<b>Four Jamaâat-ud-Daâawa activists released in PoK </b>
Authorities in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) have released four detained workers of the Jamaâat-ud-Daâawa (JuD) and have also withdrawn Police guards from the residence of the groupâs regional head, Dawn reported. Chaudhry Imtiaz, Deputy Commissioner of Muzaffarabad, the PoK capital, told Dawn on December 14 that Police guards had been removed from the residence of Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi but he had been asked not to leave the area without informing the administration. Maulana Alvi, who heads the PoK chapter of Jamaâat-ud-Daâawa, was put under house arrest in his Karyan village, some 19 kilometers north of Muzaffarabad, on December 11. "He had been placed under house arrest for security reasons. He is still under surveillance and cannot leave the station without prior intimation to the authorities concerned," the Deputy Commissioner (DC) said. Similarly, the DC said, four people taken into custody from a mechanical workshop run by the Jamaâat-ud-Daâawa in Muzaffarabad had also been released because they were merely mechanics. In response to a question, he said there were no instructions from the federal Government to detain the regional or second-line leadership of the JuD. They were concerned about the âtop brassâ and not the regional leadership, he said.
Meanwhile, security agencies continued the crackdown against Jamaâat-ud-Daâawa and arrested 12 workers and sealed its assets in different parts of the NWFP. JuD provincial spokesman Atiq ur Rehman Chohan told Dawn by phone that 12 workers, including Mardan District chief Murad Khan, were arrested on December 13. Chohan while accusing state agencies of torturing JuD workers said that similar raids were also conducted in Abbottabad District and innocent people had been detained. He said that Police had confiscated four motor cycles in Abbottabad main office. In Peshawar, he said Police had sealed Al Dawa Model School in Tehkal area on December 13 which was illegal. "Sealing Dawaâs schools, hospitals and ambulance service will affect only common people and 25,000 workers across the country," he said.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
