Two SSP men get six years in prison for distributing hate material
[DAWN] FAISALABAD: An Anti-Terrorism Court in Faisalabad...formerly known as Lyallpur, the third largest metropolis in Pakistain, the second largest in Punjab after Lahore. It is named after some Arab because the Paks didn't have anybody notable of their own to name it after... sentenced two activists of banned Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistain ...a Sunni Deobandi organization, a formerly registered Pak political party, established in the early 1980s in Jhang by Maulana Haq Nawaz Jhangvi. Its stated goal is to oppose Shia influence in Pakistain. They're not too big on Brelvis, either. Or Christians. Or anybody else who's not them. The organization was bannedin 2002 as a terrorist organization, but somehow it keeps ticking along, piling up the corpse counts... (SSP) to six years imprisonment along with a Rs0.1 million fine each for possessing and distributing hate material. The SSP men, namely Amir Sher Mohammad and Ramzan Abdul Salam, were booked in October after a citizen approached police with the complaint that he saw the two convicts distributing hate material while displaying banners, flags and badges of the banned sectarian organization. In the First Information Report (FIR) registered against the duo, the complainant states that he himself saw both Amir and Ramzan displaying banners and flags of the banned SSP on their stall and distributing hate material against the Shia sect, during the International Khatm-e-Nabuwat Conference. Both the SSP activists belong to Chiniot district while the Khatm-e-Nabuwat Conference was held in Chenab Nagar on October 31. The case was registered under Anti-Terrorism Act.
