E/CN.4/1996/35/Add.1 page 92 489. Sajida Parveen was allegedly raped repeatedly by two police officers from Budhla Sant police station in Multan, Punjab province while her husband was out of town. She had rejected earlier advances by the officers, but they allegedly broke into her house on 23 July 1994, after which a head constable locked her children in a room and threatened to kill them if anyone offered resistance. Sajida Parveen was then allegedly raped and robbed at gunpoint and her children threatened with harm if she reported the incident. A medical examination conducted pursuant to a magistrate’s order confirmed that more than one person had raped her, but the police refused to register her complaint. 490. Athar Iqbal Arain, a member of the Sindh Punjabi Students Association and a prisoner in Hyderabad central jail, was killed following a clash between prisoners and wardens, jail police, reserve police and the paramilitary Rangers on 27 July 1994. A tear-gas shell was allegedly fired directly into the face of Athar Iqbal Arain, which smashed his teeth and caused him to bleed profusely. Rather than being taken to hospital, he was reportedly given first aid at the prison dispensary and placed in bar fetters in an isolation cell, where he died in the early hours of 18 July 1994. Although prison officials maintained that he had committed suicide in his cell, a post-mortem report attributed his death to injuries sustained during a scuffle resulting from his resistance and due to his hitting his head against the wall. Following a Sindh High Court order, an FIR was lodged against the superintendent of the jail, three wardens and medical officers who refused to treat him. The outcome of the investigation was unknown. 491. Kamil Salongo was reportedly arrested from his home near Halani, Sindh, without a warrant on 11 August 1994 by a joint police unit from Halani and Mehrabpur police stations. He was allegedly held and beaten for four days, until relatives paid 5,000 rupees for his release. His arrest was part of an operation conducted in the wake of a robbery in the area, during which about 75 people were arrested and allegedly tortured until bribes were paid to secure their release. 492. Aftab Ali Beg, a photographer with the Urdu daily publication Jang, and his son were allegedly beaten in their home on 25 October 1994 by army personnel, after Aftab Ali Beg had photographed from the roof of his house the army’s activities during an undeclared curfew in Liaqatabad, Karachi. He was subsequently detained in the Liaqatabad army headquarters for several hours. 493. Jamil Ahmed, Abdul Razzaq, Mamoon Rashid, and Mohammad Shahid, arrested at their homes in Karachi on 6 May 1995 by members of the police and Rangers, were allegedly tortured at New Karachi police station while naked and blindfolded over a period of 23 days.

Abdul Razzak suffered a fractured leg and Jamil Ahmed sustained injuries to his leg and hips. The four men, unable to walk, were reportedly dragged blindfolded to the Special Court for the Suppression of Terrorist Activities on 29 May 1995, prompting the presiding officer of the Court to order them to undergo medical examinations.
