<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The news broadcasts flash there was a bomb blast in Nigeria in Kano , Nigeria. I woke up the next morning to find photogrphs sent to me by Mr. Arandong Ngocheck of the victims in their horrific detail. The message to the world cannot be more clear! We can no longer allow innocent men, women and children to be massacred in this manner! IUFE demands that each person who reads this report to make contact with the Christian communities of Nigeria and make every effort to ensure their safety, their shelter, food which is a serious and great need in this region, and medical provisions as access to food centers are met with pursuit and attack by Fulani/Hausa Islamic Jihadi with Boko Haram. The distance to hospitals from these communities is too far for them to travel with serious injuries.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">32 people were ruthlessly murdered as a result of this bomb blast carried out by Boko Haram .</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The group that is usually harassing the Christian communities know as Fulani/Hausa Islamic Jihadi has carried out several attacks as reported by Mr. Arandong Ngocheck in a matter of days. He has risked his own safety to provide this information which you will never see broadcasted in the world news medias. Below are photographs of the victims as can be clearly seen in graphic detail! This is what terrorism becomes in a country that is inhabited by interlopers who have no regard for human life! This is what happens when we are separated from the world around us and taught to hate just because the group of people that are being attacked are not one of our own people! I am not willing to stand by and watch as my neighbor bleeds! I am not willing to be complacent against enemies such as this who would think nothing to remove me and my friends and loved ones from the face of the earth! The world ignores my Nation Israel! Will the world continue to ignore as attacks such as this are occurring worldwide? Most people I speak to do not even know where Nigeria is other than "someplace in Africa". These maps should give you a general idea of location! The video and photographs included in this report should introduce you to the people of Nigeria! The victims are personal friends! Friends I would not hesitate to protect and who would do more than the same for me if I were ever in this kind of danger. The photos are graphic. Sensitive people should view with discretion but definitely should make an effort to enter into this world of daily harassment, discrimination, brutal attacks and crimes against humanity in which these Nigerian citizens like those in Israel my Nation, India , and Pakistan are currently facing! The world turns a blind eye to these atrocities and we know the problem! Now it is time to create the solution to these and all such terrorist activity! We need to be proactive in stopping terrorism from occurring all over the world. We are not doing a good job in this effort by simply sharing the news! It is the duty of all human beings to be proactive in preserving life! Please make contacts with Human Rights groups and Christian organizations working to provide sustenance and medical care in other countries. IUFE DEMANDS THAT THE PERPETRATORS OF THESE HEINOUS CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY BE PUT TO JUSTICE TO THE FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW! </span></b><br />

During the attacks on this villages, TEN - PEOPLE lost their lives on those faithful days. Our guide to SAKKASS and GURAHBWAKK is MR. JERRY {JEREMIAH} GYANG who lost his elder brother MR. JOSHUA GYANG and his son MR. EZEKIEL JOSHUA GYANG who were among those murdered by the evil fulani /hausa islamic-jihadist terrorist. The late MR. JOSHUA GYANG, left behind him five children and their names are as follows : - MR ISA'AC JOSHUA GYANG, MR. DAGWOM JOSHUA GYANG, MISS YOP JOSHUA GYANG, MISS NA'OMI JOSHUA GYANG, MISS ROSE JOSHUA GYANG and their mother MRS. ESTHER JOSHUA GYANG. Before the demised of late MR. JOSHUA GYANG, all his children we schooling. But after his death, only one is now schooling. And the one schooling is MR. DAGWOM JOSHUA GYANG. And also they were scores of injuries of which our guide, MR. JERRY {JEREMIAH} GYANG was among the victims of the attacks by the evil fulani /hausa islamic-jihadist terrorist. As you can have a look at the picture, you can see on his head a of bullets and his right EYE has been damaged during the incident. MR. JERRY {JEREMIAH} GYANG is now having permanent marks because of the activities of the fulani /hausa islamic-jihadist terrorist who are bend on trying to islamised and have a shariah law at all cost on the good "CHRISTIAN'S" of the MIDDLE - BELT region of NIGERIA especially PLATEAU STATE. The "CHRISTIAN'S" on the MIDDLE - BELT region of NIGERIA, if urgent steps are not put in place by the WORLD - "CHRISTIAN" leaders around the globe, I mean one day the WORLD will wake up and found out that there are no more "CHRISTIAN'S" to found within the MIDDLE - BELT region of NIGERIA if our "CHRISTIAN" leaders continue to behaved as it is currently happening. Because if measures are not put in place right now, I hardly see the "CHRISTIAN'S" of the MIDDLE - BELT region of NIGERIA surviving in this region for the next decade or so. Because it will come to a time that you either take the devil's sword of evil islam or you will be crushed to death. As I write to you "ZEMIRA ELI NATAN". I am not exempted from the evil hands of this idiots and cowards of this fulani /hausa islamic-jihadist terrorist. "ZEMIRA ELI NATAN", the activities of this fulani /hausa islamic-jihadist terrorist it is on a daily basis over the good "CHRISTIAN'S" of the MIDDLE - BELT region of NIGERIA. On the same day of of 1 NOVEMBER, 2015. I and my WONDERFUL - GREAT friend and indeed a brother to me MR. "SAMM TEE MANGUT" left SAKKASS and GURAHBWAKK village's for onwards journey that took us to KADUNU village of LANGAI district of PYEM - CHIEFDOM in MANGU Local Government Area of PLATEAU STATE NIGERIA. Of which twenty one person's were confirmed dead. Our amiable guide to KADUNU village is one MR. JACOB M LANGA who was an indigene of KADUNU before the crisis. KADUNU village is estimated to have a population of about four thousand five hundred and fifty seven inhabitants. And out of the above population, "CHRISTIAN'S" have a good sizeable number of over one thousand population in KADUNU village. What is so astonishing and so scary is that, as at time of filling in this report on the 1 NOVEMBER, 2015, there is no "CHRISTIAN" that is currently living in KADUNU village. All the "CHRISTIAN" houses in KADUNU village are burned down as you can see for yourself some images of the burned houses in KADUNU village. The attack on the KADUNU village took place on the 15 SEPTEMBER, 2015 in the evening of that faithful day. The "CHRISTIAN'S" only visit their home land KADUNU village in the morning hours of 08 : 30 am and will have to go back immediately before 05 : 30 pm local time in NIGERIA. In other to avoid any casualty that may occur on their way back to their safety areas. Now, the "CHRISTIAN'S" - WORLD leaders are so silent about it. If something is not urgently done now to curtail the evil act by this funded islamic-jihadist terrorist by the islamic occultism society, one day it will definitely rear it's head in the USA, EUROPE, ASIA and already the MIDDLE - EAST region is more complex for the "CHRISTIAN'S" to live.

