  • 24 October 2019 Pakistan
    24 October 2019 Pakistan: Muhammad Ismail, father of woman human rights defender Gulalai Ismail, abducted in Peshawar On 24 October 2019, Muhammad Ismail, the father of Pakistani woman human rights defender Gulalai Ismail, was abducted by a group of unidentified men as he was leaving the Peshawar High Court. The family, supporters and colleagues of Gulalai Ismail have been subjected to relentless threats, intimidation and harassment by officers of the Pakistani Military and Intelligence service since 25 May 2019. Gulalai Ismail is an award-winning woman human rights defender and the co-founder of Aware Girls, who has been compelled to flee Pakistan after two First Information Reports (FIRs) were filed against her on 22 and 23 May 2019 by police in Islamabad. The FIRs accuse her of serious offenses including “sedition” under the Penal Code and Sections 6/7 of the regressive Anti- Terrorism Act. Her father, Muhammad Ismail is a well known human rights defender in Pakistan, and has been critical of human rights violations in the country, particularly the treatment of his daughter by the State apparatus. Front Line Defenders has previously issued an urgent appeal expressing its concern against the filing of false and baseless allegations against Gulalai Ismail and a further appeal condemning the threats against her family, especially her elderly parents and sister. Since May 2019, the family home in Islamabad has been raided by armed military on at least four occasions. During these raids the officials questioned and harassed her parents, confiscated their mobile phones, and photographed Gulalai Ismail’s younger brother, without his consent.

    URGENT ACTION PROFESSOR TROTZ COVID-19- INFEKTION ERNEUT IN HAFT PAKISTAN UA-Nr: UA-148/2019-2 AI-Index: ASA 33/3626/2021 Datum: 3. Februar 2021 – sd PROFESSOR MUHAMMAD ISMAIL Am 2. Februar wurde Professor Muhammad Ismail erneut inhaftiert, nachdem ein Antiterrorgericht in Peshawar seine Freilassung gegen Kaution nicht bestätigt hatte. Der 66-Jährige unterstützt seine Tochter, die Menschenrechtsverteidigerin Gulalai Ismail, und sieht sich einer Anklage wegen „Terrorismus-Finanzierung“ gegenüber. Ihm droht eine langjährige Haftstrafe. Muhammad Ismail wurde kürzlich positiv auf Covid-19 getestet und seine Angehörigen berichten, dass sich sein Gesundheitszustand erheblich verschlechtert habe. Im Falle einer Gefängnisstrafe sind seine Gesundheit und seine Sicherheit in ernsthafter Gefahr. Der erneuten Festnahme von Muhammad Ismail gingen massive Einschüchterungsversuche voraus. Die Familie Ismail wird bereits seit Mai 2019 überwacht, bedroht und eingeschüchtert, ihre Wohnung wurde mehrmals durchsucht. Seit Juli 2019 muss Muhammad Ismail immer wieder vor Gericht erscheinen. Er selbst und seine Frau stehen auf den Flugverbotslisten des Landes, sodass sie ihre Tochter Gulalai Ismail nicht treffen können. Diese musste im September 2019 aus ihrem Heimatland fliehen. Da Muhammad Ismail unter dem drakonischen Antiterrorgesetz und dem Digitalverbrechensgesetz Pakistans angeklagt ist, droht ihm eine langjährige Haftstrafe. Nachdem er sich online für seine Tochter und deren menschenrechtliche Arbeit eingesetzt hatte, sah sich der Professor zunächst Terrorismus-Vorwürfen gegenüber, später lautete die Anklage auf „Aufwiegelung“. Am 2. Juli 2020 sprach das Antiterrorgericht in Peshawar Gulalai Ismail, Muhammad Ismail und seine Frau Uzlifat vom Vorwurf des „Finanzterrorismus“ frei. Doch bereits drei Monate später, am 30. September 2020, wurden sie vom selben Gericht wegen „Aufwiegelung“ und „Terrorismus“ angeklagt – worauf lange Haftstrafen stehen.

  • Gulalai Ismail, Flyer
    TACKLING EXTREMISM AND VIOLENCE IN PAKISTAN: THE ROLE OF YOUNG PEOPLE AND WOMEN In a place where lives are shattered by violence and militants rule the streets, one woman took it upon herself to stand up for women’s rights and challenge the power of the Taliban. Flying from her home in Pakistan to talk first-hand about her experiences, hear Gulalai Ismail speak in Edinburgh on Tuesday 13 September, 6pm MEET GULALAI Gulalai was just 16 when she co-founded innovative local organisation, Aware Girls, in Pakistan. Driven by a passion to challenge a culture of intolerance and extremism, Gulalai began running workshops in her home town to provide women with leadership skills to challenge oppression and fight for their rights to an education and equal opportunities. Based in Peshawar, north-west Pakistan, Aware Girls has grown into an internationally renowned organisation that since 2002 has trained, empowered and inspired hundreds of youth in Pakistan. Nobel peace prize winner and victim of the Taliban’s bullets, Malala Yousafzai, was among one of the earliest members. Last year, with the support of international NGO Peace Direct, Gulalai and her team helped over 1,300 young people in Pakistan to challenge extremism. Despite threats against her own life, Gulalai next plans to expand her work into neighbouring Afghanistan. A winner of the 2009 Youth Action Net Fellowship, the 2014 International Humanist Award and the 2015 Commonwealth Youth Award for Asia, Gulalai was named as one of Foreign Policy’s Global Thinkers in 2013 and has been featured by the BBC, Guardian, Huffington Post and more.

  • National Human Development Report
    Pakistan National Human Development Report Unleashing the Potential of a Young Pakistan The front cover of this report represents a vi- sual exercise depicting Pakistan’s youth as a 100 young people. Our wheel of many colours represents the multiple dimensions of what it means to be young in Pakistan today. Based on national data as well as results of our own sur- veys, the Wheel presents a collage of informa- tion on Pakistan’s young people (details in Chap- ter 2). This tapestry shows the diversity as well as vibrance of our youth, while also highlighting the inequities and hurdles they face as young Pakistanis. We chose the Wheel as this Report’s motif and cover art, because it represents not only the basis of our hopes for the future, but also our concerns. Diagram inspired by Jack Hagley’s ‘The world as100 people’. Pakistan National Human Development Report 2017* Unleashing the Potential of a Young Pakistan *NOTE: The data (including national statistics, survey results and consultations) in this report was mostly completed in 2016. Published for the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Human Development Reports: In 1990, Dr. Mahbub ul Haq produced the first Human Develop- ment Report, introducing a new concept of human development focusing on expanding people’s opportunities and choices, and measuring a country’s development progress though the richness of human life rather than simply the wealth of its economy. The report featured a Human Devel- opment Index (HDI) created to assess the people’s capabilities. The HDI measures achievements in key dimensions of human development: individuals enabled to live long and healthy lives, to be knowledgeable, and have a decent standard of living.
