Fahim's Family Reaction Against The Release Of Davis


The family members of Shumaila Kanwal, the widow of Muhammad Faheem who committed suicide, have threatened to end their lives in Lahore as a protest against the release of killer Raymond Davis.
Muhammad Afzal, the uncle of Shumaila, while talking to a reporter Wednesday lamented that there was no law in the country. He alleged that both federal and provincial governments had manoeuvred to secure the release of Davis.
“We never demanded Diyat. We want blood for blood,” he said. He said first Shumaila sacrificed her life and now we would commit collective suicide at the same spot where Faheem was shot dead by Davis in Lahore to mark our protest. He said his family was not provided justice.
He denied that his family had reached any blood money deal.
“We did not accept any money nor did we pardon American killer,” he said adding that “we people are not for sale, we want blood for blood”.
He said since the day one of the incident, both the federal and provincial governments were trying to release Davis but they could not do so, fearing a severe backlash from the public. But in the end, the government bowed down to the US pressure, he said adding that “our rulers are slaves of America.”
Meanwhile, police on late Wednesday night have arrested Shumaila Kanwal’s disabled mother, her sister, uncles and other relatives after they collectively announced to commit suicide against the release of Raymond Davis.
Police conducted a raid at the residences of Shumaila’s relatives at Chak Jhumra and arrested them. Later, police shifted them to an unknown place. The family members of Shumaila announced to commit suicide at the spot where two citizens were shot dead by Raymond Davis after which police had arrested them.
Muhammad Afzal, uncle of Shumaila, before their arrest while talking said after the release of Raymond David it was proved that there was no rule of law prevailing in the country. He alleged that the rulers and provincial law minister forcibly made the release of Davis.
