Run for your life: Day 11 of life underground

LPP underground diary 2007

On 14th November, around 4.45pm, I had just got off a public bus and went to a net café. The owner told me that speed is very low and there is no use of sitting here. I went to another one, not far from the first place, the same answer. I came back to the main road to fetch a bus or take a rickshaw; I had not made up my mind where to go from here.

Pakistan: Escaped by seconds - the fourth day of life underground

Author: 
Farooq Tariq

On the third day of my underground period, I escaped an arrest by seconds. It was all because of living in a society that is full of high-tech techniques for finding a person.
