Press Release
Pakistan's ambassador in Jordan refrains from meeting Hizb ut Tahrir delegation and orders embassy staff not to receive their letter
(Translated)

On Monday 22/08/2016, a delegation from Hizb ut Tahrir Wilayah Jordan visited the Pakistan embassy in the capital Amman to hand over a letter from Hizb ut Tahrir to the ambassador. In this letter, the Hizb demanded that the Raheel-Nawaz regime release Dr. Iftikhar immediately, explaining that the life of Dr. Iftikhar is at risk due to being deprived of treatment by the Raheel-Nawaz regime after his surgery. However, the ambassador of Pakistan in Amman showed himself to be a true representative of the repressive and criminal agent regime in Pakistan when he abstained from meeting the delegation and gave orders to the staff and employees of the embassy not to accept the letter from the Hizb ut Tahrir delegation. By his action, he confirmed the great level of decline that the Raheel-Nawaz regime in Pakistan has descended. At the head of the delegation was Ustadh Bilal Al-Qasrawi, Head of the Central Communications Committee of Hizb ut Tahrir in Wilayah Jordan.

The following is the text of the letter (statement) that the delegation carried to the Pakistan embassy in the capital Amman:

“Press Release
Release Dr. Iftikhar Immediately
Dr. Iftikhar's Life is in Danger Because the Raheel-Nawaz Regime Denies him Treatment after his Operation

The regime has descended to even lower depths of indecency and oppression against one of the prominent advocates for the Khilafah "Caliphate" in Pakistan, Dr. Iftikhar. After months of campaigning for an operation for his severe ulcerative colitis which worsened during his imprisonment, Dr. Iftikhar finally had his large bowel removed on Saturday 6 August 2016 after a lengthy operation. Even though he was unconscious after his operation, the regime thugs’ first concern was to slap on shackles after the operation. In a critical condition after his operation, Dr. Iftikhar first suffered from internal bleeding and now has an infection to his wound. Yet, the prison authorities visited and asked for Dr. Iftikhar to be transferred back to prison, even though the Professor of Surgery insisted that he must be in post-operative surgical care for a total of three weeks after the operation. Police then on 11 August 2016 physically attacked a doctor who came to examine Dr. Iftikhar. And the senior thug of the regime, of the rank of Inspector General, forcefully moved Dr. Iftikhar to a medical ward, even though he is a surgical case. And now the thugs are denying Dr. Iftikhar essential medical investigation for his survival, for in such cases Ultrasound Scans, White Blood Counts, Haemoglobin Levels, Blood Cultures and Wound Cultures are mandatory.

Accordingly, all the harm that is now befalling Dr. Iftikhar now, including the threat to his very life, lies on the head of the Raheel-Nawaz regime.

We ask those with sight and feeling in the journalists, judges, lawyers and human rights activists how long they will be silent over the inhumane treatment of the advocates of the Khilafah "Caliphate"?! Is it not for our judges to judge by Islam and release the one who calls towards the Deen of his Lord (swt) from the dungeons of the tyrants, rather than let him languish under their maltreatment? Is it not a duty upon the media to condemn the injustice against the Muslims who call for the restoration of the Khilafah "Caliphate", in a land that was created in the name of Islam?

Let those with sight and feeling heed and stand for what is right to send a clear message to the tyrants that you reject their condemnable stance towards the believers! Allah (swt) said,

(وَمَا نَقَمُوا مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا أَنْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَمِيدِ)

“And they resented them only because they believed in Allah, the Almighty, Worthy of all praise.” [Surah Al-Barooj 85:8]

Finally, we say to this unjust regime and its entire apparatus, its rulers and its thugs, who call themselves security agencies, yet are hostile to Islam and its advocates, as well as the judges that collude with the tyrants and any others who bring harm the loyal servants of Allah (swt), that Dr. Iftikhar, along with his brothers from the Shabab of 000 000 have sworn before Allah (swt) to strive their utmost for this Deen and revive this Ummah through the establishment of the Khilafah "Caliphate" (Caliphate) on the methodology of the Prophethood, which RasulAllah (saaw) gave its glad tidings. So know, O criminals from the rulers, agencies and judiciary, that your condemnable stance will neither break the resolve of Dr. Iftikhar nor will it slow down the march to the Khilafah "Caliphate", for you are dealing with men who seek martyrdom and Firdaus. And when, soon inshaaAllah, the Khaleefah seizes you and avenges this Ummah for the harm that you caused her sons and at that time you will not find a place to hide, for even the corridors of the White House will not grant you sanctuary.

The very least you can do now in the hope for easing your impending plight is that you immediately release Dr. Iftikhar or else we remind you, lest you made yourself forget, that Allah (swt) said,

(وَسَيَعْلَمُ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا أَيَّ مُنْقَلَبٍ يَنْقَلِبُونَ)

“And those who have wronged are going to know to what [kind of] return they will be returned.” [Surah ash-Shu'araa 26:227]
