Three minor girls ‘trafficked to feudal lord in Larkana’

Karachi
Three minor girls abducted in Karachi one and a half months ago are believed to have been trafficked to a feudal lord in Larkana and languishing in his private jail since.
Fourteen-year-old Sabeena, 10-year Nageena and 10-year Soorat were kidnapped in Banghoria Goth in Azizabad and taken to the private jail.
According to police sources, an influential feudal lord of the Shikarpur district was behind the trafficking of the girls.
They said the local police did not dare raid the private jail because “the law of the jungle still prevails in the interior of Sindh”.
A large number of people, including the parents and relatives of the girls, staged a protest demonstration in front of the Karachi Press Club on Thursday, and demanded of the Sindh government to rescue them.
They deplored that the government had maintained a criminal silence on the trafficking incident because two influential feudal lords of the Jatoi clan had been protecting the culprits.
They demanded of the government and human rights and child rights
organisations to take notice of the incident.
They also requested the inspector general of police and the Rangers’ director general to take action to recover the girls and arrest the culprits.
Pakistan Muslim League-Q Sindh President Haleem Adil Sheikh also participated in the protest.
He said Larkana had been made a no-go area for the police, who were not taking action “against the Waderas involved in this serious crime because they belong to the political party of the prime minister”.
He gave a three-day deadline for the recovery of the girls, and warned that he expose the Waderas at a press conference if the required action was not taken.
