NOREEN KHAN NIAZI, an ailing, elderly mother and grandmother, has been taken back to Kot Lakhpat Jail under heavy police escort. At an age when she should be surrounded by her children and grandchildren, enjoying the little comforts of family life, she is behind bars. So are members of her family including brother, son, sisters & cousin. A family that should be sitting together, looking after one another, is instead separated by prison walls. A sick mother cannot find comfort in her children’s arms. Her children cannot sit beside her, hold her hand, or even reassure themselves that their mother is alright. I cannot imagine the pain of a mother knowing her children are suffering and being helpless to comfort them. Or the anguish of children knowing their mother is unwell and being unable to care for her. There is nothing brave, powerful, or honourable about making an elderly mother suffer and tearing a family apart. It is heartless. It is vindictive. And it is utterly shameful. #قوم_کی_بیٹیوں_کو_رہا_کرو #شوکت_خانم_کی_شیر_اولاد #NoreenKhanHealthEmergency