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Of all the festivals of India the light of Diwali illuminates as the lights of the Chanukiya on the Jewish festival of lights known as Chanukah. But the essence of Diwali captures my heart and continues to flow in Divine light from my soul. The festival falls usually in the months of October or November. This year its last days will be celebrated during my own birthday. I could not hope for a more happier occasion and experience.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The Diwali festival is celebrated across India, but in the
southern part of the country, it is more commonly known by its original
Sanskrit name Deepavali. Northern and Southern India celebrate this festival at
different times, since they follow different calendars. It typically occurs in
October or November on "Amavasya," or the new moon when the sky is
dark.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12.0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">In northern India, Diwali coincides with the last day of
the Vikram calendar, making it similar to the American celebration of New
Year's Eve. In the south, the festival commemorates the day when the god
Krishna helped conquer the Assam King Asura Naraka, who had imprisoned or
enslaved tens of thousands of people.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">During Diwali, Hindus worship and offer thanks to the
goddess, who is a symbol of goodness and prosperity. In the Hindu culture,
darkness is linked to ignorance, and light is associated with prosperity, so
Diwali celebrates the victory of prosperity over ignorance. The festival lasts
for five days, with the third day being most prominent.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12.0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Diwali is important in the Hindu religion because it
celebrates the victory of good over evil and light over darkness.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 12.0pt;">

renovate and decorate their homes and offices.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>On Diwali night, Hindus dress up in
new clothes or their best outfit, light up<span class="apple-converted-space">

India; people buy new clothes for themselves and their families, as well as
gifts, appliances, kitchen utensils, even expensive items such as cars and gold
jewelry People also buy gifts for family members and friends which
typically include sweets, dry fruits, and seasonal specialties depending on
regional harvest and customs. It is also the period when children hear ancient
stories, legends, myths about battles between good and evil or light and
darkness from their parents and elders. Girls and women go shopping and create
rangoli and other creative patterns on floors, near doors and walkways. Youth
and adults alike help with lighting and preparing for <i>patakhe</i> (fireworks)
There is significant variation in regional practices and rituals. Depending on
the region, prayers are offered before one or more deities, with most common
being Lakshmi – the goddess of wealth and prosperity. On Diwali night,
fireworks light up the neighborhood skies. Later, family members and invited

12 years of Vanvas and one year of agyatavas in the other ancient
Hindu epicMahabharata. Many other Hindus believe Diwali is linked to the
celebration of Lakshmi the goddess of spiritual wealth and prosperity, and
wife of the god Vishnu. The five day festival of Diwali begins on the day
Lakshmi was born from the churning of cosmic ocean of milk by the gods and
the demons; the night of Diwali is the day Lakshmi chose Vishnu as her husband
and then married him. Along with Lakshmi, devotees make offerings to Ganesha
who symbolizes ethical beginnings and fearless remover of obstacles; Saraswati who
symbolizes music, literature and learning; and Kubera who symbolizes
book keeping, treasury and wealth management. Other Hindus believe that Diwali
is the day Vishnu came back to Lakshmi and their abode in the Vaikuntha.

therefore are blessed with mental, physical and material well-being during the

is a five-day festival in many regions of India, with Diwali night centering on
the new moon – the darkest night – at the end of the Hindu lunar month of
Ashvin and the start of the month of Kartika. In the Common Era
calendar, Diwali typically falls towards the end of October, or first half of
November each year. The darkest night of autumn lit with diyas, candles and
lanterns, makes the festival of lights particularly memorable. Diwali is
also a festival of sounds and sights with fireworks and rangoli designs;
the festival is a major celebration of flavors with feasts and numerous mithai
(sweets, desserts), as well as a festival of emotions where Diwali
ritually brings family and friends together every year. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

between siblings. It is a day when women and girls get together, perform a puja
with prayers for the well being of their brothers, then return to a ritual of
food-sharing, gift-giving and conversations. In historic times, this was a day
in autumn when brothers would travel to meet their sisters, or bring over their
sister’s family to their village homes to celebrate their sister-brother bond
with the bounty of seasonal harvests.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

The MIDDLE - BELT region of NIGERIA is so attractive because of it's soil fertility that has made it so difficult for we the ethnic minorities to survive in our "GOD'S" given home land of the MIDDLE - BELT. Because the Islamic world is so interesting to see that we are totally ANNIHILATED from this region that is called the MIDDLE - BELT... Because of our FAITH and BELIEVE in the ALMIGHTY "GOD" of ISRAEL who is the AUTHOR and the FINISHER of our FAITH. If something is not URGENTLY and HURRIEDLY done, we as the PEOPLE of the MIDDLE - BELT region will soon go into extinction like some animals. But I really and TRULY believe that the ALMIGHTY - LIVING "GOD" of ISRAEL will surely visit us as HE"GOD" visited the ISRAELITES during their hard times in EGYPT. The Fulani/Hausa Islamic - jihadist and their deadly activities is to make sure that they established their so called sharia law within the so called northern region of NIGERIA and later extend it to the whole country NIGERIA. And that is their game plan ALWAYS. "ZEMIRA", below are some images tha</span>t <span style="font-size: small;">were pictured on the 7 JULY 2015 in the early hours of between 09 : 00am and 10 : 30 am...In a small community of "SHO" in BARAKIN-LADI Local Government Area of PLATEAU STATE NIGERIA. The first shot that you are seeing right now of Late MR. DANBIYOK TOJE who then was a principal of a Government own secondary school in "SHO" before he was ambushed and murdered by the fulani/hausa islamic-jihadist terrorist on the same day with the rest as you can see their dead bodies littered all over the place. "ZEMIRA", this act of terrorism by the fulani/hausa islamic-jihadist must be stop by the security agencies, stakeholders, the NIGERIAN - GOVERNMENT and of course the the INTERNATIONAL - COMMUNITY too must URGENTLY and HURRIEDLY step into this with the view to bring it to an END... Thank you so "ZEMIRA" my AMIABLE - PARTNER and a TRUE - COMPANION on this JOURNEY of FREEDOM from the Islamic world of DARKNESS and to the WORLD of LIBERTY and of the LIGHT of the ALMIGHTY G-D - HASHEM" of ISRAEL.."</span></b></span></div>

