    A Christian widow who heads the Immediate Clearance Group (ICG), Cargo-Crew Security Team at Jinnah International Airport, Karachi, for Pakistan’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), was threatened with death or a report of blasphemy by a CAA official over a parking dispute.

    Fortunately, the Christian woman’s argument with the official was recorded on a telephone and the nation’s humanitarian voices, rallied in her support.
    The Senior official has since been suspended from his position as a Facilitation Supervisor after widespread Pak-media fury, based on the video evidence.
    The Samina Mushtaq a mother of 4 children, has spoken with British Asian Christian Association  about her case as she pursues justice.  British Asian Christian Association are providing her with free advice from a solicitor and hope to commission the solicitor to take up the case if we can raise the costs for this service.
    Brave and intelligent Samina Mushtaq saved her life through a quickly recorded video.
    On Thursday, 5th January 2023, Samina Mushtaq a Christian woman who is head of IGC Security at  Jinnah International Airport, was threatened with a false blasphemy allegation over a parking dispute. The incident took place in Airport’s cargo area in Karachi, after a Muslim man named Saleem an official with the CAA, was reprimanded for allowing a friend’s vehicle past a security checkpoint, without a valid security pass.  Worse still the vehicle had no licence-plate.
    When Mrs Mushtaq , confronted Saleem, he identified himself as a government employee. he seemed upset that she would question his authority and began issuing threats.  In a  video recording taken on Samina’s phone he can be heard shouting out that he would “call maulanas and get her charged with blasphemy for insulting Islam and the Prophet’.  This action is out-of-place and out-of-order, considering Mrs Mushtaq does not mention the Koran, Islam, Muhammad or any of his acquaintances during her challenge to Saleem’s breach of security protocol.

    But it gets even worse, as the man can also be heard saying, ‘if you don’t let the car go, I will accuse you of Toheen-e- risalat (blasphemy), will call many mullahs and together we will cut you into pieces.”  This is a very direct threat of extra-judicial killing based on a false allegation of blasphemy.  If Saleem had gone through this, his actions would have led to a death sentence for murder – he was lucky he did not enact the threat.

    Even, then in the face of such provocation and a direct threat to her life, Mrs Mushtaq responds professionally and asks that Saleem put down in writing, that he has the authority to let cars through the security checkpoint.

    Strengthened, by her recording of the stressful exchange with Saleem, Mrs Mushtaq dares him to proceed with his threat to register a blasphemy case against her.

    Every Pakistani News Channel covered the story:

    Mrs Mushtaq at that point must have felt that the blasphemy case could not proceed in the face of such obvious evidence of her innocence. Sadly this is not the case in Pakistan, and Mrs Mushtaq could have spent  a long time in prison despite the world knowing she is innocent, while she awaited a trial date as most blasphemy offences are cognizable (legal term meaning police can arrest without warrant).  Worse still many blasphemy laws are non-bailable which means bail is not a matter of right but at discretion.

    However, after her recorded video went viral on 9th January 2023 humanitarian voices, across the country began to call for action to protect Mrs Mushtaq.  In a rare move and she even had the backing of the leading Ulema Councils across the nation (body of Islamic scholars).

    Allama Ziaullah Sialvi, the chairperson for the  Ulema Amn Council Pakistan (UACP), met Mrs Mushtaq. He has told Mrs Mushtaq that they will stand with her “both on the religious as well as legal grounds,”

    he has offered to support Mrs Mushtaq  with any legal action taken against the CAA official, including testifying in court against his actions.  This support has meant no blasphemy allegation has been registered with local police against Mrs Mushtaq – she was saved by her quick wit and mobile phone.  Dawn News in Pakistan has confirmed the Ulema Council support (haga clic aquí).

    Ms Mushtaq has informed British Asian Christian Association, that Saleem was suspended from his post after an initial investigation by CAA chiefs.  However, she has been challenging for a full probe and Director General of the CAA, Mr Khaqan Murtaza (Flt Lt emeritus) has already initiated the process.  She said:

    “I am satisfied that Ulema Councils and the CAA have supported me.

    “The video evidence clearly displays Saleem’s threats to kill me and his demands that I breach security protocols and safe measures.

    “I am glad that senior staff are taking this  disciplinary hearing seriously and seem like they want to get justice for me.

    “This was not the first time Saleem allowed the same car to park without the driver owning a  mandatory cargo-entry pass or a vehicle parking pass.

    “I am meticulous with my work, Saleem had no authority to allow the vehicle and driver into a restricted area – especially a car without a number-plate

    “he was routinely allowing this and other cars to park in a restricted area without authority.

    “I had advised all four security teams under my command to prevent this suspect car from entering, a process that was established before the incident.

