aleem is NOT in jail and some agencies took him somewhere. We are trying for three days to confirm that where is daddy but no one is able to tell us anything. Our lawyer has searched him in each and every Police Station of Rawalpindi/Islamabad but we couldn’t find him anywhere. Three days have passed now and we still don’t have any clue about daddy. We don’t know if he is being tortured somewhere or being kidnapped. Even Jail authorities can’t tell where he is now. They just say, “Some agencies took him”. But they don’t tell us that where he is and who took him? Please pray for him and tell your friends and family to pray for daddy. If you got your blogs then please publish it in your blogs, and if your friends got any kind of blog then please tell them to publish this news. This is not fair that daddy is not even safe inside the jail, and we don’t know where he is now.

RE: Hector Aleem’s False Blasphemy Allegation Charges

I write to you in order to raise your attention to the case of the imprisoned Peace Worldwide human activist Hector Aleem.

The high-ranking human rights activist from Karachi committed himself to working on human rights through Peace Worldwide. Peace Worldwide is a non governmental organisation registered with the government of Pakistan, which was established by Hector Aleem, the Chairman, in 1996. Peace Worldwide has special consultative status with The Economic and Social Council of United Nations. The NGO was working on human rights without any discrimination for religious beliefs; it was also working on Blasphemy Law and has highlighted and solved some of those cases. There were also many schools that were running under Peace Worldwide, but these schools were closed in 2004 due to the pressure from the Maulvies (Muslim extremist group in Pakistan), as they accused Hector Aleem of teaching Christian doctrine to the Muslim children, the threat letter is attached. Following this incident, he moved with his family to Islamabad for fear of being threatened or harmed.

Hector Aleem was awarded a Peace Award by Mr. Yousaf Raza Gillani, the Prime Minister of Pakistan. He was also invited by Mr. Asif Ali Zardari, the President of Pakistan and many other important politicians of Pakistan because of his great work in human rights, which only speaks of his great commitment to helping people and his noble character. All invitations and pictures are attached.

Hector was arrested at midnight on the 21st of January 2009. A large number of policemen raided his house, and beat him and his family (his wife Kauser Parveen Aleem, and four children, Mehwish, Misbah, David John and Simon Yaqoob). He is now in Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi, and his case is registered in R.A. Bazaar Police Office in Rawalpindi. According to the FIR (First Information Report) an unknown person sent a blasphemous SMS to the leader of a Sunni Tehreek. The SIM card was not registered so they searched for the culprit. When they saw the list of the persons the culprit contacted, they found that the only Christian was Hector. No other person whom the culprit called (90 people) was interrogated or arrested. Hector maintains that he did not send the blasphemous message, he was arrested because he was the only Christian in the list.

The family is currently hiding in a house somewhere in Islamabad, for fear of being harmed or even killed. I am in touch with Hector’s daughter Mehwish, and she has been informing me of the current situation. Hector is still in jail, due to be released soon according to his attorney. The family is looking to leave the country and move to Canada as asylum seekers due to religious persecution as soon as Hector is released. Their attorney advised them to leave the country as soon as possible as the Muslim extremists will probably seek to kill Hector if he is released. Canada seemed as the best option, as it is known for its tolerance for people who are in a similar situation as the Aleems.

I appeal to you, to use your influence and to immediately review the case of Hector Aleem and his family. Please find attached a petition signed by several individuals who testify of the validity of Hector’s false blasphemy allegation case and are in support of this appeal. Other documents are enclosed as proof of the validity of his case.

Yours faithfully,

We the undersigned petition the High Commissioner of Canada to Pakistan to allow Hector Aleem, his wife Kauser Parveen Aleem, and his children Mehwish Aleem, Misbah Aleem, Simon Yaqoob Aleem and David John Aleem to transfer to Canada as asylum seekers due to religious persecution.
