Iran: Case against three for illegal bird hunting

Case against three for illegal bird hunting – Newspaper – DAWN.COM

Suspects Ghulam Muhammad Khan Sehar, Sajid Khan Sehar and Mohiuddin Khan Sehar, all belonging to an influential political family, were named in a first information report.

The wildlife officials found bird sounds on a loudspeaker, illegal weapons, and slaughtered wild ducks (murghabi) at the crime scene at Patan Shinwala on the River Indus.

Wildlife official Imtiaz Hussain reported that during the raid, the suspects fired at him and, at gunpoint, seized all birds before fleeing the scene.

Officials stated the several poachers were involved in the hunting of migratory birds at Taunsa Barrage on the Indus too. Despite frequent complaints from local residents about illegal hunting, the wildlife department has failed to take action.

Senior member Malik Khadim Hussain of Sindho Bachao Tarla, a civil society working with local communities, alleged when poachers were caught, the department often dealt leniently, registering nominal cases where fines were paid, allowing the accused to be released.
