DALLAS: The
Executive Director of Bill of Rights Defense Committee and a prominent
civil rights and human rights activist Shahid Buttar has claimed that US
State machineries including secret agencies, CIA, NSA and
administration are involved in suppression of civil rights in the
country.
“As US citizens we should stay engaged with our representatives, Congressmen and Senators to remind them to act in public interest and to protect our civil liberties and human rights.”
Shahid Buttar was talking to attendees of a meeting of several Dallas Fort Worth Human Rights activists, at the residence of American Muslim Democratic Caucus Co-Chairman Syed Fayyaz Hassan.
Buttar said that CIA and NSA senior officials mislead and lie to Congress. The recent episode where CIA officials lied to Senate Intelligence Committee in investigations of spying on civilians is one in a chain of deception and manipulation which is going on for a long time.
He said a number of stories have come out over time which later were proven to be correct. Even Obama administration is kept in dark over some issues and even top level reports don't include their activities, he claimed.
“Senator Feinstein was correctly been annoyed from CIA's impeding her committee's investigations into civilian's spying programs.”
He said these actions are truly violations of constitution and Bill of Rights.
A local civil liberties activist and President of "Mothers against Police Brutalities (MAPD)" Mrs. Collette Flanagan also addressed the meeting where she said that that recent trends in Dallas Fort Worth are taking the society into a police state.
She said that a large number of Police officers need psychological attention as their behaviors are not conducive to our society. She informed the group on procedures of police retention does not require any drug testing. So an officer goes through drug testing only during hiring which is beyond logic.
Addressing the group, she said that she has lost her son to police brutality where his 25-year-old son was brutally killed by police officers without any reason. Her son was unarmed and was not resisting any officer. She said that she has formed the group so that no mother looses her child against the brutality of armed policemen.
Among present on this event were Muslim Democratic Caucus Texas President Aftab Siddiqui, South Asia Democracy Watch Directors, Raja Zahid Khanzada, Raja Muzaffar Kashmiri, Asif Effendi, Siraj Butt, Ghulam Nabi, Muslim Community Center's Chairman Dr. Basheer Ahmad, local leader Mr. Lateef and Shahnaz Lateef, and Dallas Peace Center's Hadi Jawwad, who introduced Mr. Buttar and Mrs. Flanagan.
