Justice for Janjua

Written by Soffia Yaqub Thursday, 19 May 2011

Sadness engulfed my heart when I last assisted Amina Janjua in her Supreme Court appearance in her endless campaign for missing persons of Pakistan. 

Amina Masood Janjua's fight for justice continues through her personal struggle in seeking justice for her husband and for numerous others detained without charge in Pakistan

Saber Lahmer is one of the six  'Bosnian Arabs' who were quite literally kidnapped by US agents from outside a Sarajevo courthouse where they had just been acquitted of terrorism related charges. What followed next was a horrifying ordeal in the Kafkaesque story that is Guantanamo. After being held without charge for over eight years Saber Lahmer was eventually released and resettled in France.

Cageprisoners Director Moazzam Begg met up with him at a conference in Paris to mark the ninth anniversary since the opening of the US prison in Cuba. The following is a transcript of the interview conducted between the two.

 

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ

Written by Hamza Ameer Wednesday, 17 November 2010

The Missing

Written by J. Malcolm Garcia Thursday, 14 October 2010

Amina Janjua and the search for thousands of disappeared Pakistanis swept up in the U.S. and Pakistan’s “War on Terror”—in 15 scenes.

This is a study of a home, of a particular idea of home at a particular time in our history. This is the study of the lives of people whose paths crossed whilst in a camp on 45 square miles of Cuba, cut off from the rest of the world by razor wire and water.
