Donate for struggle against martial law in
Pakistan
This is formal finance appeal by
Labour Party Pakistan for donations. We need your moral, social,
political and economical support for our struggle against martial law in
Pakistan.
Since the imposition of “emergency”
the real name is martial law, over 10,000 political and social activists
are behind bars all over Pakistan. Thousands more are in underground.
All the private television channels who were broadcasting news bulletins
are banned and are off the air.
Hundreds of advocates have been
arrested and tortured. Those judges who did not abide by the new
repressive constitutional order have been detained in their houses.
Their children are not allowed to go the schools and doctors not allowed
to visit the ailing judges.
Police is not allowing any public
or indoor meetings of any section of the society opposed to the military
dictatorship. Most of the political leaders of opposition parties are
under house arrest or in jails. It is total dark period in the history
of Pakistan.
This is 32nd year of 60
years of partition of the Indian subcontinent under military rule in
Pakistan. General Musharaf has been in power since October 1999. All his
claims of restoring democracy in gradual manner are just a farce. Bu
imposing martial law on 3rd November 2007, there is more
dictatorship than democracy in Pakistan.
Labour Party Pakistan is small
radical political party fighting for democracy since General Musharaf
has taken over. Hundreds of its activists have been in jail for the
crime of fighting for democracy. At present chairperson of Labour Party
Pakistan is in jail and general secretary in hiding trying to organize
the movement.
LPP is launching this finance
appeal to raise funds to enhance the struggle against the military
regime. We would like to help the political prisoners in all aspects,
not only of LPP but all from the movement. The funds will help develop
the underground work of political and social activists to continue their
efforts to build the movement. The donations will enable us to develop
the printing material needed for the movement. It will help develop the
literature and information material for the movement. It will help to
coordinate the different activities against the military regime. It will
develop more coordinated information spreading to all those interested
in the movement.