<b><b><span style="font-size: small;">These are only a few victims of the terrorist organization known as Boko Haram. The specific terror group in these incidents are known as Fulani/Hausa Islamic Jihadist terrorist organization. These innocent men , women and children were targeted killings by this terror group for the purpose of a campaign of land acquisition in the Plateau Region of Nigeria known as the Middle Belt in the community of Sho of the Local Government Area of Plateau State Nigeria. People first imagine the very worst. They imagine that these people must have committed a terrible crime and that they deserved this brutal fate. The truth is far different in this case. This case along with many others in Nigeria is a blatant act of ethnic cleansing. Muslims of the region of Nigeria do not want any other people who believe in anything different than Islam to exist. It does not matter to the Muslims of this region that this Chrstian community has a very long history of settlement in the Plateau region of Nigeria. They are the indigenous people of that land who are victims of terror on a daily basis. As you can see in these photographs the people have been targeted severely and are losing more and more numbers each day. IUFE demands justice be brought to these victims to have these terrorist perpetrators stopped from their brutal activities that rob the world of peace and freedom. Fear should never have to govern a nation nor should a nation be ruled by it.</span></b></b><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For the first time in the history of Nagarparkar a murder of the the most heinous kind has taken place. The murder took place in Wadari Village, Nagarparkar where three victims were murdered in cold blood. An elderly couple and their son were resting in their sleeping cots when they were brutally murdered in the middle of the night as they and other villagers were sleeping. No one in the village was able to tell Advocate Veerji Kolhi who the perpetrator of this murder was. There was great fear to reveal any details. Advocate Veerji Kolhi returned to the village many times to assist investigators and question the villages to glean any information on the killers. The problem with this investigation is that after a cast was taken of the perpetrators footprints no one seemed to be able to identify the killers. Twenty six suspects were arrested in this case and all twenty six of them went free. Advocate Veerji Kolhi did not stop here. When a team of forensic special investigators brought a dog team to locate the killer, the dogs returned to the same hut twice. The police refused to bring the suspects living there into custody. The perpetrator was among the 26 suspects released from police custody. The very dangerous issue in this case is that the court closed the investigation. I advised Advocate Veerji Kolhi to ask the court to reopen the investigation. According to the Final Report document issued by the Superintendent of Police Tharparkar for the cancellation of FIR dated 4/20/2015 so ordered by the Nagarparkar Judicial Magistrate, the police are still responsible to continue their efforts to the best of their ability to locate and arrest the perpetrator of this horrific crime despite the fact that the investigation was closed. Advocate Veerji Kolhi fully intends to ensure the cooperation of the police in this matter. Two of the victims of this horrible crime were senior citizens age 75 Male and Female age 65. The son was just a teenager about 14- 16 years of age. This was extremely painful for the indigenous people of this land because they have never lived in fear that something like this could ever happen. Despite abductions, they felt that murder could never be an issue. Increasing violent crimes are happening in Sindh which was once a place of relative peace for all people. Now it has become a place where innocent people are regularly targeted just because they have different religious beliefs. For the safety of the victims and their families Advocate Veerji Kolhi has not released the names of the victims. The people are very concerned that since the perpetrator is still at large, there might be a chance that a repeat crime could occur. IUFE demands that the perpetrator be brought to justice immediately with penalty of the full extent of the law. Such a crime is punishible by death and this is what these villagers rightfully are demanding! Their protest is strong and should be heard by all human rights organizations, the presiding court and law enforcement agencies in Sindh to render proper justice to the indigenous people of the land . Thank you Advocate Veerji Kolhi for your briefing on this case and standing with you to continue to demand justice for the villagers in Wadari Village, Nagarparkar.</span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">What can we say this case is all about? Clearly it is an effort by those wishing to threaten any resistance to control of those politicians who want to keep their stronghold in this region. Advocate Veerji Kolhi was requested to surrender his political and social intervention which is the sole protection of the people living in these villages. We cannot allow 10,000 years of indigenous people's legacy to be destroyed under this kind of pressure. Advocate Veerji Kolhi cannot leave his people vulnerable to being forced from their indigenous homeland by Zandibars and Politicians</span></b></div>

<strong><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Our discussion did not conclude here. I was able to share my experience in Kokrajhur Assam and explained how there is no police or government intervention to address the influx of Muslims entering into India and grabbing land from Hindus whenever and wherever it suits them. Advocate Rabindra Ghosh gives the following explanation as to events currently occurring and others that are ongoing problems:</span></strong><br />

Police is very much negligent on this matter.</span></span></strong></span><br />

You know that since 2001 to 2015 we are being harassed by the law enforcing agencies, lawyers, law makers, MP and other perpetrators in different times, Despite all we did not leave our country Bangladesh, as we love Bangladesh well</span>."</span></span></strong></span><br />

<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><strong><span style="background-color: #f6f7f8; color: black; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">As you can see these issues have been occurring in Bangladesh for fourteen years and nothing has changed. Issues such as these are also occurring in India. Bangladeshi Muslims are entering the country to escape justice and avoid further trouble in Bangladesh while, at the same time, causing havoc in India. The response of Law Enforcement is deplorable! The medias refuse to broadcast the news for fear of escalating political issues and government censorship which is now occurring in the region on a wide scale.</span></strong></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><strong><span style="background-color: #f6f7f8; font-family: Georgia;">At this time and for all occurring incidents our Advocates and their staff, international delegations and Minority leaders are asking for TANGIBLE assistance for these victims. There are thousands of families devastated by these crimes against humanity. The correct action to take is first to bring these incidents to the public and bring awareness to the International Community, second to bring these issues to the attention to the medias and continue to contact them to encourage proper and honest media coverage of these incidents, third to contact international human rights organizations and follow up with causes to bring tangible assistance to the victims and their families. Writing correspondence to government officials as a group with numerous signatures can help pressure the government and the law enforcement agencies who refuse to enforce laws that protect minorities against these crimes against humanity. These crimes violate numerous articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of the United Nations. I have posted my report of my visit to two of five refugee camps whose victims claim are being attacked on! one side by Baptist Christian Missionaries who are armed and Muslims from Bangladesh on the other side. These people cannot be ethnically cleansed! The International Community cannot stand for it! Action is the key and IUFE demands action on the part of all who take the time to read this. Action can include sharing, contacting, and exposing. Everyone can do their part to help. Please take decisive action for the sake of humanity.</span></strong></span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">FACT S IN BRIEF :</span></b><br />

