"Where is Minister Minority Gian Chand Esrani?  Fourth Day has passed at Press Club Hyderabad!  The children of the victims, recovered farmers will die for want of food and shelter!  They are passing their lives with death threats!"

------Advocate Veerji Kolhi-----

We at IUFE have the following question for Minister Minority Gian Chand Esrani!  How quickly would you arrive to provide food , shelter and protection for these 72 victims who have been threatened with death on a daily basis if this were his own family members?  Is Mr. Esrani worthy of his position as Minister Minority? This issue will be forwarded to the International Community and Human Rights Organizations to show Mr. Esrani's negligence and lack of concern for Human Life!

" Landlord  Zubair Sehito's 72 Bonded peasants who were freed by order of the  High Court of Sindh stayed for a second night under the open sky in front of Hyderabad Press Club in spite of Higher Court's order. No  security  has been provided to the dislocated peasants and their  families....."

Police have still not responded to the demand of the 72 Bonded Laborers who were recently freed with the help of Advocate Veerji Kolhi.  This is the second night they have been exposed in the open sky with no security provided to protect them from harm!  It is quite ironic what one local newspaper  had to say about NGO's working to assist Bonded Laborers by bringing awareness  to Human Rights Organizations and the International Community.  The Article from the Pakistani Newspaper , The Pioneer is posted below:


In response to the claim made in this article by the Pakistani Publication The Pioneer. NGO means NON GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATION! That means they are NOT receiving any money for the work they do! This is the first point. The second point is that the efforts of specific NGO's make the world aware of these cruel and inhuman practices that prevent people from living a free life or have access to their animals or their  personal possessions! The NGO's do much for the protection of these people! The world is aware that Bonded Labor must be stopped! That is due to Advocate Veerji Kolhi;s work and the work of those NGO's who are aware of people still being held in bondage in Pakistan! Reporting news in your own country is not enough! What are YOU doing those staff at Pioneer other than just reporting news? Are you helping these people in any way? Or are you just reporting news?

I notice that this newspaper seems to want to spread false information about NGO's that actively assist these people by raising the voice for their cases!  We will never be silent despite these false reports!  The paper is exposing the plight of these victims yet they are diminishing their suffering by offering no hope , no assistance , and no action to bring these people protection and security from being out in the open sky! Most of these victims are women and children and it is unacceptable that they are exposed to such danger after just receiving their freedom after 10 years of torture, rape, lack of food and severely harsh labor under cruel landlords! Without the international awareness about Bonded Labor that is circulated by the NGO's  and the work of our own Advocate Veerji Kolhi  , these cases would never be heard about in any other country except Pakistan and the Muslim Landlords who have no remorse but to torture, rape, snatch personal possessions and livestock would never be brought to justice!  Just setting the record straight!  IUFE will continue to provide awareness about these victims of Bonded Labor and actively work by Advocate Veerji Kolhi's side to bring about the end of the cruel practice of Bonded Labor forever!

-----IUFE UPDATE----

Special Report on Threat to Advocate Veerji Kolhi has revealed the identity of the person who called him and threatened him by telephone with death if he continued to raise the voice for the causes of Hindus

Aazam Nohani we have your name and your telephone number and serious action will be taken as a result of this threat made against Advocate Veerji Kolhi!  He has the right by LAW to defend his people from injustice!

"Two Days ago 72 Bonded Laborers were freed from bondage by order of the High court of Sindh. The freed persons have been engaged in protest because they have not received their personal possessions and their animals which were also ordered by the High Court to be returned to them. Currently there is no response from the police to carry out the orders of the High Court. The people are left whithout protection during their protest due to these circumstnces. On Monday I will file documents for contempt of courts for lack of response to the order of the High Court to return the personal possessions and the animals to the 72 freed persons.-"

After 72 people were freed by order of the High Court of Sindh  the police have not responded to the protests of these people whose personal possessions and livestock were confiscated by the Landlord!  As can be seen on the court order the people are free to live in freedom along with their personal possessions and their livestock! Advocate Veerji Kolhi will file a petition for Contempt of court for lack of police repsonse to carry out a direct order given by a Judge of the High Court of Sindh.   It is our hope that the people will receive their personal possessions and animals after 10 years of slavery under duress of torture and rape of women , starvation and severely harsh labor!  IUFE supports this protest led by Advocate Veerji Kolhi and will continue to support it until justice is served for these people and their personal possessions and animals are returned to them!  Thank you again Advocate Veerji Kolhi for your continued efforts to protect the rights of Bonded Laborers and all those oppressed under these conditions.

Advocate Veerji Kolhi received a death threat after he was successful in the High Court of Sindh with regard to a case of 72 Bonded Laborers who were recently set free.  This is the largest number of Bonded Laborers freed in one case!  IUFE congratulates Advocate Veerji Kolhi for winning a case that would seem impossible to have success with so great a number of people under the hardship of slavery.  In Facebook posts by two friends who are close to Advocate Veerji Kolhi  the death threat appeared as follows with friends giving support to Advocate Veerji Kolhi:

"We condemned the death threats to Veerji Kohli given by this number. 00923008240346. 
According to veer ji from above number some one called him and said, " We will kill you if you raise voice for Hindus " !! 

IUFE Thanks  Advocate Veerji Kolhi's friends for supporting him in his struggle to be a voice of his people and their only Advocate in whom they completely trust to handle their cases.

When I looked on Advocate Veerji Kolhi's wall I noticed a comment by Hassan Shabbir Rana that was the following statement:

"I also got a call from 00913338240346 and got threats from Kohli ji. does not prove anything."


Here is my question Hassan! What are you trying to prove by making this statement?  Could it be that you are the person who threatened  Advocate Veerji Kolhi in a recent telephone Call?  You can be assured that we will find out!  Your statement in itself is self  incriminating!

IUFE will make this threat public!  Medias will be notified and International Human Rights Organizations will have this on the record!  Advocate Veerji Kolhi is a voice for his people by LAW!  He has every right to speak for Hindus as they are his people!  His friends at IUFE his personal friends  and his family will stand behind him  in all his efforts!  We will never accept any death threats and will act aggressively to combat them!  All International Human Rights Organizations will be notified!
