SOLIDARITY WITH THE NATION OF PAKISTAN
Pakistanis living in the USA admire the nation of Pakistan’s struggle for human rights. The people of Pakistan have defeated imperialism from the United Kingdom and today we expect a strong voice in solidarity against aggression, Zionism and foreign occupation.
Even when you do not have money you stand for human rights and self determination. Pakistan is truly a unique nation. Many in the world look towards the people of Pakistan for moral support. There are similar struggles for self determination and democratic values being waged in Nepal, Burma, Palestine and Somalia today, and they deserve our solidarity.
Of course, the people of Pakistan are themselves in the middle of a major fight to regain democracy! When the nation’s dictator General Musharaf assumed power he declared that he would no longer wear his military uniform. He lied to us then just as he continues to lie today. He has used guns to violate the Constitution. Musharaf has become a disgrace to Pakistani human values. In effect he has become the poodle of the West as he allows US imperialism to attack our brothers and sisters in Pakistan and to use our land for launching attacks against Afghanistan.
Today we see how monks in Burma take to the streets and are killed for defending democracy and resisting the monarchy. But on the 12th of May in our country it was the occupation of the Lal Masjid (Red Mosque) which provoked a similar violent response from Musharaf’s thugs as they killed hundreds of religious students and their sympathizers. Many other hundreds have been killed and countless thousands have disappeared during Musharaf’s reign. Musharaf counts on the corrupt, treacherous politicians who benefit from secret deals with him.
Winds of change are sweeping the globe and they will also come to our region. As we prepare for the arrival of change we must demand the following:
1. General Musharaf must resign immediately.
2. All political prisoners, labor activists, students, human rights activists and intellectuals must be released.
3. A caretaker government to be put in place until free and democratic elections are held under international supervision and the participation of ex president Jimmy Carter’s electoral watchdog organization.
4. Politicians who were in voluntary exile for the last five years should not be allowed to participate as they are just waiting to implement similar policies.
