Justice for Versi Kolhi By Advocate Veerji Kolhi and Zemira Eli Natan

Versi Kolhi is still being held in custody on a false charge of Blasphemy.  Versi and others are being held without bail  because of Landlord attempts to stop Versi from participating as a candidate in the upcoming election.  This fact was explained to Advocate Veerji Kolhi at the the time Versi was taken into custody.  It took the police 22 days to submit a Charge Sheet (Chalan) to the court. This case is clear.  The charge is false  because the Landlords have a political agenda.  Versi is innocent of this charge.  Certainly Versi would not jeopardize his position knowing what the outcome of a charge of Blasphemy involves.  Even the police knew that he was taken into custody on a fake charge.  Everyone is aware of this fact and we will continue to share this incident widely and raise protest until Versi is released from police custody.  Truth is always a victory and we shall have this victory.  IUFE stands with Versi Kolhi and his family and demands that he is released immediately!  WE WILL TAKE EVERY ACTION TO RAISE PUBLIC AWARENESS INTERNATIONALLY TO STOP FALSE CHARGES OF BLASPHEMY FROM CONTINUING AGAINST MINORITIES.  Thank you Advocate Veerji Kolhi for your continued efforts regarding this case.  We look forward to seeing a positive outcome.

****IUFE UPDATE****


"On 17 March during the day of Holi Festival, Police Station Tando Gulam Ali arrested Versi Kolhi and others and charged them with a fake Blasphemy case. From the first day police knew very well that Versi is innocent and they did not submit a charge sheet(Chalan) to the court. From the first day Versi was confined in police custody and now he has been held in custody for 22 days. Today, police did submit a charge sheet (Chalan) to the court. Everybody knows very well that Versi is innocent and he is living 8 Km away from the place of incident....."