<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After getting senses Bikash went to Patharghata police station and described the ordeal and lodged F.I.R. at Patharghata police station being case No.18 dated 15.03.15 under section 7/30 of Women and Children Repression Act,2003 against three perpetrators and 3 to 4 unknown others.</span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">ACTION TAKEN BY BDMW:<br />As per appeal filed by father and mother of victim I on behalf of BDMW communicated with Md.Saiful Islam-Superintendent of Police -Barguna District and Md.Shah Newaz- Officer in Charge of Patharghata police station for legal assistance and accordingly our representative from Barisal was requested to investigate the matter and for immediate reuse of the Vitim- Kona Rani . But it is unfortunate that the police was found very much negligent to apprehend the criminals to justice and f</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">or recovery of the victim since after 13 days of her kidnapping.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">3) Prevention of China supported leftist (Maoist) extremism</span><br style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;" /><span style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">We would like to bring your knowledge the alarming and pathetic situation prevailing in the North Eastern state of Assam and around. Please find attached our team’s field visit report on the above.</span><br style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;" /><span style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">The following are our observations and our recommended remedial actions sought from you to act on to fix the situation in the border state of Assam preventing further deterioration of the situation.</span><br style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;" /><span style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">1) Assam’s Muslim population has grown from 2% to an alarming 26% in 20 years. The primary and the only reason for this is the illegal Muslim immigrants from Bangladesh. This is hampering the son of the soil’s lively hood and is happening at the cost of Hinduism and its cultural values. The immigrants by force seize the fundamental rights of the local Hindu inhabitants.</span></span></b><span style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2) These infiltrators</span></b><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>influence and bribe the soldiers of Indian army stationed at the banks of river Brahmaputra to enter the sub-continent. The Bangladeshi </b></span></span><span style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Government and its army are supporting the infiltrators and are encouraging them through all possible means like supplying necessary tools, ammunitions to infiltrate and navigate into the country.</span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><span style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">3) The local political parties and certain national parties are directly and indirectly allowing the illegal immigration as they have vested interest in the happening for minority vote bank.</span><br style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;" /><span style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">4) The local Muslim organisations motivate and support the infiltrators helping them to navigate and settle in the Assam and nearby places.</span></b><span style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><b>5) The Assam Bodo militant organization are funded by Christian missionaries motivating them to maintain the unrest and promote the militancy in the region. These missionaries </b></span></span><span style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>are adopting divisive politics with an intension to create unrest and establish chaos and promote their ideology in the minds of the people.</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><span style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">6) Assam being a border state with China, china has vested interest in the region and hence supports the BODO and ULFA militants to promote leftist extremism in the region to maintain the unrest.</span><br style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;" /><span style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">The following are our recommendations to handle the situation strategically and to prevent the situation from further deterioration in all fronts:</span><br style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;" /><span style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">1) The border security to be strengthened and the fencing to be completed and must be under constant watch. The Government must train the people living in the border areas being native Hindu Assamese to defend themselves and if necessary provide necessary weapons for self-defense. They should provide tools and communication equipment to the border people to communicate immediately to the security forces regarding any intrusion in our area.</span></b></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><span style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">2) As BJP is gaining positive mandate among the public in the Assam region it should be capitalized. Taking cognizance</span></b></span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"> </span><span style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #666666;"> </span>of the current situation BJP should consider imposing Article similar to Article 370 to Assam giving it an independent status similar to that of Kashmir to uplift and protect the Hindus in Assam.</span></b></span><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">3) Similar to the ban prevailing in the state of Arunachal Pradesh on religious conversions, it is appropriate to impose a similar ban in Assam.</span><br style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;" /><span style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">4) Assam is rich in Hindu Culture and they are decedents from the Ekalaiva clan from the ancient epic age. The Government should consider the renovation and restoration of the Hindu ancient temples, scriptures and associated historic places promoting tourism thereby preserving the places of historic interest and helping to prevent the destruction of the Hindu religion and upholding its values. Ramayan, Mahabharatha, Shakthi Pedam and Kamkya temples are of historic significance in Assam which needs to be preserved and promoted for the next generation.</span></span></b><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">5) The basic and fundamental facilities of lively hood like, food, education, medical facilities, etc are to be immediately arranged to the families living in the rehabilitation camps in the places mentioned</span><span style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"> </span></span></b><span style="color: #666666; font-family: helvetica, arial, 'lucida grande', sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"> </span><span style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">in the attached report.</span></b></span><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">6) Necessary arrangements and facilities to be provided to the families to earn their lively hood through agriculture there by helping them to carry out nature farming and allied vocations in the region.</span><br style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;" /><span style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">7) The natural resources and the oil and gas exploration sources are to be well protected and necessary steps are to be initiated to ensure that these do not fall under the control of the militants, Chinese or Bangladeshi militants.</span><br style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;" /><span style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">8) The Islamic madrasa schools and the schools run by Christian missionaries are to be banned and more Government schools to be started to supplement the need. Necessary steps to be taken to promote education in mother tongue and local language. </span></span></b><span style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We are confident that you will understand the situation with better insight and will immediately order for an appropriate remedial action in Assam.

It was observed that 643 families are living in the rehabilitation camp for the 25 years were facing hardships and were undergoing a painful livelihood.</span><br style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;" /><span style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">During 1991, there were clash between two native communities of Assam being Boro – kochari and Koch Rajbangsi. A result of the clash the Koch Rajbangshi community left their respective villages and sought refuge in the relief camps.</span><br style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;" /><span style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">It appears that the government has neither shown any support nor made necessary arrangements for their rehabilitation. On a temporary basis they were half plot of land to stay. There is no education for the children for the past 25 years, livelihood is at stake and no efforts appears to have been made by the government for the recovery or restoration of their lost properties. The leaders convinced them that the issue could be handled in a legal manner through state and central governments so as to provide proper rehabilitation to the affected communities.</span><br style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;" /><span style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">On 2nd March 2015 : Visit to Bathou mandir, Hirimbapuri, Shantipur</span><br style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;" /><span style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">On 2nd March 2015, the team visited Bathou mandir, Hirimbapuri, </span></span></b><span style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Shantipur under the jurisdiction of Ch</span></b><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">irang district.

