I know all too well That Hopelessness is a Sin, but the state of Pakistan does not justify any hope after all that has happened past week.
First My Uncle got arrested in the most criminal way. He was in the Corps commander protest. He was identified by the police through a Video posted on social media in which he is clearly protecting a Sipahi.
He was hiding at his in-laws out of city, The police stayed outside his house for about 48 hours after which they apparently gave up. Little did we know, they were planning something else. They abducted my father as he was returning from work at around 11 PM. We were all sleeping by 12. My Mum woke around 2AM and told us that Father hadn't come home. I put his Email on my phone and tried Google find my phone. it showed a location on The motorway. around fajr we got the news of what had happened and my uncle got arrested. My father came home and told us how they didn't even let him pray fajr and grabbed his arm just as he was about to say takbeer(the police stopped somewhere on the way around fajr time). They took all the cash he had in the wallet(around 15k)
As we understand My Uncle is being beaten everyday non stop at some police station.
My Brother who lives in London told me about his roommate.
His roommate who has a British passport, was visiting his family in Pakistan. He made some tweets against the army while he was staying here. He got abducted (without any warrant) and was beaten for a whole day at a police station. Apparently they knew he was a British National and told him they were gonna beat him untill the British embassy intervened. They would beat him(naked) with a rod 2 or 3 times and then would make him lie on an ice block so the marks would disappear and then repeat.
If this is happening to British Nationals on a mere tweet, God knows what they are doing to "Dehshat Gards"
Should we leave this country? or stay.
I had the opportunity to leave after A levels, but decided that Pakistan was far too much to give up, even for 4 years. I'm regretting now.
