Comrades, as you are well aware, the military regime in Pakistan has decided it will crush popular dissent by heavy-handed suppression of labor unionists, political leaders and progressive students.
Over the past decades, it is difficult to ascertain just how many people were illegally abducted and murdered by successive military rulers.
Throughout our history, progressive and revolutionary forces have been attacked and systematically destroyed.
Among the numerous victims of the military-dominated state was the martyr Hassan Nasir, a respected leader of the communist and labor movement in Pakistan. He was among those who were arrested and tortured to death during the previous military regime.
The repression and torture of the 80s has returned to Pakistan now. Hell, when did it ever leave in the first place? ;)
I have posted a video which shows Pakistani police and intelligence services attacking and torturing dissidents.

And here are my comments on the footage:
In its efforts to hold on to its economic privileges, the military of Pakistan is prepared to use any and all means to crush popular dissent. Illegal abduction, detention and torture of Pakistani citizens is a major weapon in the repressive arsenal of the military regime.
The Chief Justice ruffled quite a few feathers in the military and intelligence top-brass when he began looking into these illegal activities of the state. I wrote about it earlier, in this post.
It has come to light that over the past years, the military regime has also been handing over illegally abducted citizens of Pakistan to the US military and intelligence community. It is known that some of the people arrested by Pakistani authorities ended up in the American gulag at Guantanamo.
Under the current situation of martial law, the military regime is free to plumb new depths of cruelty and depravity in its desperation to hold on to power.
Here is a well-made documentary on the missing dissidents of Pakistan:
Look at the unbridled brutality of the police.
Notice the anguish of mothers whose offspring are rotting in secret detention centres operated by our “security” forces.
Be it today, tomorrow, or in a thousand years, the people of this land will have their revenge. Let the world be witness to the atrocities of our rulers, so that when our time comes, nobody dares to hold us back.
Let’s swear by every grain of soil in our land that all this pain will be paid back…with interest!
