----Advocate Veerji Kolhi----
Two Hindu Temples have now been destroyed in Pakistan! Advocate Veerji Kolhi immediately took action to working with other Advocates and Civil Society members to raise complaint for this unforgivable crime against humanity. Several Hindu Villages are under threat of continued attack by Muslim Extremists. There are no words to describe how heinous this crime is against the Hindu communities living in Pakistan. All Hindus should unite in grief for the destruction of this historic and ancient Temple to Kali Maata. All minorites should unite to make all efforts to demand the end to unlawful persecution of this caliber. The incident raises the concern that all non Muslims are at serious risk at the whim of extremists who refuse to be tolerant toward others. False charges of Blasphemy are commonplace and victims are often put to death without fair trial in a court of law. Versi Kolhi, Ashok and Neshwar Meghwar are still in custody under the false charges made against them for Blasphemy! IUFE demands that they be released immediately! An International coalition is in full support of Advocate Veerji Kolhi and all those making efforts to bring justice to this horribly insensitive act! What right does anyone have to infringe on the beliefs of others? What right does a new culture have to infringe on the rights of a culture that is thousands of years old! The Hindus of this region have a 5,000 year old legacy that has been violently attacked by destruction of Holy shrines , abduction and accusation of innocent human beings! The violations against the Hindu Communities of this region are numerous and the only response is , "We condemn this act and perpetrators must be brought to justice!" It is NOT ENOUGH to condemn the act! It should not have taken place at all! It brings no solace to condemn a despicable act once it is already committed! Advocate Veerji Kolhi has provided an English Version of the FIR filed on this incident! IUFE requests the international community to take notice and action to force the Government of Pakistan to bring the perpetrators to justice!

They were acting like they had come the temple for the purpose of worship but suddenly all three men destroyed the statue of HANU MAAN JI and put it on fire by throwing petrol. As all the three men were armed and took their weapons (pistols and guns ) out. When we tried to catch them they ran away saying that they would fire bullets if anybody would come to follow them. They escaped toward the fateh chowk in the silver colored Toyota corolla car having no number plate. Afterwards we approached the nearby police station and registered the FIR that Three unknown armed men abused our temple and destroyed the statue of HANO MAAN JI and afterwards put it on fire by throwing petro. I can recognize/identify all the three men if taken in front of me...."
