Next Hearing is on 26th May

Dear Friends,


The next hearing will be on 26th May, 2012, the lawyer says that this is the last stage of all five cases of Hector Aleem. He also says that Hector Aleem will be acquitted (released) from all cases because the complainants are not showing interest and are not appearing before the court for the proceeding. But he also said that Hector Aleem will not be acquitted (released) like that, there has to be a very final argument before the court and it does not matter if the applicants appear before the court or not. The lawyer is again asking for his fee for the final arguments, you have all helped us a lot before that and we have come down from many cases to just five cases which will be finished very soon. OR may be we have to go to the High Court for the bail so, it is a request to all of you to please contribute whatever you can to support Hector Aleem who is a Human Rights Activist in Pakistan whose only crime was that he spoke for the freedom of religion. If you believe in freedom of religion, then please support Hector Aleem. And those who cannot, please tell your friends and family members about the case and tell them to help us as much as possible.
Any kind of help will be appreciated.

Hector Aleem had a Heart Attack in Jail

Greetings dear friends

Yesterday was daddy's hearing, he was not there, we came to know that he had heart attack last night that is why he was not able to make it. He does not have any medical facilities and neither any facility of doctor in jail, and we also dont have much sources to give him medicines. As you all may know that he is a heart patient and he had his first Heart Attack on 15 September, 2006 and after that he had an Angioplasty (Operation of Heart) and then he was fine but he had to take medicines of course. The jail authorities due to their personal grudge are not giving him medicines for his heart and are also not providing him and doctor which is very sad. We just know that he is fine now but not giving him medicines is a shameful act done by the authorities. The judge gave him another date which is 4 of June 2011 but the hearing for blasphemy law case is 26th of May 2011. 


Also we are about to start a Supreme Court campaign in which we will encourage you all to write letters to the Supreme Court of Pakistan. Because as we can see now, the Supreme Court of Pakistan is stronger then the government of Pakistan.

I want all friends to pray for us and tell God to provide some sources, and all friends tell your other friends and churches to pray for us and do anything that can help us or anything that can support the case.

Update About Hector Aleem's Hearing - 15/09/2010

Dear supporters of Hector Aleem,

Nothing happened in today's hearing because our lawyer didn't appear on today's hearing
We are more deserving than any other flood victim. They lost their house and everything because of natural disaster but we have lost everything of ours because of nothing. I just hate it. Why people are donating them who wont even appreciate because they consider it KAFIR (infidel) MONEY but we are Christians and waiting for help for two years but nobody came forward. I thank every body who has donated but still we need lots of money because of our lawyer, I asked lots of organisations but nobody agreed I am very sure if we were Muslims all these organisations would have helped us 100 times. people are donating these flood victims in millions but nobody can donate us $5000, we dont have much to eat but still we say that our father should be out we dont need money for anything else but I think people are heartless. We have paid our lawyer $1000 and unlimited to his clerk for filing and papers and to him for the gas of his car this amount makes another $1000 and he doesn't considers it as fee but only expenses for him but he didn't appear in court in today's hearing because he want all money together. Even our own church didn't help us. I get $1,$2 or $5 and sometimes $50 or $100 which is very rare. What can this amount do? A sister is helping us in collecting donations and I know she is having too much trouble even from her own Church and I asked another brother to request people for donation on his group but he refused because he said telling people to collect money will lessen his readers and members, they all will leave the group immediately. People can spend $15 or $20 in buying useless Shane Dawson or Shay Tard shirts or buy farmville or mafia wars cash but they can't help someone who's life is in risk. We are living in this difficult country that we cannot even do jobs. But nobody even arranged any asylum for us.

Update About Hector Aleem 21/08/2010

Dear group members.

21st August 2010 was the hearing of Hector Aleem, so here is the update about the hearing. First of all our lawyer asked the judge for the stay, because the High Court has given the stay for the quashment of the case and advised the lower court not to proceed until the High Court allows the lower court but as the judge of the lower court is very discriminative, he was not ready to give the stay even after the order of the High Court but after our lawyer gave some legal points and told him to wait until the judgment of the High Court he agreed not to proceed but the Mullahs and the Lawyer of the plaintiff pressurized him to proceed other wise they will protest and will destroy the court, the judge than started the proceeding. All the witnesses were available and our lawyer had to question them but the Investigation officer of Hector’s case was not available, so the judge has ordered the IO (investigation officer) to come on the next hearing. During the argument of both lawyers (our and plaintiff’s) they both argued so harshly and were about to had a physical fight. But the judge ordered both of them to calm down. And gave the next date of hearing. This all situation tells us that our lawyer is quiet brave and is ready to face any situation.

Thank you for all your moral and financial support. Those who can donate please use the following methods.

What Happened in the High Court today!

