Letter from Haripur jail, Pakistan
by Zubeida Mustafa
Zubeida Mustafa’s article is the story of Sohail Fida a prisoner in Haripur jail of Pakistan. Sohail Fida who had been falsely indicted in the charges of murder and was made to confess through torture when he was only 18 fought with the circumstances and he even wrote a book, “Soul Unshackled” when in prison. The author further writes, “What makes this story special is not so much Sohail’s success in his exams as his extraordinary response to his adverse circumstances from April 2000 onwards. As he put it in his letter, “People say you are what your surroundings make you … but I would say your surroundings are how you see them”. Sohail went further and changed his circumstances.”
