    Five young Americans who have appeared in a Pakistan court have claimed torture while in detention.
    Five young Americans who have appeared in a Pakistan court have claimed torture while in detention.

    The men were arrested in Pakistan on suspicion of trying to join militant Islamist groups.

    Pakistani police have insisted the men have not been mistreated and had never made any such allegations before they were taken to the courtroom on Monday.

    While outside the court, the five shouted to assembled media in English that they were being mistreated.

    The young Americans are between the ages of 19 and 25 and are being held in Lahore, the capital of Punjab province.

    They were arrested at the home of a leader of the banned militant group Jaish-e-Muhammad in December.

    Pakistani police have alleged the men travelled to Pakistan to join a holy war and had confessed to having plans to travel to the Taliban stronghold in North Waziristan.

    The arrested men are from the Washington area and are of Pakistani, Yemeni, Eritrean and Egyptian origin.

    this terrorist really coward, when they terrorized the innocent they look so brave! but when they caught by strong army and being tortured, suddendly they cried like baby. this is what happened to uyghur muslims terrorist in china and also rohingya terrorist muslims in myanmar. first they tried to rebels and bombing bus and goverment office. the army react and caught them and torture them to confessed their associates and family they pee in their pants and forget their Allah and confessed everything. then the army caught the family and put them all in jail since it is immposible their family do not know their son’s or daughter’s activity, and those terrorist suddendly disappear for goods. the key, terror only can be defeated with more cruel terror, it is proven in china, myanmar and vietnam. the terrorist only have one sentences, DEATH AND THEIR FAMILY WILL BE PROSECUTED TOO, THE RESULT? NO MORE MUSLIMS TERRORIST!

    Good - Let them whine. Kick them for me - slap their faces with a shoe for my brother, dirty underwear for my mother, and so on. These freaks deserve all the torture they can be dealt. Cowardly bullies who target innocent people in their quest to be the first to claim their virgins in the afterlife, spineless morons who squeal like pigs when they are caught. Seems like moslem terrorists are always being tortured when they are apprehended by anyone. What about what they do to people in this life. Shoot them.

    Rohingya are not Terrorists

    Hi the people of the world, Pls take note and try to understand that Rohingya Muslims from Burma are neither terrorists nor look like terrorists...They are Muslim but they are backward with everything such as education, freedom of movement, fredom of expression and worshiping as well....which does not allow to be in place of terrorist just they seek help from us all and peace loving people...So, Pls don’t misunderstand Rohingya....They are not terrorist...
