| Pak Cops "Find" Rizvi, Book Him |
| 2004-01-26 |
| Police on Sunday confirmed that a Pakistani reporter held in December while working with two French journalists had been charged with anti-state activity. He’s the guy they denied having last week. "Three people have been arrested including Khawar Mehndi Rizvi for anti-state activity," police chief of the south-western Baluchistan province Shoaib Suddle said. Suddle identified the other two detained in the provincial capital Quetta as Allah Noor and Abdullah Shakir. Rizvi was engaged by the French journalists and "he in collaboration with the other Noor and Shakir arranged a fake video on Taliban training in Pakistan and tried to defame the country," the provincial police chief said. He said they had been charged over "criminal conspiracy and anti-state activity." The crime is punishable by life imprisonment. Imagine how long a sentence you’d get if you tried to bump off their president. |
