I got two letters and am posting them here as a member. I hope you
will publish them. The PressPakistan Group will not bow to any
pressure and will keep the history straight regarding freedom of the
press in the country in these tumultuous times, we live in today.

Criminal inquiry sought
=================

Mr. Khurshid Aizid
(Manager Human Resources)
Pakistan Herald Publication (Private) Limited
Haroon House, Dr. Ziauddin Ahmed Road ,
Karachi, Pakistan.

Dear Sir,

Thank you very much for your phone call. I was waiting for any kind of
response for the last two months. I’m living in solitary confinement
after three attempts on my life. I again request you (Dawn Media
Group) to provide me and my family members protection, and help us in
registering criminal cases against my tormentors at Dawn Islamabad:
Zaffar Abbas, resident editor; Farman Ali, news editor; Adeel Raza,
edition in-charge Islamabad; Rehan Yousuf, edition in-charge Peshawar
desk; Anwar Mansuri (the father), assistant editor; Yasir Mansuri (the
son), sub-editor; Tariq Mehmood Hasaan, sub-editor; Zar Alam Khan, sub-
editor; Amir Wasim, staff reporter; Munawar Azeem, crime reporter;
Chaudhry Ishaque, photographer and others at the office.

Plus their partners in crimes: officials of the Karakoram
International University Gilgit including Dr. Najma Najam, vice-
chancellor; Dr. Ahsanullah Mir, registrar; Muhammad Hussain,
additional registrar; Manzoor Ali, assistant professor physics
department; Prof. Salma Durrani, chairperson environmental sciences;
Dr. Muhammad Ramzan, associate professor educational development;
Karim Khan, director campus administration; Ms. Tahira, warden girls
hostel.

And the office-bearers of NGOs: Gojal Educational and Cultural
Association (Dawn’s News Editor Farman Ali is its president); Uks
(owned by Resident Editor Zaffar Abbas’s spouse); some journalists in
Islamabad and Gilgit, and officials of secret agencies including the
ISI (people at office claim that Zaffar Abbas is patronizing its cell
and counterfeit website, The dawn dot com dot pk, along with Zaid
Hamid and Ahmed Quraishi).

These people are criminal minds who are using their authority against
national organizations and innocent people. To keep their jobs and get
promotions, they can do anything even against this country and
humanity. They’re intellectual terrorists. They must face the law.
This is crucial to protect Mr. Jinnah’s Dawn and his Pakistan .

Yours faithfully,

Habib R. Sulemani
(Sub Editor)
Daily Dawn Islamabad,
Pakistan

=================================

Mr. Pervaiz Shaukat
(President)
Pakistan Federal Union Of Journalists
12-Nazimuddin Road, F-6/1,
Islamabad, Pakistan.

Dear Sir,

As a former colleague, you know that I am working as a journalist for
over 15 years in the mainstream newspapers. Currently, I am affiliated
with the daily Dawn in Islamabad. I have been victimized for years for
being an upright journalist who always raised voice against
unscrupulous people who abused the platform of the media.

Here I want to inform you formally that my life is in danger. I have
requested the government to provide me and my family protection but
there is no response so far. My Editor is also silent.

I am not disappointed by President Zardari, Prime Minister Gilani and
Army Chief General Kayani. But my voice is not reaching them as my
tormentors are very powerful, having God-like image in the terrorized
society. They believe “we can make or break” a government in the
country.

You know it very well that respected journalists – especially during
election campaigns of the National Press Club Islamabad and Rawalpindi-
Islamabad Union of Journalists – are treated worse than animals on the
Dawn Islamabad premises. However, members of intelligence agencies are
being welcomed and used against a journalist like me. It is a shameful
thing in the history of journalism in Pakistan.

The editorial liberty is being misused at Dawn. Members of the
Islamabad editorial management are directly or indirectly running
their so-called NGOs, some are working for other national and
international organizations (plus sectarian and racial groups as some
colleagues say).

I, therefore, seek your help as the leading organization of working
journalists in the country to help me in getting protection. I also
seek an independent investigation into the criminal charges against
the editorial management of Dawn.

Yours faithfully,

Habib R. Sulemani
Rawalpindi, Pakistan.

Mr. Sulemani

It seems ridiculous that you blamed many journalists and others for
killing you without mentioning the reasoning; why they tend to do so?

Did you ever assess yourself whether you are right or wrong? why every
one is your enemy?

Dear Habib,

 I have  gone through your letter and allegations are simply unbelievable. I personally know every one you have mentioned in the letter they are so nice, humble and peace loving journalists, how they can be your enemy? and  they can never think  to harm any one what to talk about killing you?. I agree with other fellows and that's is try to  resolve your issues internally. without any evidence its unfair to level allegation against such persons who have good repute in the society and in the  media community. Make friends and not adversaries.

take care

Mr. Sulemani,

What have you done that all these gentelmen have become your enemy. Some of them enjoy really a good repute in the community and no genuine journalist can even think such things about Zafar Abbas, Farman Ali, Amir Wasim and others. You must be mistaken, think about your own mental state and try to understand your colleagues.

Dear Mr. Sulemani,
 
I agree with what people have been posting, how can you make such serious allegations (death threats, attempt on life) without even hinting at a motive?
 
Plus the people you speak off are known to be sterling individuals. I went over your blog but even that does not explain sufficiently the root of your grievance. it is irresponsible to cast aspersions on people in this manner.

All colleagues,
 
              Charges levelled by Mr. Sulemani against mediapersons who are working in the same organization are incomprehensible because he has invovled number of persons in his single case. As far as, i know some people among them, they are very nice and peace-loving and surely the rest would be also friendly. Mr. Sulemani, you should resolve this issue through mutual talks instead of writing against them.
 
            What  you wrote in the letter is enough to spot and blemish a respectul journalist who enjoys excellent name and respect in journalist community.

The letters of Mr Sulemani created a stir compelling me, like many others, to go through most of his blogs.. And nowhere I could find any mention of the events or causes that have "instigated" these gentlemen, he points fingers at, to consider his physical elimination. ... I feel sorry for Mr Sulemani because I think the foremost thing he needs to do is to consult a good psychiatrist.
