Mukhtaran Bibi update

Mukhtaran Bibi, the Pakistani human rights activist and educator, is still not free to travel. Yesterday, the government agreed, amid mounting international pressure, to remove Mukhtaran from Pakistan's "no exit list."

Tom Watson posted this update at 8:20 am:

And now, I'm getting email updates from inside Pakistan - where, unfortunately, the news is not good. Despite a soothing statement from the U.S. State Department and one from the Pakistani government, Mukhtaran Mai is not free to travel as of this morning. The liberal Pakistani Daily Times reports that although this hero for our times has has been taken off the government's do not travel list, her passport has been confiscated. Here are the details, and it's clear that we must continue to press this case. So please. continue to use the email addresses of the Pakistani U.S. embassy staff, please write members of Congress and the President (politely, Fitz and Alva), and by all means, get as many blogs as possible involved in this. Other than Nick Kristoff, this case has been largely ignored by the pontificating piehole class, and that needs to change.

Later in Tom's post, I learned that by referring to Mukhtaran as "Ms. Bibi", I'd been calling her something that translates as "miss Miss" in Urdu. I'll keep that in mind when I send my next batch of emails to the Pakistani officials on her behalf.

Tom has assembled the email addresses of Pakistani officials to contact here.
