'Marriage arranger's
face blackened
CHITRAL 22 Oct 08: Makhmoor Khan of
Bakarabad village Chitral town area, was paraded in Chitral bazar with
his face blackened on Tuesday by activists of a local organisation
'Anjuman Dawat Azeemat' (Invitation to virtue), working in Chitral for
many years. Makhmoor is accused of being a habitual commission agent in
human trafficking, in the garb of arranging marriages of young Chitrali girls
of poor and hard pressed families to unsuitable outsiders who are at times octogenarians, without ascertaining
their credentials, often leading to ruination of the girls life. Police
arrested two members of the society which enjoys good reputation in the
public for fighting against human trafficking in the name of marriage.
Students joined by local shopkeepers and civil society members protested
outside the police station for release of the arrested students namely
Muhammad Karim and Farooq Khan. --(CN report)
