The remains of a concentration camp near Jarwar town of Ghotki district, one of the 11 such camps established by the British government in Sindh in 1936 to confine the freedom fighters of Hur movement, are on the decay due to negligence of concerned authorities.
Located in deserted area, 500 kilometres north-east of Karachi, the decaying buildings and the Phansi Ghat (the place where the Hur fighters were hanged), at the concentration camp, spread over dozen-acres of land, have a great importance for the historians and researchers being a historical evidence of the Hur movement launched by Shaheed Sibghatullah Shah Rashidi and the atrocities committed by the British Raj.
It is said that hundreds of Hurs were hanged at this place. The families of the Hur fighters used to live at these concentration camps, locally known as "Lorho", even after the creation of Pakistan.
The other such camps were located in Rohri, Shahdadkot, Nawabshah, Sinjhoro, Jhole, Shadi Pali and Sanghar.
Some of the hundreds of Hurs hanged at Jarwar concentration camp are Eiden Faqir, Budhal Faqir, Dilbar Faqir, Damgah Faqir Bhambhro, Mureed Faqeer and Ellahi bux Kumbhar.
The elders of the Hur families said that the British army officers used to keep the bodies of hanged Hurs for three days.
