Press Release from Hizb ut Tahrir / Indonesia
Immediate Release of Naveed Butt from Abduction

Last May a number of Pakistani Secret Agency personnel kidnapped Naveed Butt, the Official Spokesperson of Hizb ut Tahrir in Pakistan, in front of his young children who were on their way home from school. They dragged Naveed Butt by force and left his children in the road helpless.

Now, more than seven months elapsed since Naveed Butt was kidnapped by the security agencies, but the barbarian rulers of Pakistan didn't bring him to court even his whereabouts remain unknown till now. Accordingly, Hizb ut Tahrir Indonesia stands in front of the Pakistani Embassy to declare its position:

1. HTI condemns the arrest of Naveed Butt and considers it a mean and illegal act. Naveed's absence from his home resulted in the sadness of his wife, children, and family. Naveed Butt is not criminal. He is a man who spent his life working for the re-establishment of Khilafah "Caliphate", the system of Allah (swt) and Muhammad (saw). Hence, Naveed Butt must be released without any condition quickly.

2. HTI calls for the Pakistani Armed Forces to show their loyalty to Allah, His Messenger and to Muslims and work for Islam and to uphold ‘Izzul Islam wal Muslimeen, not to the Disbelievers or to the agents of the Kuffar. Do not rely on the West because it would lead you to humiliation. Now it is time to render help (Nusrah) to Hizb ut Tahrir for establishing the Khilafah "Caliphate", which will apply Shariah and stop the traitors and punish them.

Please remember as Allah (swt) says:

[وَلاَ تَحْسَبَنَّ اللّهَ غَافِلاً عَمَّا يَعْمَلُ الظَّالِمُونَ إِنَّمَا يُؤَخِّرُهُمْ لِيَوْمٍ تَشْخَصُ فِيهِ الأَبْصَارُ]

"Consider not that Allah is unaware of that which the zallimun (polytheists, wrong-doer, etc.) do, but He gives them respite up to a day when the eyes will stare in horror" [Ibrahim:42]
