Press Release

A Delegation from Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Yemen Delivers Letter to the Pakistani Embassy amid Campaign Launched by the Hizb titled

“Free Naveed Butt Immediately”

(Translated)

On Tuesday 1/4/2014 CE, a delegation from Hizb ut Tahrir / Wilayah Yemen, presided by the Engineer Nasser Wahan al-Lahabi, member of the Hizb ut Tahrir, delivered a letter to the Pakistani embassy as part of the worldwide campaign launched by the Hizb titled: “Free Naveed Butt.” The delegation met with the Pakistani charge de ’affairs Mr. Khalif Hussein Khan Qudaru.

He was given the responsibility of transferring the letter issued by the Hizb in Wilayah Pakistan in a leaflet titled:

﴿وَمَا نَقَمُوا مِنْهُمْ إِلاَّ أَن يُؤْمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَمِيدِ﴾

“And they resented them only because they believed in Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Praiseworthy.” [Al-Buruj: 8]

to the ruler of his country, who kidnapped the Official Spokesman of the Hizb in Wilayah Pakistan almost two years ago. His location is unknown to this day, nor was he brought to trial or charged with other than saying “Allah is my Lord”, and working for the Righteous Khilafah on the method of the Prophethood, that will unite the Muslims. He was a speaker of truth and a professor of Khair, who uncovered the plots that the West and its agents weave against the land and its people.

The following was contained in the leaflet that was presented as a letter and delivered to the charge de ’affairs:

“Naveed Butt, the well known and widely respected Official Spokesman for Hizb ut Tahrir in the Wilayah of Pakistan, continues to be held in abduction by the thugs of the regime, since he was first seized on 11 May 2012, almost two years ago. Naveed’s tireless exposure of the colonialist conspiracies against the Muslims and clear presentation of how the ruling by the Deen of Islam will provide Khair for the Muslim World and beyond it, was greatly resented by traitors within the political and military leadership. So these tyrants mobilized to silence Naveed, in blind obedience to the policies of their colonialist masters, who fight the call for the Khilafah wherever it is likely to arise, from Syria to Uzbekistan. Thus, these oppressors added to their many crimes against Islam, by chasing Naveed here and there, until their thugs seized him before the eyes of his small children. And until today, not only do they confine Naveed to their dungeons, they undertake a campaign of persecution against the shabaab of Hizb ut Tahrir. Indeed, the extent of their resentment is such that they send their thugs to chase after the shabaab, wherever they stand to address the people by speech or by the distribution of leaflets, even if it were for a little while!”

The charge de ‘affairs expressed his willingness to communicate the letter to his government, which is drowned in treason to the point of drunkenness, and stubbornly continues its oppression to serve the interests of their masters from the West, particularly America, by imprisoning the sincere workers from the shabab of Hizb ut Tahrir.