The ashram is headed by the Hindu guru who had been a pastor of Christian church for 25 years prior to his return to Hinduism.</span><br style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;" /><span style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">As phase two the team continued its visit to Deosri in the evening. It was noted that there were nearly 6000 Adivasi Santhal people who live in relief camp without proper health facilities, proper sanitary facilities and inadequate food supplies from the Government. The hygiene and health levels are alarming and poses a threat of contagious diseases being spread.</span><br style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;" /><span style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">The families feel very apprehensive and uncared at the relief camp. At that relief camp they feel sorry for the Government and its lack of attention towards them. To our dismay it was noted that as per Government records there existed no relief camp whereas in reality there are 6000 families struggling to manage their livelihood.</span><br style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;" /><span style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">3rd March 2015 : Visit to Jaipur, Malegaon and Pakhiriguri Santhal relief camp</span><br style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;" /><span style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">On 3rd March 2015, the team visited Jaipur, Malegaon and Pakhiriguri Santhal relief camp. At Pakhiriuguri 5 persons were killed by extremist group National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB). NDBF is sponsored by Christian community of </span><span style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"> the world. During December 2014, NDFB attacked on the villages inhabited by the Adivasi people (Santhal) where lots of people were killed and others were missing and most of them are from the relief camp. Both the State Government as well as BTAD Government does not recognise and even denied the existence of the relief camps as a result of which the inhabitants are helpless and are living in miserable condition. They are deprived of proper housing, sanitation, water, security, food etc. The communities are affected by various diseases like polio, gangrene, malaria, etc, for which no proper treatment has been provided. Health care, vaccination and other medical facilities are totally ignored and made unavailable to these inhabitants. There are 6000 families struggling to manage their livelihood.</span><br style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;" /><span style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">regards</span><br style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;" /><span style="line-height: 16px; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">Imk DevaGovindaraju</span></span></b><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Very good news today Advocate Veerji Kolhi has just informed IUFE that the High Court of Sindh has changed its ruling. Anjali will remain in a shelter home where a medical board will determine her age as old enough to marry. </b></span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">IUFE has just been notified by Advocate Veerji Kolhi of a Shocking ruling issued by the High Court of Sindh in Pakistan. In case that pursuant to the Code of Law in Effect that all Child Marriages or knowledge of or intent to engage in them are forbidden by Law. It must be made very clear that this offence is punishable by law for 1-3 years or a fine or both depending on the extremity of the circumstances deemed by the court. The documents below clearly describe the punishments for intent and also for committing the act knowing that a child is of minor age. The question is how does the court find it acceptable to free a minor child in a ruling in one case , such as in the case of the release of Mavi Kolhi, also of minor age and make a different ruling involving the case of Anjali Kolhi when the same laws are in effect. The documents below that Advocate Veerji Kolhi has provided to IUFE clearly show that the court itself committed a Judicial crime! How do we come to that conclusion is a question that will be asked in this situation. The answer can be found in the ambiguity of Article 7, sub-section 3 which states, " The court may on its own notion or an application of any person rescind or alter any order made under sub-section 1 of Article 7. What this article is saying is that the court can effectively change an order and would not be obligated to enforce the laws that are in place according to Code of Law. In other words, There are stipulations present that allow an injustice to go unheard and the law to remain only on the books but not enforced! Article 6 of the Code of Law in Pakistan states that, " Notwithstanding anything contained in section 190 of the Code, no court other than the Judicial Magistrate of First Class shall take cognizance of or try any offence under this Act! This is making it seemingly impossible for any Religious Minority in Sindh, Pakistan to receive justice even in a court of law! However, Article twelve of the Code of Law clearly stat</span></b>es, <b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If any difficulty arises in giving effect that is not inconsistent with any of the provisions of this act, Government may make such order, as may appear to be necessary for the purpose of removing the difficulty." THIS CODE IS AMBIGUOUS AS IT FAVORS THE PERPETRATORS OF CRIMES IN DIRECT VIOLATION OF THE CHILD MARRIAGES RESTRAINT ACT 2013. Advocate Veerji Kolhi notes that:</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">" According to Article 8- Offence to Punishable and Triable</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Not Withstanding anything conmtained in the code, an offence punishable under this Act shall be cognizable, nonbailable and non compoundable. "</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> Numerous Human Rights violations are being violated by violating these laws on the books in courts, even in the High Courts and not enforcing the laws set in place. The High Court of Sindh must recognize this and understand clearly that this issue is not acceptable to the Religious Minorities of Sindh or the International Community at large! This issue will be made public and shared with International Human Rights Commissions , Civil Liberties Alliances and Human Rights organizations in order to render proper Justice for Religious Minorities that face this kind of persecution, oppression, and violations to their spiritual and physical well being. IUFE demands justice for these crimes . Anjali Meghwar must be freed and returned to her family safe and unharmed! There is no Justice in this ruling of the High Court of Sindh and it shall be made public!</span></b><br />

<b>Bu</b><b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">ddhists of the world tell us not to harm, my own religion teaches not to murder premeditatively. What happens when an enemy faces us who will not spare us , speak with us, or do anything proactive in the interest of peace. What is the response when a young monk makes a contact to warn of a serious threat that is confronting his community and there is only silence? No words can describe the emotions experienced by a community in danger from repeated assaults in the form of destruction of Holy Shrines and Deities to the actual murder of peaceful monks engaged in prayer. People will say this happens everywhere, all over the world. The question remains, how can it be further tolerated? What action can people do to protect vulnerable communities faced with a daily threat? In Bangladesh, Buddhists lived in peace with others. They have made polite requests not to build mosques too close to Buddhist Temples. The Muslims respond that Bangladesh is their country. The reality is that the Muslims came to Bangladesh as interlopers and terrorized any and all people who dared to resist them. The monks that are shown here are currently in grave danger. They remain in contact with those who will share their concern for safety and security, but their lives are under threat each and every day. Contact with anyone outside Bangladesh is an extremely dangerous endeavor for them. They do not hesitate even despite the growing caution to reach out so that their voice can be heard by the International Community. We must carry their message of non violence to the world. We must be the voice that joins many voices to raise concerns over the constant human rights violations that are committed against them by Muslim aggressors. It must be made clear to Muslims that this earth is shared by people of different faiths. Islam does not and will never own the world! There are those who will fight very aggressively to ensure that this dream that Muslims have to rule the entire world under one flag of Islam will never come to pass. The International Community cannot allow it! We as human beings should continue to refuse to dehumanize and destroy all that we know within the peaceful world that was given to all humanity as a gift to nurture and preserve. It will be shared with the international community, human rights organizations and civil liberties alliances all acts which violate the safety and security of these mon</b><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">ks in Bangladesh. IUFE demands that they are protected from any harm and their shrines and deities are not disturbed. We will not accept any non compliance to this demand!</span></b><br />

