-----IUFE UPDATE----

Special Report on Threat to Advocate Veerji Kolhi has revealed the identity of the person who called him and threatened him by telephone with death if he continued to raise the voice for the causes of Hindus

Aazam Nohani we have your name and your telephone number and serious action will be taken as a result of this threat made against Advocate Veerji Kolhi!  He has the right by LAW to defend his people from injustice!

"Two Days ago 72 Bonded Laborers were freed from bondage by order of the High court of Sindh. The freed persons have been engaged in protest because they have not received their personal possessions and their animals which were also ordered by the High Court to be returned to them. Currently there is no response from the police to carry out the orders of the High Court. The people are left whithout protection during their protest due to these circumstnces. On Monday I will file documents for contempt of courts for lack of response to the order of the High Court to return the personal possessions and the animals to the 72 freed persons.-"

After 72 people were freed by order of the High Court of Sindh  the police have not responded to the protests of these people whose personal possessions and livestock were confiscated by the Landlord!  As can be seen on the court order the people are free to live in freedom along with their personal possessions and their livestock! Advocate Veerji Kolhi will file a petition for Contempt of court for lack of police repsonse to carry out a direct order given by a Judge of the High Court of Sindh.   It is our hope that the people will receive their personal possessions and animals after 10 years of slavery under duress of torture and rape of women , starvation and severely harsh labor!  IUFE supports this protest led by Advocate Veerji Kolhi and will continue to support it until justice is served for these people and their personal possessions and animals are returned to them!  Thank you again Advocate Veerji Kolhi for your continued efforts to protect the rights of Bonded Laborers and all those oppressed under these conditions.

Advocate Veerji Kolhi received a death threat after he was successful in the High Court of Sindh with regard to a case of 72 Bonded Laborers who were recently set free.  This is the largest number of Bonded Laborers freed in one case!  IUFE congratulates Advocate Veerji Kolhi for winning a case that would seem impossible to have success with so great a number of people under the hardship of slavery.  In Facebook posts by two friends who are close to Advocate Veerji Kolhi  the death threat appeared as follows with friends giving support to Advocate Veerji Kolhi:

"We condemned the death threats to Veerji Kohli given by this number. 00923008240346. 
According to veer ji from above number some one called him and said, " We will kill you if you raise voice for Hindus " !! 

IUFE Thanks  Advocate Veerji Kolhi's friends for supporting him in his struggle to be a voice of his people and their only Advocate in whom they completely trust to handle their cases.

When I looked on Advocate Veerji Kolhi's wall I noticed a comment by Hassan Shabbir Rana that was the following statement:

"I also got a call from 00913338240346 and got threats from Kohli ji. does not prove anything."


Here is my question Hassan! What are you trying to prove by making this statement?  Could it be that you are the person who threatened  Advocate Veerji Kolhi in a recent telephone Call?  You can be assured that we will find out!  Your statement in itself is self  incriminating!

IUFE will make this threat public!  Medias will be notified and International Human Rights Organizations will have this on the record!  Advocate Veerji Kolhi is a voice for his people by LAW!  He has every right to speak for Hindus as they are his people!  His friends at IUFE his personal friends  and his family will stand behind him  in all his efforts!  We will never accept any death threats and will act aggressively to combat them!  All International Human Rights Organizations will be notified!
