Hector's Message on Tolerance Day

In 1996, the UN General Assembly (by resolution 51/95) invited UN Member States to observe the International Day for Tolerance on 16 November, with activities directed towards both educational establishments and the wider public.

This action followed on the United Nations Year for Tolerance, 1995, proclaimed by the UN General Assembly in 1993 at the initiative of UNESCO, as outlined in the Declaration of Principles on Tolerance and Follow-up Plan of Action for the Year.

The 2005 World Summit Outcome document (A/RES/60/1) furthered the commitment of Heads of State and Government to advance human welfare, freedom and progress everywhere, as well as to encourage tolerance, respect, dialogue and cooperation among different cultures, civilizations and peoples. 

This day is very important because there is intolerance everywhere. Almost every human being on this planet is carrying intolerance in his/her mind and that intolerance often takes the form of violence and other hate crimes. This day is not observed much like other international Observance days because people are not tolerant to anything they don’t like.

There are two main reasons why people are intolerant to each other i.e. “Religion” and “Race”. We must all understand that we are same human beings no matter what our color of skin is. Racial intolerance was the reason behind World War 2 which destroyed the lives of millions around the globe.

Religious intolerance on the other hand is growing even more than racial intolerance. Almost every country on this planet is in the grip of religious intolerance. There are religious extremist organizations which are responsible for many terrorist attacks across the planet. There is no religion which teaches any person to hate. There is one common message in all religions which is “love”.

So it’s better to put the differences aside and look what is common in us. We are all same and are equal to each other no matter what our race, culture, religion or language is. We must understand that we are human beings and we must tolerate each other in order to live with peace and harmony. Tolerance is the one which separates human beings from animals. There is no tolerance in animals, but we are different and we can tolerate each other.

As we all face the complex and global challenges of our times, Peace Worldwide will continue to work for the mutual understanding among people and countries. Tolerate each other, not only for yourselves but for your coming generations.

Update About Hector Aleem (18th August 2011)

Dear friends

It has been a long time since I wrote you. I have not updated you about the recent situation of Hector Aleem Chairman Peace Worldwide because there are summer vacations of all courts in Pakistan and the month of Ramzan has also started. Working timings during these days are 8 to 12 and people barely do any work during these timings. The courts will open after 15 September.

Dear friends three months have passed since Hector’s acquittal from the blasphemy case but the lawyer is waiting for the fees for these cases. As you know that my father has been trapped in all these non bail able cases only to keep him in the jail. I have now decided to run another donation campaign for the rest of the cases. I want you guys to donate at least $20 each; those who are able to pay more can pay more. We will be highly obliged. Your help has led us to the acquittal of blasphemy case and now we are hoping for your help. We need $2000. I am not asking anything for us, I am requesting for my father because he is in jail for three years and we cannot collect that much amount for the lawyer’s fee.

Update About Hector Aleem 11 June, 2011

Dear Friends,

As you all know that Our Father Hector Aleem has been acquitted from that blasphemy case and now it has been proved that this case was false and was lodged due to that Church he was fighting for. The judge acquitted that case due to lack of evidence; in fact there was no evidence at all. Hector Aleem is still in jail because there were other cases on him which were lodged after that blasphemy case while he was still in jail to prevent him from getting out of the jail. Now all the other cases which are four in number are also baseless just like that blasphemy case. And there is no evidence in all those cases. Of all cases lodged on Hector Aleem (including that blasphemy case) there is no evidence against him. This is not the end of our struggle because only that blasphemy case is finished and other four cases are here. We still need your moral and practical support and we also need your prayers. We still got to pay the fees to the lawyer, now he proved himself that he is the best lawyer here and he is also very confident about other cases but he is asking for his fee. And there are some things we got to provide to daddy in the jail. So it would be very much appreciated if you help us till we get out of this situation. Also please donate for the lawyer’s fee and things that are needed to be provided to Hector Aleem in jail.

God Bless You All

News posted in the Pakistani news paper about Chairman Peace Worldwide Hector Aleem.

Here is the TRANSLATION:

"Additional District and Session Judge Mr. Sarfaraz Akhter took a strict notice on those who lodged a false blasphemy case. He ordered the CPO Rawalpinidi to investigate about the case and also ordered to take a strict action against those who gave false testimonies i.e. Sub - Inspector Zafar Iqbal, Mir Abdullah, Riaz, Constable Muhammad Asif, Muhammad Akram, and the complainant Tahir Iqbal Chisti. He ordered to take severe action on them and also ordered strictly to the Secretary Prosecution Punjab to take action on District Public Prosecution who passed the Challan of this false and poor investigation case. The lawyer of the accused Hector Aleem and others Mr. Ghufran Khurshid Imtiazi provided the Court Orders to the CPO to take action. A case of Disrespecting the accused will also be lodged. Court dropped the Charges on three of the Accused."


COURT ORDERS:

Federal Government ignored the orders of judge and did not take any action against Complainant, Prosecution or police officers. Now who is responsible for all the hardships Hector Aleem and his family had to face? his family was displaced, his home and offices were destroyed, his family was tortured, who is responsible for all this? 

Charges of Blasphemy on Hector Aleem are now dropped

Greetings dear friends

Good news, the blasphemy charges have been dropped. the judge acquitted daddy and I didn't know that this judge will acquit him because this is the lower court and normally the lower court doesn't acquit the blasphemy victims. well the judge ordered to take strict actions against the investigation officer and the prosecution. as soon as I get the copy of the decision I will post it to you because I, myself don't know the whole order but I know that the judge said that the Charges on daddy are now dropped and he is acquitted from that case and he also ordered the higher officials of the Police to take strict action against the Investigation Officer (Who investigated Daddy's Case). BUT there are other minor cases left which are four in number. But they will also be finished because the main case is over now and its good that daddy is still in jail for his protection because the news of acquittal will make the mullahs crazy that is why the judge announced the decision on 6:45 PM the time of the court is till 4. the judge did it for security purpose.waiting for some other good news!!!
The bad times are at the end and will be finished soon but we all still need your help.

Update about the final arguments of Hector's case

Greetings friends

yesterday was daddy's hearing, and it went very good. the judge asked some logical questions to the lawyer of plaintiffs and he was unable to give answers to those questions than he started to point out dad personally, he was mentioning and in my opinion that goes in our favor. the argument is not finished yet and our lawyer will have to argue on 31st of May. I cannot give you more details about that conversation because of security issues. but dont worry I will tell you guys each and every detail. please all of you, pray for daddy and his health and also for the positive result of trail. many thanks to those who have already helped us. and those who can help us please help us morally and practically.