Minorities in Bangladesh are suffering increased abductions and forced conversions particularly of Hindus in Bangladesh. This form of ethnic cleansing is occurring globally where Hindus reside in Muslim Countries and also in regions heavily populated by Muslims. Advocate Rabindra Ghosh has made an appeal to spread the awareness regarding this very dangerous situation that is causing Hindus to suffer needless humiliation, destruction of their communities and a threat to their very lives! No one should ever be forced to convert to any religion that is not his own! Complaints must be registered and shared with the International community for immediate action to end these atrocities at once! Hindus have endured too much over the centuries as well as my own Jewish people. This kind of destruction cannot be restored! Action is required to ensure the safety of those vulnerable to such violation of the very spirit of humanity! Advocate Rabindra Ghosh needs every support for his very important work to protect Hindus in increasingly dangerous situations! The people will no longer tolerate ethnic cleansing, destruction of Holy Shrines, Forced marriages and Forced conversions to Islam! Every case will be shared with International Civil Liberties Alliances, and International Human Rights Organization, Journalists and Activists who will fight to stop this from ever happening again! Jews and Hindus share a common history of Ethnic cleansing! It is long overdue that these crimes against humanity stop! IUFE DEMANDS JUSTICE FOR THE VICTIMS OF ABDUCTIONS, FORCED MARRIAGES AND FORCED CONVERSIONS TO ISLAM! The International Community is put on Notice! Spread the word and help stop crimes against humanity from reoccurring! Bring tangible assistance to communities that have been routinely destroyed by Muslims who refuse to live with others in Peace! May this be a course of action for all who are victims of racism, religious intolerance, incitement to violence and attacks on religious minorities! Thank you to all advocates, activists, educators and journalists who willingly go to battle for the sake of Humanity!</span></b></span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Les Juifs de France ont été fiers de leur nation historiquement et dans le présent. Les juifs sont restés en France malgré l'antisémitisme. Ils ont été loyaux citoyens en France et ont obéi aux lois du pays. Ils gardent leurs coutumes dans leurs maisons et ne jamais forcer leurs croyances sur ne importe quel autre citoyen de la France. David Ben Gourion fait le point qui résonne avec chaque Israélien. Tous les Juifs se ils veulent être juif tout doit aller en Israël. La vie en Israël ne est pas facile, mais la vie est meilleure pour ceux qui sont religieux et pour ceux qui ont un fort sens de la nation. Israël est une nation indépendante de toute nation hôte. Les Juifs sont devenus citoyens français devant les Arabes ont fait en Algérie, au Maroc et d'autres pays. Ce est très certainement une source d'agitation, même pour les Arabes vivant dans ces pays et en France aujourd'hui. Les Arabes se demandent ce que ce est sur les Juifs qui ont fait les Français leur donner d'abord la citoyenneté? Se pourrait-il qu'ils étaient fidèles à leurs compatriotes et loyal à la nation de la France? Se pourrait-il que les Juifs jamais forcé leur volonté à d'autres comme le font souvent les Arabes? Les communautés juives en France ont subi une attaque du terrorisme en France. Beaucoup sont dans la crainte de rester en France tandis que d'autres refusent de quitter leurs maisons. Les Juifs ont une histoire en France bien avant l'arrivée des nazis à Vichy. Cette histoire était une des communautés juives florissantes. Maintenant, quand les Juifs viennent en France, ils sont accueillis</span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Il a eu une présence juive en France depuis au moins le Moyen Âge au début. France était autrefois un centre d'études juives, mais la persécution a augmenté le Moyen Age portaient sur, y compris plusieurs expulsions et retours. La France a été le premier pays en Europe à émanciper sa population juive pendant la Révolution française, mais, en dépit de l'antisémitisme de l'égalité juridique reste un problème, comme illustré dans l'affaire Dreyfus de la fin du 19ème siècle. Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, plus d'un cinquième de la population juive ont été déportés et assassinés dans les camps de la mort. [7] La France a la plus grande population juive en Europe et la troisième plus grande population juive dans le monde (après Israël et les Etats-Unis). La communauté juive en France est estimée à partir d'une population de base de 480,000-500,000 [1] [2] [3] [4] pour une population élargie de 600 000. [5] [6] La communauté juive française se trouve principalement dans la métropole les zones de Paris, Marseille, Strasbourg, Lyon et Toulouse. [citation nécessaire]</span></b><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Aujourd'hui, les Juifs français sont pour la plupart séfarade et Mizrahi qui venait d'Afrique du Nord et la région méditerranéenne et couvrent un large éventail d'affiliations religieuses, des communautés ultra-orthodoxe haredi à la grande partie de Juifs qui sont entièrement laïque.</span></b><br />

</tbody></table>
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Many of our friends within our coalition are very familiar with Kamran Simon Saif, a Pakistani Christian who has been detained at Rotterdam in the Netherlands for not carrying proper identification with him while crossing the border. After he spent many months detained in the company of potentially dangerous detainees in Rotterdam, his case remained unheard at the IND. His advocate submitted more than enough evidence to the IND as pertaining to his true identity. They detained him for months even after submitting that proof! He is now being transported from Rotterdam to Amsterdam! This is a two hour journey from the home of Esther Kramer his beloved friend and companion. She works tirelessly to visit him regularly to ensure that he is in good health during his detention and to be his hope and his strength. Her daily work in publicizing his detention and also her sacrifice to save him from the humiliation and danger of being deported back to Pakistan, a land where killing a religious minority is done without remorse , especially a Christian is beyond what many who have the ability to are doing to keep him free from detention and deportation. His case is not a difficult one. It has been proven time and again. Yet, the IND is still not satisfied! An effort was made to submit papers to members of the European Court to demand that Kamran Simon Saif be set free. The advocate handling his case refused to return calls and refused to release his file so that a proper defense could be prepared for Kamran. The lack of response from church leaders is shocking</span></b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> </span><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">that this young man is not so much a concern that they could actually allow him to be deported back to a land where his entire family has a fatwa against them. Where is the logic , the sanity , the justice and the reason behind releasing Muslims who destroy, rape, and insist on violating the rights of people in Europe while demanding their own rights? IUFE was shocked to learn that Simon was being moved so quickly and also that his access b</span>y<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> phone is being denied to him! The Link below is the location that Kamran Simon Saif is being detained:</span></b><br />

