Respected Sir Opposition leader Nisar Ali Khan!
By means of this letter, I wish to express my views over a non-democratic law. Inside and abroad Pakistan they boast about taking a step forward for amendment in Blasphemy Law. But sadly, who claim to be torch bearers of human rights don’t give even a slight attention to a Black Law, due to which, Pakistanis have suffered a great deal.
Article 199(3) of the Constitution, which was taken as an exemption by the first dictator of Pakistan to protect his personal aims. This is the lapse, that’s present in the constitution till now. This is due to this law that the Pakistanis, who got arrested and abducted in Musharraf Attack Case, could find no way to protect themselves from the ruthless, unconstitutional and immoral commands of Musharraf.
Even in today’s democratic rule, the doors of Courts are closed for these beings.
The first attack on Ex- President Pervaiz Musharraf took place on 14, December 2003. In which there are five convicts. Just to remind that no life lost and no one got injured in this attack. While the second took place on 25, December 2003, in which, there are seven convicts. These 12 convicts got badly entangled in to the severe barbarism of Musharraf, all that which was non constitutional, immoral, illegal. They were injuriously going through the following conditions in their own country.

1. Among them none of the convicts were allowed to bring their witness in their defense.
2. They were injuriously put to Physical assaults including torture, humiliation and disregard for human rights. By dint of torture confessional statements were taken from them.
3. Till the time of pronouncing death to these convicts, none of them were provided with their Trial Proceedings and other related documents.
4. High Court as well as Supreme Court held the decision of Court Martial, denying their appeal due to this black law of constitution 199(3) (as mentioned above).
5. In the beginning of their Trial, they were denied to access any lawyers for them.
6. They were registered with unjustifiable intentions and they were sentenced to death even though the prosecution had not produced any evidence against them. There were no legal evidence till the time court martial pronounced them death sentence.
7. Islam Siddiqi, who belonged to Defense Security Guard, was put to death in 2003 after the decision of secret court without any legal evidence, without his access to Trial proceedings and other documents, even snatching him off his right to file Mercy Petition.
8. These all convicts were arrested without any arrest warrant either abducted from different places. In other words, both the process of arrest and Case secret.I find these days in the papers that CJ Iftikhar Chuadry also urging to bring a change in inconsistent laws. We should move forward in taking concrete steps towards bringing change in such non competent laws.
I Plea, that this Black Law should be raise in the Parliament so that we can save 12 lives. Now when lawyers all over Pakistan raising their voice against this law. Rawalpindi Bar Council, in which, approximately around 1000 lawyers have passed a resolution against this law and Lawyers at Multan Bar council have passed a resolution against this black law with majority votes.
I’m positive that you will rise for this and would do your part for saving nation from the harms of this Law.
Thanking you,
ABC (write your name here)

بخدمت جناب نثار علی خان !

اس خط کے ذریعے سے ایک غیر انسانی اور غیر جمہوری مسئلے کے خلاف آواز اٹھانا چاہتا /چاہتی ہوں۔ پاکستان میں اور پاکستان سے باہر قانون رسالت بل کے بارے میں تو زور و شور سے بولا جاتا ہے لیکن افسوس کے ساتھ کہنا پڑتا ہے کہ وہ لوگ جو خود کو انسانی حقوق کا علمبردار ہونے کا مینار کہتے ہیں ایسے قانون کی طرف آنکھ اٹھا کر بھی نہیں دیکھتے جس کی وجہ سے پاکستانی شہریوں نے حد درجہ تکلیف اٹھائی اور ٹھوکریں کھائیں ۔

آئین کی شق ۱۹۹ (۳)  جو کہ پاکستان کے پہلے آمر نے ۱۹۶۲ میں اپنے مذموم مقاصد کے حصول کے لیے استثنیٰ کے طور پر حاصل کیے تھے ، یہ وہ خلاء ہے جو آئین میں آج تک موجود ہے ۔ وہ پاکستانی شہری جو کہ مشرف حملہ کیس میں پکڑے یا گرفتار کیے گئے اس کالے قانون کی وجہ سے مشرف کے بے دردانہ ، غیر آئینی اور غیر اخلاقی عمل تلے دبوچ دیے گئے تھے ۔ اور آج کے جمہوری دور میں بھی ان پر عدالت کے دروازے بند ہیں ۔

سابقہ صدر پرویز مشرف پر حملہ ۱۴ ، دسمبر ۲۰۰۳ میں ہوا جس میں پانچ ملزمان ملزم ٹھہرے ، یہاں یہ بات غور طلب ہے کہ اس حملے میں کوئی جانی نقصان نہیں ہوا اور نہ کوئی زخمی ہوا ۔ جب  کہ دوسرا حملہ جو کہ ۲۵ دسمبر ۲۰۰۳ میں ہوا ، اس حملے میں سات ملزم ٹھہرے ۔ یہ بارہ ملزمان غیر قانونی ، غیر آئینی اور غیر اخلاقی طور پر مشرف کی اندھی بربریت کا شکار کچھ اس طرح ہوئے :

۱۔ اس میں کسی ملزم کو اپنے خلاف گواہ لانے کی اجازت نہیں تھی

۲۔ ان کو کئی ماہ تک مسلسل ظالمانہ تشدد کا نشانہ بنایا گیا اور انسانی حقوق کی بے دریغ پامالی کی گئی ۔ اسی تشدد کی بنیاد پر ان سے اعترافی بیان لیے گئے ۔

۳۔ سزائے موت کے مرحلے تک مقدمے کے کاغذات (ٹرائل پروسیڈنگ ) تک رسائی دینے سے مکمل انکار کیا گیا

