Dungeons of Torture for Muslims
News
Tanzania media outlets reported on Opposition Party’s (Chadema) statement that suspects of cyber offence were being dealt with in Police chambers of torture under special unit established to deal with terrorism.
Comment
The statement made clear that credible information is available to prove on existence of torture dungeon in the city, and Police Terrorist Unit mandate had been expanded to cover cyber crime.
Torturing of Muslim detainees suspected of terrorism is a long time reality and its outcry have been voiced several times, so the statement simply came to strengthen the existing truth of oppression and humiliation that Muslim detainees have been suffering and facing for a while from state apparatuses.
For six months up to end of November 2016 there were total of 142 cyber crime suspects arrested in various places associated with the social media. While the number of terrorist suspects had risen up to many hundreds if not thousands. This scenario vividly expresses that Muslims are the largest victims of the mentioned cell of torture and harassment. In a wider perspective, it can be concluded that these cells are located and available in several areas since terrorist suspects are detained in various regions.
On the other hand, the Cyber Crime Act is a new law unlike Terrorist Act which is older. This means, by implication that the mentioned torture dungeons have existed earlier before the Cyber Crime Act for torturing Muslims detainees.
From the above reality and in circumstantial angle, Muslims have every reason to receive negatively the finding of seven bodies wrapped in plastic bags, fished out of River Ruvu which then were buried in a very haste manner.
Since the Capitalist ideology indulges in a peak of injustice by rejecting the system and law of the Creator, any kind of oppression and injustice is inevitable. Humanity needs just and fair ideology of Islam to save itself from current chaos in all aspects.
