Lal Masjid wilts under pressure

July 05, 2007
Meanwhile, Aziz, in an interview, asked the students to escape if they can or surrender if they can't.

In the television interview, Aziz was clad in the same burqa that he had used to try and hoodwink the security forces. The move was seen as a State ploy to humiliate him.

He admitted that his wife, who is the principal of Jamia Hafsa and other teachers, did not let the female students go out.
