Today marks one year in Hanif Pashtun’s prison. A year ago today, at around 3 am, several ISI men attacked a house in Bannu, opened fire, and then filed an FIR against Hanif and his two accomplices. They were arrested in this fake case. It is said that a dead body was brought from another place to make this case against Hanif Pashteen. Such dramatic cases from the state have also caused great frustration among Pashtun youth. Because the case is baseless and the witnesses are unable to testify in court, the state is delaying the trial.

Hanif Pashteenn is not to be forgotten. I hope that PTM comrades will regularly fight politically and legally for their release.