Ty brothers and sisters........Today we went to the court but the lawyer of opponent party was not ready and he asked for some time. On the other hand our lawyer did an awesome job, he raised many legal points and judge was very impressed by our lawyer and Judge was on our side. But there were many Mullahs and they began to shout slogan against Christianity.......they were shouting "DEATH TO CHRISTIANITY" After the hearing we ran away from the court and hid ourselves in an office of our lawyer's friend. When the coast was clear we came back to home. We ran away from the court because we heard one of them saying that we must do something to Hector's family to teach that bloody infidel some lesson. We need more prayers..........Thank you once again for praying.

Now next hearing is on 26 July 2010, we got some time till Monday so please pray more and more for Daddy (Hector Aleem) and please all those who are bloggers please submit this story in your blog and tell your other blogger friends. And those who can donate, please donate for the fee of this lawyer. I know the fee is very high but he works really good, I have seen him today he is very brave and bright.

Update About Hector Aleem

Dear supporters of Hector Aleem,

I am very sorry that I didn't update you on time. so here is the update of Hector's case.

1- Our lawyer who was working for us has ran away and after that we found another lawyer who is a Supreme Court lawyer and he has taken our case. When he took our case he told me that first of all he will make Hector out than we will give him his fee but as soon as he took our case he started demanding high fee as he is a SUPREME COURT LAWYER. That is why the amount is bigger than before. I know those who has donated for the previous lawyer do not like this but believe me we are more upset and our case which is very dangerous that even lawyers feels uncomfortable and no organization has helped us that is why we have to do all this alon.

2- Fee receipt of the lawyer is attached but this time I am being more careful. But still we have to collect donations. Do donate any amount you can and if you have already donated than please tell your friends to donate.

3- 22 July is the date of petition filed by our lawyer in High Court. We hope that our FIR ( first information report) will be quashed (cancelled) by the high court judge because it was filed illegal because an individual cannot lodge the blasphemy FIR. A senior officer is supposed to be the plantiff in the blasphemy case and before lodging it he has to investigate the case properly.

4 - As you know that two brothers from Faisalabad having same case i.e. Blasphemy case were shot dead yesterday in Faisalabad - Pakistan and no Police Officer did anything in fact they supported the killer in shooting the victims. Because the killer was only one guy and Police men were many in number but still those two brothers were killed. The reason to tell you this is Hector Aleem is arrested in that false blasphemy case and this case is the most dangerous case in Pakistan. A person can be killed by anyone anytime. So please pray for Hector Aleem's safety and also do write to Pakistani Government for his safety.

5 - Finally please donate any amount you can, because hopefully this maybe the last time we are collecting donation for Hector Aleem. Please pray for the quashment (Cancellation) of the FIR. You can donate through any way, you can either donate through pay pal or through western union. If you wanna donate through pay pal then follow the link given below and if you can donate through western union then contact Mehwish Aleem (in the group admin).

*** HECTOR ALEEM'S MAY 19 HEARING ***

*** MAY 19 HEARING ***

Folks,

Yesterday, another one of Hector Aleem’s hearings took place. Because Facebook is temporarily banned in Pakistan, Mehwish Aleem, Hector’s daughter, e-mailed me and asked that I distribute this message to all members:

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

“The [prosecuting] Lawyer of Sunni Tehreek has still not arrived from Umrah, that’s why his junior lawyer came for the hearing. Daddy was also there, we saw him but we were not able to talk to him because we were in burqas (for security purpose). The junior lawyer started with the sentence: "I can't tolerate to see this blasphemer standing in front of me; I really want to kill him with my own hands" Judge was there but he didn't say anything to stop him from using that kind of language.

“Our lawyer and Sunni Tehreek's junior lawyer debated (I don’t know the legal word of debate in court language) for one hour and their lawyer was continuously saying that Hector Aleem should be punished or else we will do our own justice. Daddy and lawyer were saying that the real culprit has been caught and legally I should be free from this case but the lawyer of Sunni Tehreek was not trying to listen anything. He gathered many other lawyers from the lawyers bar and they were all in favor of Sunni Tehreek and they chanted slogans against daddy and Christianity. As the lawyer of Sunni Tehreek isn't here so judge gave another date of hearing i.e 27 May 2010.

“After that we went to the lawyer's chamber, there lots of media or maybe people from some news agencies were waiting for the lawyer. So he hid us in his chamber after 3 hours we left his chamber when everybody was gone. In fact YESTERDAY WAS A HORRIBLE DAY.

“Tell people to pray for us and write to our government and other officials to have mercy on us and free my father.

“This was the situation of yesterday. but one important thing Facebook is banned in Pakistan for unknown days due to the 20th May… as we can’t visit Facebook for some days so you have to post this mail there and tell everybody that we can’t visit for few days. And i will inform you about [the May 27 hearing] too.”

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

*** DONATION STATUS ***

To date our generous donors have raised approximately 115,000 Rupees (approx $1,350 USD). Below is a scan of the lawyer’s receipt for 90,000 Rupees.

Last week, I sent the Aleems the remaining amount (sent by members through PayPal donations), and a receipt will be posted soon.

We are still $1,150 short, so any donation would be wonderful. We have had donations as small as $5. Anything helps!
