530 deportees from Oman arrives back home: KARACHI, October 28: The Five hundred and thirty (530) Pakistani prisoners arrested in Muscat, (Oman) few months earlier for illegal entry and employment, released and returned back home on Thursday morning. There release could become fruitful because of the efforts of human rights organisation the Ansar Burney Welfare Trust International, Pakistan Embassy at Muscat and the kind cooperation of the Omani Government. These 530 Pakistanis arrested in Oman due to illegal entry were arrived in Karachi after deportation from Muscat. They belonged to various parts of the country and were arrested some time back while trying to enter illegally via sea route in the Gulf state to seek lucrative jobs. The 530 men, who were arrested over the past month, arrived here in a Boat, Al-Fajar 2, at Ghasbandar, Keemari the port city of Karachi on Thursday, after leaving the Muscat capital of Oman four days ago on horrifying journey of sea. The Vice Chairman of the Ansar Burney Welfare Trust International and Prisoners Aid Society, Syed Fahad Burney, thanks and appreciated the kind cooperation of the Government of Oman for the release of Pakistani Prisoners. He also appreciated the efforts of the Pakistan Embassy in Muscat and its Community Welfare Attache, Mr Sohail Siddiqi in this regard. People involved in the human trafficking racket fetched thousands of rupees from these poor people and later disappeared leaving them in quandary. Some of them were caught by the Oman Security Forces while on their way to Muscat and UAE because of strict security whereas majority were arrested after illegal entry. At the arrival of 530 released Pakistani prisoners from Muscat at Ghasbander, Keemari the Sea Port of Karachi the Ansar Burney Welfare Trust International, even of fasting month of Ramadan, has arranged special food, drinking water, clothes and other necessaries of life, as they were hungry and thirsty during sea journey. Syed Fahad Burney on behalf of the Ansar Burney Welfare Trust International also paid cash money to most of the returnees so that they could be able to go their homes in far flung areas. Touching scenes were witnessed at the sea port, as the returnees came out from the Cargo Boat Al Fajr 2, where they were received by the Vice Chairman of the Trust, Syed Fahad Burney and other volunteers of the Trust. These Pakistanis immediately felt down and bow down to thank Almighty Allah who saved their lives and they were been able to come back home. They were very much grateful to Ansar Burney Welfare Trust International and the Government of Oman for their release and return back to home. Fahad Burney especially thanks to Oman Government for the early release of these Pakistanis and there kind cooperation with Ansar Burney Welfare Trust International in this regard. Fahad Burney said the relatives of other prisoners in Foreign Jails could also be contacted to Ansar Burney Welfare Trust International at 6 Hassan Manzil, Arambagh Road, Karachi or by phone; (021) 2626274, 2628719, 2623382, 2623383. It may be recall here that in the last 24 years Ansar Burney Welfare Trust International has so far been able to get release of more than 600,000 (Six hundred thousand) innocent prisoners who were illegally imprisoned in Pakistan as well as in other Countries. Some of them were released after 50 to 55 years of illegal confinement and some of them were even born in prisons and mental asylums and released after 35 to 40 long years only because of the hectic efforts of this organisation and Chairman Ansar Burney, Advocate. The "Ansar Burney Welfare Trust International" has also arranged release of around 20,000 (twenty thousand) persons from mental asylums and mental wards of prisons, these were not mental cases but were kept in these asylums by some influential persons due to their own vested interests. These people after their release were reunited with their family, who in some cases, were not even aware that their relative was alive. Others were provided a shelter and other basic needs while they were given a more "normal" life outside captivity. The Ansar Burney Welfare Trust International has also been successful to trace out more than 100,000 (one hundred thousand) children through the Bureau of Missing Persons (also part of ABWTI) who were safely delivered to their families. These include children who were set free from bounded labour camps and young girls who had been sold away for prostitution. Some of these children were brought back from foreign countries where they were taken for labour work, sex, camel riding, and smuggling or to be sold off. Some of the deportees told that Mand area of Balochistan became the international market of human trafficking where different rates have been fixed for Muscat, Dubai, Turkey, London and other countries. They were also complained about inhuman treatment and torture in jails. END. http://www.ansarburney.org ********************************* ------------------------ Yahoo!
