Cynthia Ritchie claims she was raped by Rehman Malik & assaulted by Yusuf Raza Gillani

. .
She could have been more wise "why go to his house" "This is one of the most hated person in Pakistan"
Worse than nawaz and altaf

At that time she was new to the country and she might have not looked at these corrupt politicians through the same microscope that awaam does.
She also could not resist the importance she was receiving in the entire country.

IMO she does have the right information to expose PPP and thats why their is a panic in bilawal's house right now.

I stand with her all the way.

I would love to believe her as I despise Zardari and his minions but the question is if she got raped why the fcuk did she hang around in Pakistan? A western woman would go create a ruckus if this happened by bringing their government into it ~ in this case USA no less. Or failing to exact justice would leave Pakistan and never come back ever again. From afar condemn Pakistan etc.

Instead she stayed in Pakistan and continued making vlogs .......

something is fishy in her accusations .

M J Akbar, Chinmayanand, Kuldeep Sengar are some names on the top of mind. Heck, Sengar even killed the family of the girl and conducted multiple attacks on her too.
chinmayanand and kuldip are in jail . akbar was never accused of rape , he was accused for sexist behaviour by subordinate .

They have been exposed multiple times already but still nothing has happened at all.
People have stood up against nawaz and even altaf but forgot them "ppp" who are worse than anyone else.
The sad thing is even after everything there are still some people supporting them.

So is most of PPP tribe, but this is no justification to neutralize his crimes, which are far bigger than this one rape.
When US embassy denied support to Cinthia, even so now, than he must be somebody at international level.
While no one on pdf made a single post against him ever since current issue. No one spoken against him, even when it was discovered that he's distributing Pakistani passports, visa and NID to foreigners, including terrorists.

A friend from the US sent me the link. I have never liked Ayesha Siddiqa, hence I would not reproduce the article. But it is available at:

https://theprint.in/opinion/cynthia...-in-pakistan-as-imran-khan-would-like/438876/

Tell your friend it's beyond acquisitions, she has already served notice to morons. Case is going in courts.
Surprisingly Imran Khan hasn't taken any notice, probably he deliberately ignoring it.

Why wait so long to accuse Malik of this?
In Pakistan, democrats support democrats.
Imran Khan's sexual harassment was reported in time, did Nawaz Sharif ordered any inquiry? Unless Nawaz SHarif claims that he had pressure from queen of UK!

How do you suggest he gets taken down? I believe Cynthia might be the key in doing so

He can't be taken down... specially when US and Imran Khan are not in mood to support her.

If you look at history of Rehman Malik and PPP. They were in cahoots with US right immediately after release of Zardari from jail, but it was more clear from the appointment of Hussein Haqqani, who now openly claims that he looked after US interests, while being ambassador of Pakistan... hope you know of this confessional statement!
There is long history of Rehman Malik's service to US and this was one undeniable example.

I expect a reconciliation sooner than later.

Interior ministry says US blogger Cynthia D. Ritchie is living on ‘extended’ visa. — Twitter/File


ISLAMABAD: The Ministry of Interior has informed the Islamabad High Court (IHC) that US blogger Cynthia D. Ritchie is living in Pakistan on an ‘extended’ visa and she is working on film projects in collaboration with the military’s media affairs wing Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government.

The Ministry in its report submitted to the IHC on Friday stated that Ms Ritchie “informed in her application that she had been working with Walkabout Films in collaboration with ISPR and the KPK Government on various film projects in the country. She further stated that she was waiting for complete documents for the formal extension of her business visa for one year which may take a few more days therefore she requested for a temporary extension of 30 days in her visa.”

“She also attached a letter no. 01/IAAD/2018 dated 27.12.2018 from ISPR stating that Walkabout Films Private Limited is undertaking various projects in collaboration with ISPR and she is working with Walkabout Films on some projects,” the report said.

Interior ministry says US blogger is living on ‘extended’ visa

Additional Attorney General Tariq Mehmood Khokhar submitted that Ms Ritchie’s visa stood extended till August 31 and she had not committed any illegality or any undesirable or anti-state activity as alleged.

ARTICLE CONTINUES AFTER AD
The court adjourned the hearing till next week for final arguments on the petition of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) activist Chaudhry Iftikhar Ahmed, who had challenged her long stay in Pakistan after the expiry of her business visa in March and alleged involvement in a media campaign against leaders of the opposition party.

According to the petition, her business visa expired on March 2, 2020 and she was not entitled to stay in Pakistan afterwards. The business via had been granted on March 18, 2019 without fulfilling the legal formalities, the petitioner alleged, adding that she also misstated information in her visa extension application submitted to the Ministry of Interior after the expiry of her business visa in March.

The petitioner referred to various activities of the respondent and her media statements and social media posts, which according to him were derogatory and objectionable.

According to the Interior Ministry’s report, “Cynthia D. Ritchie denied all the allegations against her, she stated that her visa expired on March 2, 2020 and she submitted an application before the date of expiry. However, due to Covid-19 situation, no extensions were being processed and all foreigners were granted extension, therefore, she was still staying in Pakistan under a valid visa as extended by the Ministry of Interior.”

Regarding her visa, Ms Ritchie said it was not mandatory for every business visa holder to register a company in Pakistan rather business could be carried out in partnership with other companies. She said she was an active taxpayer in the US and also annexed copies of various documents issued by Internal Revenue Service of Department of the Treasury and others regarding her company in the US with the name of DIFFERENT LENS PRODUCTION LLC registered with California Secretary of State.

She said the police authorities in Islamabad had issued her an entry pass for her residence in Diplomatic Enclave after all necessary verifications as police were informed about her movements.

About her visits to the erstwhile Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata), the US blogger explained that interviewing tribal leaders and going anywhere in Pakistan was not a crime under any law of Pakistan as she always travelled with appropriate clearances from authorities concerned. She also clarified her statements in social media and denied that she had committed any crime of defamation against any political leadership, according to the Ministry of Interior.

The report further stated that her application for extension in visa was still under process. As per record the application for visa extension was received in March 2020, however due to Covid-19 situation and general extension in visa validity of foreign nationals it was processed in the concerned section on June 2.

“As far as the activities of Ritchie on social media as alleged in the complaint are concerned, this Ministry has not received any adverse report from any concerned organisation / agency so far,” the report said.

According to the Interior Ministry, the matter related to her social media post is already sub judice and being probed by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) under Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act, 2016. However, the ministry also claimed that it had not received any adverse report on the activities of the respondent on social media as being alleged by the petitioner and therefore no action by the ministry was required at this stage.

The report then added that the respondent was required to strictly comply with the laws of Pakistan while staying and doing business in Pakistan.

What she's alleged could be true and if it is it'll be hard to prove so I empathize with her in that case. But at the same time, this could easily also be politically motivated and the only explanation if she's isn't being truthful, especially since she's been tweeting, appearing in the media, giving statements and actively creating a lot of media interest.

If you look at the string of allegations against men like Harvey Weinstein, Trump and others, the women who were making the accusations were not going around creating a media storm as she is doing. It's a serious thing to be raped, to be giving political statements slandering specific parties and not just individuals is beyond suspicious.

Furthermore, her giving statements, making tweets at this point surely falls under contempt of court? If you're involved in a situation like this, and this or a counter case is brought to court (as it has, Rehman Malik himself made the case), then she is in contempt of court multiple times.
