LAHORE - The Pakistani prisoners who arrived here at Wagha border on Tuesday narrated horrific tales of torture and humiliation by the Indian forces after they were arrested, kept in detention and later remanded to judicial custody. India on Tuesday released at least 64 Pakistani prisoners including 54 fishermen who had been kept in Indian jails. The Indian forces arrested the fishermen after they mistakenly entered the Indian seawaters, according to the Indian authorities claim. A 23-year-old prisoner identified as Muhammad, Asif resident of Narowal, who had mistakenly crossed border, revealed the Indian Border Security Force (BSF) personnel badly tortured him after his arrest. They kept me in custody for more than a week before producing in the court and interrogated me as if I was a terrorist. They applied worst torture methods during the questioning, he said. The details of the torture and humiliation endured by these Pakistanis in Indian jails and detention centers reveal how Indian forces cross all limits of human rights when they interrogate the innocent Pakistanis. The victims, who narrated their horrific tales to this scribe, included two youths of Narowal District and a resident of Faisalabad. But their stories have striking similarities - they were all humiliated, detained in secret detention centers and subjected to torture. The torture, they endured included regular beatings and electric shocks for several days. Finally, they were produced in the court and remanded to judicial custody. Muhammad Asif also suffered a similar fate. They kept telling me I was involved in terrorist activities. They wanted to know where I had come from and whom I had come to see in India. I told them I had never visited India before, but this angered them further and they started torturing me, he said. Another youth Muhammad Munir alleged the Indian security personnel used to taunt him about his religion. He said he was also illegally detained for 10 days, taken to four different detention centers and was tortured in each of them. It seemed we were living in the hell. They (Indian Jailers) used to frequently torture Pakistani prisoners. They also applied traditional torture methods on us. Some Pakistanis kept in Amritsar Jail have lost their mental balance due to severe torture, another prisoner Nazir Hussain told TheNation at Wagha border minutes after he was handed over to Pakistan Rangers. Apart from 54 fishermen, at least 10 Pakistani prisoners from Faisalabad, Narowal and other districts were also released. The rest of the prisoners were kept in Alampur, Gujraat and Amritsar jails. They were released after they completed their jail terms ranging from three years to 20 years. It is important to mention here that Pakistani authorities had released 442 Indian prisoners in the recent past after the civil society organisations filed a writ petition in the Supreme Court of Pakistan for the release of Indian prisoners. Later, a Pakistani delegation comprising civil society organisations including South Asia Partnership Pakistan visited India, met top political leaders including Congress leader Sonia Gandhi, government officials and judges of the Supreme Court of India to press New Delhi to release innocent Pakistani kept in Indian Jails. The fishermen belonged to Thatha and Karachi area. The South Asia Partnership Pakistan, Pakistan Institute for Education and Research and other civil society organisations gave warm welcome to these prisoners at the Wagha border on Tuesday and showered flower petals on them as they entered Pakistan. All the prisoners were quite happy. We will celebrate the forthcoming Eid with our families, they told the media men.
