Afzal used to work at a textile mill
Muhammad Afzal used to work at a textile mill in Pakistan. Once he was told by Muhammad Arshad that he could change his days for the better by going to Saudi Arabia.
Arshad claimed to be an overseas employment agent and would readily help Afzal with all the tasks. Happy over the unrealistic future dreams, Afzal decided to leave for Saudi Arabia.
He was caught with drugs
He went to Saudi Arabia in 2005 and had no contact with his family after landing. After four months, he called Razia (wife) informing her that he was in jail and was charged with drug trafficking.
Afzal has been sentenced to death
Afzal was given a death sentence over drug trafficking on the 24th of April 2009. Afzal tends to call every day and inform them that he is still alive. The days he does not call haunt the family with the fear that he has been executed.
What went wrong with Afzal?
According to Afzal, he was then given an injection which made him drowsy and weak. He was then forced to swallow capsules full of heroin. They threatened to kill his family if he does not cooperate.
He was dropped at the airport and as soon as he landed in Saudi Arabia, he was caught and jailed.
The family of Afzal
Razia is now living in a simple brick house with her brother. All she had has been sold out to meet the ends.
She says she fears the execution of Afzal as more and more Pakistanis are being executed these days. Saudi Authorities themselves decide when to execute a prisoner and do not even inform the family.
Lesson from the story
Never take anything from anyone while traveling abroad. God forbids, if you are caught with something, only you will bear the consequences.
