Please watch Zemira Eli Natan's interview with Vlad Tepes regarding this case. She discusses the magnitude of this case and issues that make a case such as this so very serious when it occurs in a Muslim country.  Zemira provides an explanation of Bonded Labor and the condition in which the people enslaved live. Bonded Laborers are allegedly protected under the Bonded Labor Abolition Act of 1992, however often these laws do not provide protection to the bonded laborers becuase they do not understand or are not informed of their basic rights under this law.

The victim of this case, Tari D/O Khengo Kolhi and her father Khengo Kolhi is currently under Advocate Veerji Kolhi"s protection.  Advocate Veerji Kolhi will continue to challenge the accused in  this case in court until the accused are in police custody and a trial is set to bring the accused to immediate justice for RAPE at GUNPOINT!

"14 Year old girl Tari d/o Khengo Kolhi raped by Hussain Laghari for 4 months at gunpoint. She is now 7 months pregnant. Incident occurred at Village Missan Taluka Chamber District Tando Allahyar"
====Advocate Veerji Kolhi----



Advocate Veerji Kolhi has just notified IUFE of a crime that is one of many that are committed by Landlords in Pakistan.  14 Year old Tari, a mere child herself is placed in a position that will destroy her future and her life.  Hussain Laghari raped Tari for 4 months at gunpoint with no mercy.  She is now 7 months pregnant and her future is destroyed as a result!  What  compensation can be given that will make up for the violence and abuse that this young girl has endured?  There is none!  There is only bringing this Landlord and heartless rapist to justice for this terrible crime!  This girl is one of many in Bonded Labor who endure this.  The girls are given as a price for repayment of debt to the Landlord who continues to raise the debt incurred without any hope for the Bonded laborers to repay the debt.  They are then left helpless to watch the landlords take their daughters, use them and abuse them at gunpoint !  These crimes must be stopped immediately and we will do everything to make this public until the family and child to whom this crime was committed will receive proper justice in the arrest of this Landlord so that he may pay for his crimes.  IUFE supports Advocate Veerji Kolhi in his efforts to protect the members of his community and assist this family  during this time of suffering for them.  We will never be silent until we receive justice!