۴۔ ہائی کورٹ اور سپریم کورٹ نے ان کی اپیل کو آئین کی مذکورہ بالا شق ۱۹۹ (۳)  کی وجہ سے مسترد کر دیا ۔

۵۔ ٹرائل کی شروعات میں کسی وکیل تک رسائی کی اجازت نہ دی گئی ۔

۶۔ کوئی قانونی شہادت موجود نہ تھیں یہاں تک کہ کورٹ مارشل نے انہیں سزائے موت سنا دی ۔

۷۔ ڈیفنس سیکیورٹی گارڈ سے تعلق رکھنے والے اسلام صدیقی کو آرمی کورٹ نے بغیر کسی قانونی شہادت ، مثل مقدمہ اور مقدمہ سے متعلق دیگر کاغذات تک رسائی دیے بغیر ، یہاں تک کہ رحم کی اپیل دائر کرنے کا حق ان سے چھین لیا گیا اور خفیہ عدالتی مقدمہ میں سنائی گئی سزا کے تحت ۲۰۰۳ میں غیر قانونی اور غیر آئینی طور پر سولی پر چڑھا دیا گیا ۔

۸۔ اس سب ملزمان کو بغیر کیسی اریسٹ وارنٹ کے گرفتار کیا گیا ۔ یعنی گرفتاری بھی خفیہ اور مقدمہ بھی خفیہ چلایا گیا ۔

اب جب کہ چیف جسٹس افتخار چوہدری کے ایسے بیانات اخبارات میں آئے ہیں کہ ایسے قوانین کی ترمیم کے لیے آگے بڑھنا چاہیے جو انسانی حقوق کی پامالی کا باعث ہیں ۔ میں آپ سے گزارش کرتا /کرتی ہوں کہ اس قانون کو پارلیمنٹ میں اٹھایا جائے تاکہ ۱۲ معصوم لوگوں کی جانیں بچ جائیں ۔

اب جب کہ پاکستان بھر کے وکلاء اس قانون کے خلاف اٹھ کھڑے ہوئے ہیں ، راول پنڈی بار کونسل ، جس میں تقریبا ایک ہزار کے قریب وکلاء اور ملتان بار کونسل کے وکلاء نے اکثریتی ووٹوں کے ساتھ اس قانون کے خلاف قرار داد پاس کی ہے ۔

میں امید کرتا ہوں کہ آپ اس آواز کو اٹھائیں گے  اور معصوم جانوں کے نقصان کے خلاف اپنا کردار ادا کریں گے ۔

شکریہ

ISLAMABAD:19th July Report of Dawn newspaper

Two ex-servicemen and four civilians, who were sentenced to death by the Field General Court Martial in 2005 for two assassination attempts on former president Gen (retd) Pervez Musharraf, moved the Supreme Court here on Monday requesting it to direct the government to provide one right of appeal against the decision of the military court by amending relevant rules.

Advocate Mohammad Ikram Chaudhry filed separate petitions on behalf of Arshad Mehmood, former Naik in the Pakistan Army, and Nawazish Ali, ex-chief technician in the Pakistan Air Force, and civilians Ghulam Sarwar Bhatti, Zubair Ahmad, Mushtaq Ahmad and Ikhlas Ahmad.

The army personnel and civilians were arrested for their alleged role in suicide attacks on Gen (retd) Pervez Musharraf on Dec 14, 2003, at Jhanda Chichi Bridge in Rawalpindi and on Dec 25, 2003, in front of a petrol pump also near Jhanda Chichi.

After in-camera hearing, the Field General Court Martial awarded death sentences in July 2005 to the ex-servicemen and civilians under the Army Act, 1952, which were later confirmed by the vice chief of the army staff.

The petitioners have pleaded before the apex court to recommend to the government to amend the Army Act, 1952, Pakistan Air Force Act, 1953, and the Pakistan Naval Ordinance, 1961, to provide at least one opportunity of appeal against the decisions of the army tribunal, either before the Supreme Court or before an independent military tribunal as was done by the Indian government in 2007 through an appropriate legislation and as in practice in countries like the US, UK and Canada.

They have also requested the court to ask the federal government to legislate for independent military tribunals and finally to re-examine all case laws from F.B. Ali to this day by constituting a larger bench of the Supreme Court and also re-examine the sentences awarded to them in the light of the presidential reference in the Zulfikar Ali Bhutto case.

The federal government through secretaries of law and defence are respondents in the case.

The petitioners contended that the amendments made during the Pervez Musharraf regime in three military laws to bring civilians under the jurisdiction of military tribunals were against the Constitution and, therefore, liable to be struck down on the touchstone of Article 8 of the Constitution which declared as void all laws inconsistent with or in derogation of fundamental rights.

They pleaded before the court to declare Section 133 of the Army Act, 1952, as ultra vires of the Constitution because it negated a number of constitutional provisions like Article 2A (Objective Resolutions to be part of the Constitution), 4 (right of individuals to be dealt with in accordance with law), 5 (loyalty to State and obedience to Constitution and law), 9 (security of persons), 10 (safeguards as to arrest and detention), 10-A (right to fair trial), 25 (equality of citizens), denial of rights under Article 175 (establishment and jurisdiction of courts) and 203 (high courts to superintendent subordinate courts).

The petitioners contended that the said military laws denied fundamental rights of fair trial and due process through independent and impartial tribunals.

They have raised questions whether a subordinate enactment expressly or widely worded can take away the jurisdiction of superior courts in civil and military offences, whether Section 133 of the Army Act is in contradiction with the provisions of the Constitution and whether or not under Article 184(3) of the Constitution (apex court’s jurisdiction to enforce fundamental rights) the Supreme Court enjoys the authority to look into the vires of any law to do complete justice.
