Today once again, Islamabad High Court deferred the hearing of the case of three abducted members of Hizb ut-Tahrir from Islamabad for a further seven days. Deputy to the Spokesman of Hizb ut-Tahrir  in Pakistan, Imran Yousafzai, and members of Hizb ut-Tahrir , Hayan Khan and Usama Haneef, have been under unlawful detention of government agencies for several days. Today, Additional Attorney General adopted the stance in court that he has been unable to get the compliance of the court notice from the ISI and MI and therefore the court should serve the notice itself! It is a characteristic of this Kufr system that anyone seeking speedy justice only gets postponement of dates. This only encourages the oppressor to oppress and the oppressed to learn to bear oppression, rather than seeking justice. We condemn these delay tactics and demand from the judiciary that if they could secure the release of a paid killer like Raymond Davis from government custody and send him out of the country, then why can it not set free Muslim citizens from the shackles of the tyrant government agencies. Even though it has been established clearly how much these rulers and their system are supports for the Western colonialists, whilst making the lives of the Muslims a living hell.

In addition, the government became nervous after seeing the public anger in Raheem Yar Khan against the abduction of Dr. Abdul Qayyum. Initially, the District Police Officer of the city admitted that Dr. Abdul Qayyum is under the custody of agencies but when a delegation of respectful members of the city met with DPO, he retracted his earlier statement. Then after the family of Dr. Abdul Qayyum addressed a media conference and gave the details of his abduction to dozens of journalists, government agencies phoned the family of Dr. Abdul-Qayyim and tried to give the impression that government agencies are not responsible for his abduction, rather dacoits have abducted him for ransom. The government has been forced to stage such a bogus drama after facing sever pressure from people and the respected citizens. And these agencies' personnel neglected to explain why the so called dacoits left the eleven year daughter of Dr. Abdul-Qayyum who was in the car with him at the time of the abduction, when they could have taken her for an increased ransom!

The rulers and their master, America, have become frustrated at the popularity of Hizb ut-Tahrir in the masses generally and specifically in the people of power. So much so that they descend to lowly, cowardly acts like abduction and torture. These are similar to the acts of desperation from the Quraysh who tried to martyr Muhammad SAW to stop the establishment of Islamic state. Hizb ut-Tahrir  is also in the last stages of establishing Kilafah and very soon Ummah will hear the great news of the establishment of Kilafah inshaAllah. On a day of horror and disgrace for the tyrant rulers and their paid servants, on a day that Allah SWT will fill the hearts of Muslims with tranquility and happiness upon this great victory.
