Lahore: The Jamaat e Islami is observing Protest Day on Friday against the state repression on the Islamic movements going on in Egypt, and Bangladesh. This was decided at a meeting of JI office bearers with the JI Secretary General, Liaqat Baloch, in the chair. The protest is aimed at drawing the world attention towards the gross human rights violations in Egypt and Bangladesh in the form of illegal arrests of Ikhwan Ul Muslimoon and JI leaders and workers in the two countries and mass trials and convictions on flimsy charges.
The Ulema and Khatibs at mosques in their Friday addresses, would highlight the injustices being done to the Islamic movement leadership in the two countries, and urge the world community to raise voice against that.
The meeting noted that as many as 1300 Ikhwan Ul Muslimoon leaders and workers had been sentenced to death after a brief trial of a few minutes as the Egyptian President General Sisi was determined to eliminate the Islamic movement from his country, while the same was the situation in Bangladesh where the pro-India government of Haseena Wajid wanted to wipe out the Islamists.
