  • Hindus in South Asia & the Diaspora: a Survey of Human Rights 2007
    Hindus in South Asia and the Diaspora: A Survey of Human Rights 2007 www.HAFsite.org May 19, 2008 “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights” (Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948, Article 1) “Religious persecution may shield itself under the guise of a mistaken and over-zealous piety” (Edmund Burke, February 17, 1788) Endorsements of the Hindu American Foundation's 3rd Annual Report “Hindus in South Asia and the Diaspora: A Survey of Human Rights 2006” I would like to commend the Hindu American Foundation for publishing this critical report, which demonstrates how much work must be done in combating human rights violations against Hindus worldwide. By bringing these abuses into the light of day, the Hindu American Foundation is leading the fight for international policies that promote tolerance and understanding of Hindu beliefs and bring an end to religious persecution. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) Freedom of religion and expression are two of the most fundamental human rights. As the founder and former co-chair of the Congressional Caucus on India, I commend the important work that the Hindu American Foundation does to help end the campaign of violence against Hindus in South Asia. The 2006 human rights report of the Hindu American Foundation is a valuable resource that helps to raise global awareness of these abuses while also identifying the key areas that need our attention. Congressman Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ) Several years ago in testimony to Congress regarding Religious Freedom in Saudi Arabia, I called for adding Hindus, Sikhs and Buddhists to oppressed religious groups who are banned from practicing their religious and cultural rights in Saudi Arabia.

  • In the Tuna Gillnet Fisheries of Pakistan
    ____________________________________________IOTC-2021-WPEB17(DP)-14 Some Observation on the Silky Shark (Carcharhinus falciformis) in the Tuna Gillnet Fisheries of Pakistan Muhammad Moazzam WWF-Pakistan, Karachi, Pakistan ([email protected]) Abstract Sharks form important part of bycatch of the tuna gillnet operations in Pakistan. Silky shark (Carcharhinus falciformis) was observed to the most dominating species in commercial landings of oceanic sharks at Karachi Fish Harbour Pakistan followed by mako shark. This species is considered as commercially important, as it meat is locally consumed whereas fins are exported despite restrictions because this species is included in Appendix-II of CITES. During the present study it was observed that large sized specimens (161 cm to 191cm TL) were not caught during 2017 and 2018 whereas in 2016, silky shark of these size classes were caught by tuna gillnetters as bycatch indicating overfishing of shark in general and silky shark in particular. Introduction Sharks are considered as an important bycatch group of tuna gillnet fishing in Pakistan (Khan, 2013; Moazzam, 2013, 2019; Shahid et al., 2015, 2016). In Pakistan, gillnets consisting of monofilament and multifilament are used for catching tuna and tuna like species. Monofilament net is mainly used for catching neritic tuna in coastal waters whereas multifilament nylon nets are used for catching longtail tuna (Thunnus tonggol), yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) and skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) in the offshore waters. There are about 700 tuna gillnetters based mainly in Karachi along Sindh Coast and Gwadar along Balochistan Coast. A number of shark species were observed to be entangled in the tuna gillnets which is dominated by silky shark (Khan et al., 2013, Moazzam, 2012; Shahid, 2012; Shahid et al., 2015, 2016).
