Government Thugs Once Again Arrest Activist of Hizb ut-Tahrir from Multan Government can Not Stop the Activities of the Hizb ut-Tahrir or Prevent the Re-establishment of the Kilafah Through These Coward Tactics

At two am Monday in the dead of night, government thugs kidnapped member of Hizb ut-Tahrir Engineer Aftab from his home in front of his family. Aftab is a telecom engineer and father of two young daughters, whilst his father is a cancer patient. There is neither a case of burglary nor a terrorism case registered against him. His only crime is that he accepts Allah (swt) as the Legislator (Shaar'ah) as wells as recognizing Him (swt) as the Creator. His so-called ‘great sin' is that he is calling the people and the rulers towards the laws of Allah (swt), the Supreme. His ‘grave mistake' is that he is calling the Ummah and the people of power towards the system of the Islamic state, a system implemented by the Messenger of Allah (saw) and the Khulafa-e-Rashideen. The agents of the colonialists and their slaves turn a blind eye when the Blackwater (Xe services) and DynCorp terrorists butcher Muslims in the streets and bazaars, but when they want to torture people they immediately find the educated and Shari'ah bound youth of Hizb ut-Tahrir! Hizb ut-Tahrir has filed a writ petition in Multan Bench of the Lahore High Court against this illegal kidnapping of its member. We warn the traitor rulers that Hizb ut-Tahrir will not rest until the release of its member. And if the government did not release Engineer Aftab immediately, Hizb ut-Tahrir will mount a peaceful campaign for his release. Let the rulers know that such cowardly tactics can neither deter the shabaab of the Hizb ut-Tahrir and activists of the Kilafah nor stop the re-establishment of Kialfah, a glad tiding of the Prophet (saw).
