— Condemns political revenge, state repressions against PTI incarcerated leaders, workers
— Urges SC to intervene to stop injustices, ensure release of political prisoners
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) spokesperson has expressed serious concerns over the unjust and unnecessary delay in deciding the “fabricated and politically-motivated” cases against PTI leaders incarcerated in various jails across the country, as ‘justice delayed is justice denied’.
PTI spokesperson strongly condemned subjecting Dr. Yasmin Rashid, Senator Ejaz Chaudhary, Mian Mahmood-ul-Rashid, Umar Sarfaraz Cheema, Aliya Hamza Malik and Sanam Javid along with other detained PTI leaders and workers to the political revenge and state repression through needlessly drawn-out and lengthy courts’ proceedings.
He said that PTI senior leaders and workers were facing the worst political vengeance and state tyranny in the country’s history, adding that the disgraceful and shameful game of spreading anarchy and chaos had been going on for the several months in the country. However, PTI spokesperson lamented that the justice system was miserably failed in maintaining and protecting its reputation.
PTI spokesperson said that even the challans of the most of the PTI detained leaders did not submit before the courts hitherto and the trials of their cases were mere limited to the courts appearances.
He warned that a perception among the people was getting stronger regarding possible understanding between the prosecution and the sub-branches of the judiciary to deprive the closed confidants of PTI Chairman Imran Khan, a prisoner of conscience in the jail, from their basic constitutional rights and justice.
PTI spokesperson pointed out that it could be judged from the fact that the prosecution was utilizing all its energies into implicating PTI leaders and workers in false and bogus cases, whereas, a significant majority of the courts were just playing a role of toys in the hands of the state machinery in total disregard of the law and justice.
PTI spokesperson went on to say that the Supreme Court’s (SC) silence on the ongoing atrocities in the subordinate courts was promoting and encouraging lawlessness and anarchy in the country.
He urged that the highest judiciary should intervene immediately and put a halt on the injustices in the lower courts in the country instead of providing silent justification to the state brutalities against the citizens, especially the innocent political workers.
The PTI spokesperson demanded that the constitutional right of all jailed PTI leaders should be accepted and their cases should be completed in a transparent and just manner so as they could be freed from the state’s brutalities and repressions.
