Nazir Abbasi & Brigadier (R) Imtiaz: The Cold War Warrior

Nazir Abbasi was the most courageous and bold Sindhi student leaders who was killed by Zia-ul Haq’s brutal ISI. Then colonel Imtiaz (and later Brigadier) tortured him and his cruel ISI subordinates the likes of who continue to hunt Sindhis and Baluch even today. During the months of July and August, many in Sindh are celebrating sacrifice of Shaheed Nazir Abbasi as he was last arrested on July 30, 1980 by spy agency, who tortured him, until he died on August 9, 1989. An excellent write-up on him in Sindhi by Hasan Mujtab is accessible at the following link: http://www.scribd.com/doc/13595152/shahid-nazir-abbasi - Nazir Abbasi – A legendary Hero of Sindh by: Khalid Hashmani, McLean, Virginia, USA http://iaoj.wordpress.com/2009/08/01/nazi-abbasi-a-legendary-hero-of-sindh/

KARACHI: Widow of Nazir Abbasi, Hamida Ghangro, has demanded that her husband’s killers should be taken to task. Addressing a press conference at the Karachi Press Club on Sunday, she said her husband Nazir Abbasi was arrested in August 1980 and was killed on August 9, 1980 after being brutally tortured in the alleged custody of Brigadier Imtiaz. Professor Jamal Naqvi and Kamal Warsi, who were arrested at that time along with Nazir Abbasi, also accompanied her. She said on her appeal an investigation was initiated against Brigadier Imtiaz in the tenure of Benazir Bhutto’s government but when the government was toppled the probe was also put on the back burner. She claimed Brigadier Imtiaz had killed her husband in custody. She also alleged that government officials had accepted that Nazir Abbasi was killed during custody.

‘We have all documentary proofs,’ she said, demanding the government to arrest and try Brigadier Imtiaz before a court of law. She also demanded Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry to take suo motu action in this regard. She said the case was filed on August 17, 1980, while the trial was halted after some hearings. An FIR of the case was also lodged and it is the police’s responsibility to investigate into the matter, she maintained. REFERENCE: Nazir Abbasi’s widow demands Brig.
