Diary of a little Pakistani Christian refugee girl in Sri Lanka
Diary
of a Pakistani refugee child in Sri Lanka
UNHCR
gave us a letter of failure and we were all scared to death. What if we are
sent back to Pakistan we will be killed. My mother’s Pashtun family would never
let us live. Pakistan army Generals against whom my sister had written would
not let us live.
My
sister started looking for a lawyer so that he can help us with our appeal
against the decision of UNHCR. We found a lawyer; he came to our house in a
very good mood and went very angry after seeing my sister’s website.
We
started receiving wrong calls. We were followed. My sister said now I am
exposed. She started writing with her real name.
We
went to women in need center and asked for protection they agreed. When they
spoke to UNHCR Colombo staff they refused to accept us and we returned to our
rented home with a lot of fear.
On
Saturday 15 some immigration officers came to our house. They were forcing us
to open the door. They were banging and kicking on the door. They had no female
officer with them. We were very scared and left the house by jumping in to the
next building house. It was very risky as we were on the 2nd floor.
chulananda prera Head of Immigration Department
We
went to Kandy and stayed there for few days. We called UNHCR and asked them to
help us. UNHCR staff said “does not do a drama come back to your house. You are
protected by UNHCR immigration cannot harm you”.
We
came back to our house and we were arrested right in front of our house.
People
who 1st attacked us were not immigration officers or police men.
They were taxi drivers they held us tight and many passersby also helped them.
My sister fell down many people were holding and touching her, someone snatched
her heavy gold chain.
Officers
arrived very late and were very happy on our arrest.
Police station in Colombo
They
took us to nearby Dahiwala police station. The head of the immigration staff Amit entered
the police station and was forcing the police high officials to accept
us in the jail but they plainly refused and told them that we cannot be
accepted in the jails as we were not criminals but asylum seekers.
I asked him for how
long he will keep us in the jail he answered with a very furious face 40 years.
My mother said please for God sake he said there is no God here.
We
were brought to Mirahina detention camp.
There were many people detained there they
were surprised at our arrest and detention as we were registered Asylum seekers
with UNHCR and had no male family member with us. Mr Amit took our passports by
force and went away.
Next day we went to the small office of
immigration staff in the Detention camp. The officer present there was not very
sure why we were in the detention camp. On our request he started calling
different numbers to find out the reason of our arrest. After calling many
numbers and after a detailed conversation he told us very comfortably while
stretching in his seat
He put his one finger on the other and said,
“Your case is between
ISI and SIS. ISI head contacted SIS head to investigate about you. Your house
is sealed you will be presented to the court and you will be deported to
Pakistan”
Head of ISI Zahir ul Islam
Inoticed that my sister was very
scared she told my mother they will kill us.
Afer that she started calling UNHCR
office she cried many times and asked them to help us. She told my mother UNHCR
staff is under pressure from their Pakistan friendly Government they will not
help us.
My sister kept calling Human rights
groups and journalists no body helped us. Every day my sister looked as if she
will die.

hospital colombo
One morning she had pain in her chest.
She had a heart attack. She was taken to the hospital I accompanied her. Our
mother was not allowed to come to the hospital. We spent few days in the
hospital.
A doctor told my
sister that Government authorities had advised them to discharge us as soon as
possible because we were spies of India.
In the hospital my sister kept crying.
We were guarded by armed police men and women day and night.
My sister was still very sick when she
was discharged from the hospital. From the hospital we were taken to a horrible
looking jail. Our name was enlisted there.
They planned to shift us from detention
camp to the jail.
Now it was clear that Sri Lankan
authorities were doing as told by Pakistan security forces against whom my
sister had written.
Sri Lankan authorities acted criminally and
UNHCR was scared of their Government and was hiding. We decided to flee from
the detention camp.
It was Monday 8th April 201,
when we left the detention camp early in the morning.
Our Sufferings were not over it was a start of another horrible period hiding in Sri Lanka when special forces were looking for us. We were bleeding and UNHCR was hiding. There was no one in UNHCR who could say no to the Pakistan friendly Government of President Mahinda Rajapaksa.

We are recognized refugees by UNHCR yet Sri Lanka still withholds our passports. I am very scared. I don’ go to
School. I tremble with fear. I am very tired of hiding and life on the run. I
am dying.
Please Sri Lankan
Authorities return our passports Please let us leave your country
with safety. Your children are free and happy because they have powerful fathers like you. I don't have a father. Please let me live with my mother and sister in Peace.
