Having recently issued a request that residents of Islamabad report any distribution of the literature of Hizb ut Tahrir to police authorities, the regime sunk even deeper in its suppression of Islam, through denying the imprisoned advocate for Khilafah "Caliphate", Dr. Iftikhar, an appropriate diet for a severe disease of the gut. Despite his repeated requests to the Kot Lakhpat Prison authorities, Dr. Iftikhar is being denied rice to eat which is an urgent medical requirement for his condition, ulcerative colitis, to prevent further damage to his continuously bleeding gut.