<b><br /></b>
<b> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> They are transporting him as this article is being written. I ask the International community to make contacts with leaders who can press the IND to release Kamran into the care of Esther Kramer who is his life companion and trusted helper. To allow him to be deported back to Pakistan would mean the end of his life for certain! This case will be shared with Civil Liberties Alliances and Human Rights Organizations to demand</span></b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> </span><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Kamran Simon Saif's immediate release! This detention is not unlike what occurred in the Holocaust where detention was common for those the Nazis termed as criminals! To see that something like this is currently acceptable by the IND is shocking! Especially since that history was told to everyone as "NEVER AGAIN" . It cannot happen ever again! This gifted, talented young author whose poems and music that many of us cherish, is not a candidate for detention! It cannot be accepted that such a person is detained while Muslims who actively commit serious crimes in the Netherlands walk free! Never can we accept it! Nor shall we accept it! The demand is very clear! Release Kamran Simon Saif! Grant him asylum in Netherlands! He must have access to the outside world by phone and by Internet! It cannot be accepted that he is cut off from his community who love him and cherish his friendship.</span></b><br />

<b>" All Human Beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.": is perhaps the most resonant and beautiful words of any international agreement. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights promises to all the economic, social political, cultural and civil rights that underpin a life free of want and fear.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>These Human Rights are not country specific. They are not a reward for good behavior, or particular to a certain area or social group. These are the inalienable entitlements of all people, at all times everywhere, 365 Days a Year.</b></div>

<b>They are the rights of people of every color, from every race and ethnic group; whether or not they have disabilities; citizens or migrants; no matter their sex, their class, their caste , their creed, their age or sexual orientation..."</b></div>

<b>Certainly every civilized human being stands for these principles. As a Jew and as an Israeli American I cannot say that this holds true for my people. I am a member of an indigenous People whose land is frequently up for negotiation with a group of non indigenous people who seek to destroy mine. I believe in every tenant and principle that these statements hold, but I am very concerned that they are not put into practice on many levels. I see another member of an indigenous people, Advocate Veerji Kolhi whose work speaks for itself in the struggle to uphold these principles. I see his Holy Hindu Shrines destroyed. I see the women of his people being raped, forced into marriages before they are of proper marriageable age, and forced to convert to a religion that is not their own. I see my Nation of Israel being denied the rights that are guaranteed to them under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights but Most of all by the G-d's own Promise to my people. I see discrimination running rampant upon Jews and upon Hindus in India and in Pakistan, and I am not seeing the Justice and tangible assistance occurring to rebuild these shrines, restore these devastated communities, or the returning of dignity to those whose basic rights are being denied. I will never stop standing for these principles and will never stop my work to join in these efforts to bring about change in this world. I will stand forever with Advocate Veerji Kolhi and other True Activists like him to make these issues become known to the international community. I am not ashamed nor am I ever afraid. I love my Nation Israel and above all, I love my G-d. Truth is power over deception. I wait for the promises to become a reality! When I see the change and the restoration of the basic Human rights mentioned in these statements, I will know for certain that our work is not in vain.</b></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Today I spent most of my day being bullied by the editor of Hindu Existence. His accusations stated that IUFE is a false organization. First of all, IUFE is not a registered organization yet. It is however and International coalition comprised of members from all over the world including India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Europe and the USA. IUFE's contacts are advocates and professionals working on the ground to solve problems such as Love Jihad, Forced Conversion to Islam, Destruction of Religious Shrines, Places of Worship and Deities, and Medical Camps for areas afflicted by drought or flood. WE HAVE COLLECTED NO DONATIONS FOR THIS WORK, ALL OF THIS WORK IS DONE WITH FUNDS FROM THE OWN POCKETS OF OUR PROFESSIONALS. At one time Mr. Achintya Das, who Mr. Upananda Brahmachari possibly works with or perhaps may even be another fake profile of Achintya Das whose other alias at the time of this coalition's formation was Visal Rana, worked online as an Administrative Director working from his laptop from his home. There was never an agreement to pay Mr. Achintya Das a salary for any work done for this coalition. This coalition and its members who are advocates, activists, and humanitarians working for this cause is volunteer based only. Mr. Das however wanted to earn a profit. He proceeded to continually make decisions that were not authorized and it was never agreed that he make any executive decisions for this coalition, hack my email accounts and the account to IUFE blog along with his girlfriend Karishma Randeria. He had me send him money to do work for this coalition which was never done. He claimed not to received this money and then bragged to a friend that he took the money because he felt he should have been paid a salary, and also received a camera from Advocate Veerji Kolhi! Since Mr. Das could not accept this situation he proceeded to photo shop my photos taken without my expressed permission, claim that I was in a relationship with him and slander my name to contacts of which Mr. Upananda Brahmachari , Editor of Hindu Existence is one of them and again quite possibly a colleague or fake profile and spread false details of the personal life of Advocate Veerji Kolhi and myself on the internet and private message. Mr. Upananda Brahamchari wasted much of my time after repeated requests that he stop his behavior immediately. Yet Mr. Upananda Brahmachari shared with me details of Mr. Achintya Das allegations and accusations against me! Mr, Achintya Das opened an Unauthorized chapter of IUFE in India which is no longer in existence to collect money for his personal agendas. You can see that effort in the link below where I announce the illegal activity of Achintya Das and his girlfriend Karishma Randeria. I, Zemira Eli Natan endured being called a phycho, a nymphomaniac and a fraud that exploits Hindus for profit while living an extravagant lifestyle by Upananda Brahmachari, Editor of Hindu Existence. I am posting this as clarification to my members and my friends who actively work with me on these issues! I am being falsely accused! I am a legitimate person working on peace building efforts between Israel and India and I am an admin for LIKE FOR ISRAEL INDIA on FACEBOOK . I have no ulterior motives to exploit anyone! However, I have been harassed and falsely accused! I do NOT share my photos without my expressed permission and if they are on Facebook they are not to be taken without my permission! Mr. Das has falsely identified himself as an executive director which he is not and www.iufe.org is no longer in existence! This is a false link! Any chapter of IUFE in India is a fraudulent organization and I am requesting that NO money be sent to this false organization in India. IUFE is based in the USA and I am its only Executive Director! Thank you to all my readers and all my colleagues for your tireless efforts and your continued membership which by the way is FREE! </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I hope this brings clarification to my members and colleagues as to why I am very shocked that anyone could behave this unprofessionally when there are people who need our work! People whose communities have been devastated! This coalition is NOT a forum to marry a girlfriend, buy her a house and a car, and slander the good name and reputation of legitimate people working for causes that help humanity and bring peaceful coexistence within an international community! The link below reveals my post in 2013 as to the reason I disassociated with Achintya Sundar Das aka Visal Rana .</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The correct and authorized link to this coalition:s blog is:</span></b><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The correct and legitimate name of this coalition is INTERNATIONAL UNITY FOR FREEDOM AND EQUALITY</span></b><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It a shocking experience for a community to come to their place of worship only to see it torched to the ground. Advocate Veerji Kolhi spent more than a week in Tharparkar to help the Hindu Community who are afflicted by drought in the area. To his dismay he arrived in the Tando Muhammad Khan District of Sindh near Hyderabad only to find a Holy Shrine torched and vandalized. In my conversation with Advocate Veerji Kolhi he explained to me that this shrine is ancient and historical to the Hindus of this region. The people wanted to leave their homes as a result. Advocate Veerji Kolhi spoke to Hindu leaders and assured them that despite these attempts to force the owners of this land away that they will remain on the land of their Mother. The community is devastated after this experience. There are few options available. Advocate Veerji Kolhi is not unlike my own people Israel who refuse to relinquish their ancestral home. " It gives them what they want if the people will leave their homes, and I will not allow this.", says Advocate Veerji Kolhi. Many friends are supporting his position on this issue. Others are very concerned for his safety and the safety of all Hindu communities effected by this and many other crimes against humanity. My concern is that this kind of destruction and devastation is accompanied by abduction of Hindu girls who are forced into marriages with older men and forced to convert to Islam. I am also concerned that these people whose lives are centered on the worship of their Holy places and the peaceful community which they unselfishly share with everyone are continually harassed and without mercy or concern for their welfare by their government, are ignored and left to constantly live in fear, lack of resources and without hope of recovering from this devastation. Our advocates are their only representatives and those in the International community including their own who raise the voice for Humanity and the protection of their rights. IUFE demands the protection of these indigenous people and that their rights to practice their religion freely, live without harassment and abduction, and full citizenship and participation within their society be upheld. IUFE further demands punishment to the full extent of the law for any desecration of Holy Shrines or Vandalizing Hindu Deities. IUFE demands the full protection of our Advocates working on these cases and protecting the health and safety of these communities. The International Community must also join us in this demand. These are serious violations of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and require immediate attention by the Government of Sindh and Pakistan and all Civil Liberties Alliances and Human Rights organizations!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The current condition of the families of these victims is devasting. After a brief conversation of Advocate Veerji Kolhi I have been advised that he will be returning to the High Court to address the forced conversion and abduction of these minor girls. Protests and public media coverage will be arranged to return these girls to their parents unharmed and that their marriages be cancelled due to falsification of birth certificates to establish marriageable age. There is no justification for the abduction of these girls. International Civil Rights Alliances and Human Rights Agencies will be notified! This case will be made public to the attention of the International Community as Crimes Against Humanity and a violation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights! Change comes with individual effort! Civil Society must demand the enforcement of laws protecting Religious Minorities living in Muslim countries. The international community can no longer tolerate the abduction, forced conversion and marriages of Non Muslim girls! Their birth certificates are on the record that clearly determine their ages! The evidence is present and the abductors should face punishment to the full extent of the law!</span></div>

