Press Release
Communique to the Pakistani Embassy in Lebanon
(Translated)

A delegation from Hizb ut Tahrir in the Wilayah of Lebanon, headed by a Member of the Central Communications Committee, Engineer Salih Salam, and accompanied by a member of the committee Ustadh Bilal Zaidan, delivered a communique to the ambassador of the state of Pakistan.

The communique contained a demand for the ruling authority in Pakistan to immediately release the official spokesman of Hizb ut Tahrir in Pakistan, Engineer Naveed Butt, who was abducted on the 11th of May 2012 by the internal security apparatus in Pakistan.

And we say “Abduction” in the case where there have been no legal charges placed against him and because the method of arrest was in the style of highway robbery. This is in the knowledge that the High Court of Islamabad has requested the internal security apparatus on a number of occasions to disclose his destination by bringing him to the court. However, until this current day and after the passing of four years since his abduction, the security apparatus have refused to disclose his location.

Indeed, this style that the ruling authorities are relying upon within the Muslim lands, in respect to dealing with their subjects, indicates in a clear manner that these authorities are bankrupt and have lost all legitimacy. So just as people are arrested in Lebanon in accordance to “Documents of communication” without a court order, the same is the case in Pakistan, which is also an indication that the one who motions and directs in both of these lands is one and the same.