    “I have collected and shared all evidence with the inquiry team including the name of the driver Abdul Rehman and his address.

    “It’s surprising that Saleem was able to offset the official parking restriction, especially after our airport suffered a terrorist attack in 2014 – one of the reasons why I ramped up the security protocol.”

    Injuries kept Mrs Mushtaq off work for 9 days in 2020

    While communicating with Juliet Chowdhry a trustee for British Asian Christian Association, in London via Facebook, Mrs Mushtaq explained her dissatisfaction with a previous inquiry process.  She added:

    “I am awaiting the result of a previous enquiry after I was accidently shot in my legs by a repeater gun in July 2020, while it was being checked to see if officers could load pellets. 

    “The incident happened in an office that was too small for the checking.

    “I was off work for 9 days and admitted for one night to Jinnah Hospital,  to receive treatment.

    Leg injuries being treated after gun misfire in CAA security office at Jinnah International Airport.

    “My case against the officer who shot me is still proceeding two years later.

    “In that case also, CAA did not register an FIR against the perpetrator – he was never arrested.

    “I received no compensation.

    “I am not happy with the investigation into that incident by Station House Officer Kaleem Musa, of Airport Police Station.

    “It seems Christian’s are overlooked when it comes to justice, I hope this time justice is swifter.”

    Pellets embedded in Mrs Mushtaq’s foot

    Mrs Mushtaq, alleges she is receiving some threats since the incident and wishes for better protection.  A car outside her home was smashed by vandals the day of the incident and this has left her family very frightened. BACA will be contacting the Pakistan High Commission to seek improved care for Mrs Mustaq and her family.  We intend to provide her with a solicitor who has already begun providing free advuce.  If you would like to donate towards the costs for a solicitor then please (haga clic aquí).

    Juliet Chowdhry, fideicomisaria de la Asociación Cristiana Asiática Británica, dijo:

    “It’s clear at that Saleem’s indignation came from the fact that he was being spoken to by a Christian.

    “He seems to feel that her faith meant she had no right to her position, and that her attempt to chastise him for corruption of a process was unwarranted.

    “Saleem seems to hold a pariah status for Mrs Mushtaq that knows no bounds of hatred, she was simply anathema.

    “He even threatened to kill her along with religious clerics – he just seems to be a grotesque human being.”

    Ella añadió:

    “Saleem has threatened national safety by averting an established security protocol, permitting unlawful entry to a restricted area to an unauthorized person.

    “That would seem to be grounds for instant dismissal , even if we discount the fact that Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport has been subjected to a major terrorist attack in 2014 (haga clic aquí).

    “In threatening Mrs Mushtaq, being disobedient and preventing her from undertaking her duty, Saleem endangered the safety of many people, he has broken the law.

    “Action should be taken by the Attorney of State to prosecute him.”

    Cifras de la Comisión Nacional para la Justicia y la Paz (NCJP) registraron que 537 personas fueron acusadas bajo las leyes de blasfemia durante 1986-2015, 633 (47%) eran musulmanes, 494 eran Ahmadi (37%), 187 eran cristianos (14%) y 21 eran hindúes. (2%). Los cristianos en ese momento componían 1.6% de Pakistán y Ahmadi alrededor de 0.2%. El informe no distinguía entre las sectas chiítas y sunitas del Islam. (haga clic aquí).

    Cabe señalar, sin embargo, que la comunidad Ahmadi ha estado boicoteando el censo desde 1974, para evitar la persecución a través de la identificación. El ACNUR estima que hay 4 millones de Ahmadi en Pakistán, una cifra que los convertiría en una minoría más grande que los cristianos. (haga clic aquí). En este punto, ambas minorías enfrentaban una gran tribulación que era desproporcionada para su población demográfica. También se puede ver que más de 50% de acusaciones de blasfemia se presentaron contra las minorías.

    Datos recientes del Centro para la Justicia Social (CSJ) indican que ocurrió una anomalía durante 2020 donde 199 personas fueron acusadas en un año de las cuales 75% eran musulmanes, en su mayoría chiítas (70%), seguidos de ahmadis (20%), sunitas (5% ), cristianos (3,5%), hindúes (1 por ciento). Los áhmadis aún califican más alto que los cristianos, pero ambos porcentajes han disminuido significativamente. Supongo que la falta de contacto con los cristianos debido al temor de que estuvieran sucios y más propensos a contraer el COVID-19 (una percepción musulmana conocida), y la creencia de que el COVID-19 era un castigo para las minorías ritualmente impuras dieron como resultado estas cifras más bajas. . Las cifras también reflejan las tensiones entre los chiítas y la secta de mayoría sunita. (haga clic aquí).
