About me and my blog

 My name is Waleed Gul and I am the student of Department of Communication & Media Studies, Hazara University. According to me we are the responsible members, being future journalists we are the eyes and ears of the society. The theme which i have choose moved me a lot to think about this particular issue: torture i have built my blog titled stop torture it is a crime. In our society as you all know torture is present in its variant forms; it may be socially, ethically or morally. Sometimes we are also involved in it directly or indirectly. Being Muslim, we have to fulfill all the responsibilities which are given to us by the Lord (ALLAH).  In Islam torture is forbidden and every one who believes in Allah have to follow the ethical rules and regulations. We the Muslim  need not to do any act which is against the teachings and basic principles of islam.

This blog will assist you to understand what does the term torture means? what are the effects of torture on our society? torture in the light of islam? torture in the light of human rights? torture across globe? torture in Pakistan  and news and views about torture in Pakistan?
