Even if some remarkable people who crossed your life will inhabit your spirit for the rest of your existence, with the time going on, remembrances of places visited are inexorably fading. That’s the reason why I would like to present the unusual relation I got with Pakistan. Almost one year after I came back from a summer trip in this country, it unsuspectedly invaded my life for already ten months. It is such an intense experience that it may replace all other impressions I kept from my actual stay, there.
Shangri La, the valley of Eden
I travelled to Hunza and Chapursan Valley, at Pakistani Afghanistan and China borders during summer 2018. Like all external visitors, I enjoyed the pristine nature and the outstanding sceneries which were a pure delight. I was amazed by the kindness and the education of the inhabitants so different from the global image Pakistan, unfortunately, still has abroad. In Sost and in Chapursan Valley, I staid in Pamir Serai guest–houses I had to report about these wonders. I made numerous photographies and wrote articles about what I observed. Part were in French. Part were in English. Some of them were just shown on my blogs. Others were published on local medias (Passu Time, Pamir Times) and on a French one (Agoravox). I recently decided to present the English papers on “Medium” to enhance their international sharing and to help people, interested by the Karakoram region, to access them. These are “High Asia, stories of the Karakoram”.
Angels and Demon of the Black Mountain
It is said the medal has a reverse side. In May 2019, I was alerted by a guest house owner from Reshit, Chapursan Valley, about the content of a public Facebook page. See “Hunza : the Black Mountain Dragon anthology”. There, I could read strong warnings about Wakhi people and especially the ones of Chapursan Valley. Their self-called whistleblower pretended there was a conspiracy from local guides and travel domestic agents with foreign male travelers for abusing resident women and sexually attacking all single female travellers. I questioned my personal local impressions. Have I been lured? Could I become responsible for sending innocent people to a dangerous remote trap?
While I analysed them, the alarming publications became suspect. I eventually observed numerous plagiarism of traditions and legends. The result was a sort of sinister Bollywood soap opera scenario, where facts were replaced by a somewhat “litterature.” It had all of the ingredients: gods, saints, sins, croks, dragons, sex, violences, lies,crime, love, passions, scandals, hatred, vendettas, exoticism, ghosts. . .
However, there was still a question. Why was this fiction presented as a true personal experience by the “writer”? I had to go through the prolific production of this female “author” to understand she was a local resident of mountainous Hunza coming from distant lowlands. She was facing physical and mental disorders. But, mostly, she was unsuccessful in her sentimental life. Her academical or glamorous and trendy models failed matching the reality. Then, what was presented as a security notice for travelers was, actually, a “vendetta” of an unusual scale against a minority from a different ethnicity and religion. It resulted from her disillusion regarding local people and from her xenophobia regarding western people. The more I entered into the subject, the more I had the feeling to see an Asian version of the French Myriam Badaoui, the community accuser and child abuser of the infamous Outreau trial.
The road to hell
I made a public report about my findings. Fearing the development of some religious, ethnic and xenophobic tensions, as it happened in a close valley of Pakistan, I sent my notes to the French Embassy in Islamabad and to the Pakistani embassy in Paris.
Soon, detailed testimonies about child maltreatment by the above “whistleblower” started to be written as comments at the bottom of this paper. They came from people I never met with, with whom I had no personal communications and whose I don’t even know the name.
It is how I entered into troubled waters. The instable author, backed by a Russian accomplice, Ms Olga Leonidovna Ozerova, turned into a determined stalker. I was defamed on her Facebook pages, where she added new chapters of her dark tale. I was bullied in the review module of my professional pages. I was harassed and provocated with slanders in my personal mail box. The list of my clients was shared with recommendation, for her followers, to call them and “explain” how a criminal person I was. This was a disturbing situation. It became more complicated when this person moved to Twitter and also spread calumnious denunciations to authorities, NGO’s and personalities. Though, it was a situation where there was a lot to learn, for someone who always evolutes in a rational sphere, it became hard to stand. I filed a complaint at my city High Court for the Public Prosecutor .
I got the support of the French National Agency against cyberbullying.
I sent a Formal Demand Notice to my tormentor. She rejected it.
After more than 1000 abusive tweets, in February, 2020, I got the stalker account, @GruaAbuseArkive (previously @barefootRamster & @barefoot_rmala) suspended for impersonation and harassment.
Immediately, an old account, BarefootRaRa (recently renamed into CopingWithCovid) was re-activated by this Pakistani malevolant twitter user to continue the campaign, even asking for the support of the French far-right…
After one month suspension, Twitter re-activated the main cybercriminal account. Her more than 6500 Tweets of crap, insults, defamation, calumnious denunciations are active again. Ramla Akhtar re-started to use it on March 27, 2020 with still a twitter ID and a bio where she is still abusing my name.
There is not much you can do.
Having problems on Twitter was something very new for me. I would be a Pakistani citizen living in Pakistan, I could probably launch some legal actions. In France, lawyers say the stalker would live in our country, I could get a summary judgement with a fine and even a jail sentence in case of offender relapse. The tormentor would be in the US or in Europe, I could also reasonably get this nuisance stopped. The abuser being based in Pakistan and the victim being in France, there is a clear judicial loophole for cybercrime.
If you decide to write sincerely about a country like Pakistan but you are not ready to face this kind of situation, think twice.
The female stalker is not limited to Facebook and Twitter. We can read a comment “alert” on the travel blog of Alex Reynolds, where she still pretends being a tourist. She published an article on “Medium” against the family and the Chapursan Valley community under her attacks, again posing as a tourist. Fortunately, I obtained this paper being removed by Medium moderators. She also published two article against me on Medium. They were so excessive that they were flushed quickly. That’s not all. She made a website on blogger under https://gruaabusearkive.blogspot.com whith my profile picture. It was blasted under impersonation, too. She created a web site usurping the identity of the guesthouse of the family she wants to revenge of. She placed a defamatory warning as a repellent against visitors in order to cut the subsistance of this Wakhi family. The case is still pending. We, thus, see the example of a false tourist emitting, on various supports, detailed and alarming defamatory opinions concerning the conditions of reception of foreign visitors in North of Pakistan. This toxic nuisance should be erraticated. It is time local communities, Pakistani agencies & cybercrime agencies take care of Ramla Akhtar, aka Rmala Aalam. Meanwhile, as warned in the formal demand notice, which was rejected, I decided to apply a reciprocity policy. In other words, Ramla Akhtar is exposed to endure all that she is using against her victims. It will be a no-mercy counter fight.

No to Hate-Speech, abuses & violences 
Ooh. Saint Bernard the Loony Grua (who is the patron saint of criminals and pedophile, as already noted in France) came here, wrote a few articles and took pictures, then tried to excite the Wakhi people to attack Sunnis, and we have to kiss his feet? LOL.
Fuck you, Bernie. You were pathetic in school and you are pathetic today. A midget, and a lame excuse for a man. Grow up (might need herbal meds for that, you know where to find those!).

So, Ramla Akhtar, aka Rmala Aalam, the monstrously obese Pakistani female cyberstalker and child abuser, you have nothing to answer to facts… Just the usual crap of disgusting lies with no evidences. Then, why you come here? Because you are a freak. It would be funny if there would not a be a child in the middle of this madness. I hope social services will transfer this poor little girl in the quiet and loving family of her father. Fortunately, some good people are working hard on this issue. I just wish they will not arrive too late. And, you, may be, someone will have some pity (not me) and lock you in a psychiatric hospital.
This is the fat peace of jelly who introduced herself as warrior. She is a horse-woman, you know?
What a vision of hell madness!
