Gulalai Parents: Financing Terrorism and Security Men

gulalai parents: The security men eventually left after nearly an hour, according to CTV. I told them you have weapons in your hands and no uniform -- I won't come out, said Ismail's father, Mohammad, a retired professor living in the capital of Islamabad. Gulalai Ismail's elderly parents said they were ordered to come outside just to talk, but refused. Raids like this are part of an expanding push by Pakistan's security services to crack down on anyone who voices criticism of their activities. They deny the charges and are currently out on bail but have been ordered not to leave Pakistan. Gulalai Ismail's parents are facing charges of financing terrorism, allegedly for funneling money from their daughter toward terrorist activities. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