On October 21, 2014 at 11pm , three armed men entered the city and pillaged. They held 12 year old girl, Kajal daughter of Mohan Bheel hostage and threatened the family. They threatened to kill the girl if the family reacted. They added to this threat by saying that they would leave the girl with the robed ones. Bheel's family reported the robbery and the kidnapping to the police. There was no police response, and the police were not cooperative while taking the report from the family. Three days later the police received a Nikha Nama by post. They claimed that the girl had converted to Islam. Still police are silent about this missing girl and they have taken no action.<br>
--Advocate Veerji Kolhi--</p>
<p dir="ltr">THIS IS ONE OF MANY EXAMPLES OF WHAT OCCURS IN PAKISTAN FOR THE PURPOSE OF FORCED CONVERSION TO ISLAM. THESE YOUNG GIRLS AND THEIR FAMILIES ARE RENDERED HELPLESS BECAUSE THEY RECEIVE NO PROTECTION FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES OR THEIR GOVERNMENT BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT CONSIDERED CITIZENS OF THEIR OWN COUNTRY. IUFE DEMANDS THE IMMEDIATE RELEASE OF THIS YOUNG GIRL AND THAT SHE BE RETURNED SAFELY TO HER FAMILY.</p>

There are numbers of banners and posters all over in Pakistan regarding this matter. According to these banners it does not show that only Ahmadi's are in danger in Pakistan.This law applies to all minorities. Christians ,Hindus and all non-Muslims are the targeted prey of this extremism. It is known worldwide that the Netherlands is a free country with equal rights.Though in one survey I found IND(Immigratie-en Naturalisatiedienst) only considers Ahmadi as a victim of this black law instead of Christians and other minorities. Though this law applies in the same way. Whosoever is the victim of blasphemy cannot live or survive a single day in Pakistan in freedom. There are numerous Christians in Netherlands with whom I spoke.They explained to me that since they left Pakistan the situation became worse for their family and friends. Some names are given below of those who have been treated badly by IND,and Court. KamranSimonSaif,ManghtMasih,Kashif,<br>
PastorSunny,Tariq,andShehzada These are some names which discriminate in asylum procedure in the Netherlands.Their stories show their life is in danger in Pakistan even though many churches,organizations even in some cases, Government of Pakistan also sent some documents but IND and court still declines their cases. Worldwide evaluation submitted a rank list in those countries where Christians are in danger and in 2014 Pakistanis on number 8 though in 2013 Pakistan was on number14. It can clearly be seen how rapidly in one year how much the threat in Pakistan to Christians and other religious minorities has increased. Please visit this link:</p>
