After Islamabad and Lahore, Arrests of Members of Hizb ut-Tahrir Continue in Karachi and Peshawar
Hizb ut-Tahrir will Continue its Struggle to Expose Treachery of Kayani/Zardari and Establish the Khilafah

After raiding Hizb ut-Tahrir's darses in Islamabad and Lahore and arresting over forty activists, government agencies continue targeting Hizb ut-Tahrir throughout the country. Two weeks ago, agencies kidnapped Hizb ut-Tahrir member Habibullah in front of his family from his home in Karachi. His whereabouts remain unknown. Those thugs took his mobiles and computer with them, and according to sources, Habibullah is locked in a secret torture cell in Malir Cantt. On Friday, government agencies arrested Hizb ut-Tahrir's member Professor Irfan from Peshawar and registered a terrorism case against him. The Anti-Terrorism judge has given him into police custody for two days physical remand.

It is unfortunate that these security agencies are arresting and torturing sincere members of Hizb ut-Tahrir, while CIA and Blackwater terrorists are roaming freely in our cities and towns. In reality, Hizb ut-Tahrir is the only real opposition which is challenging America and other colonialist powers, whether in Pakistan, the Arab World, Africa, Central Asia or South East Asia. Government actions against Hizb ut-Tahrir became harsher when Hizb ut-Tahrir exposed the treachery of the real ruler of Pakistan, Kayani, and incited the Ummah to stand against the American interests. It is Kayani who is not only helping America in Afghanistan and killing Muslims in Pakistan, but also working to establish Indian supremacy in the region. Kayani's recent statements over Siachen and the Defence Budget present him more as an official of some Indian NGO, than the commander of the Pakistan Army. This is the reason that during Kayani's tenure, India is granted MFN Status, the trade route is opened at the Wagha Border with India, India is given transit rights through Afghanistan, trade is started with India and the Kashmir Issue sidelined. And now he is accepting defeat in Siachen and talking openly of retreating from the glacier, to boost the morale of the coward Hindu soldiers. Kayani is today's Yahya Khan who is destroying Pakistan on American orders.

Hizb ut-Tahrir demands from the sincere officers in the armed forces to give the Nussrah to Hizb ut-Tahrir so as to get rid of today's Yahya Khan.

Hizb ut-Tahrir announces that it will continue its struggle against America and her agents, until the Khilafah "Caliphate" is establish by the will of Allah(swt).
