12 May 2012

KARACHI — Behram Khan, sentenced to death by an anti-terrorism court for the murder of a lawyer in 2003, will be hanged on May 23. If the hanging was carried out on due date it would be the first in the tenure of present PPP-led coalition government.

A black warrant of Behram Khan was issued for the hanging on Thursday. He was found guilty and condemned to death by the then judge of the ATC-III, Arshad Noor Khan, on June 25, 2003.

The court found him guilty of killing Advocate Mohammed Ashraf on April 15, 2003 on the premises of the Sindh High Court (SHC). Later, the convict moved an appeal against his conviction in the SHC, but the court upheld the capital punishment.

Khan’s counsel moved the Supreme Court of Pakistan, which also maintained the death sentence and dismissed his appeal. Eventually, a mercy petition of the convict to the president of Pakistan was also rejected.

The jail authorities informed the court on May 9 about the dismissal of the mercy petition by the president and requested the court to issue the black warrant for the execution of the convict.

The judge, Ghulam Mustafa Memon, of the ATC-III, issued the black warrant on Thursday and directed the officials of the Central prison Karachi to hang the convict at 4.30am on May 23.

Death sentence for Singing and Dancing in Pakistan

Four women and two men have been sentenced to death in northern Pakistan for allegedly singing and dancing together at a wedding, police said Monday.
The decree was issued after a mobile phone video emerged of the six at a recent reception in the remote Gada village in the mountainous district of Kohistan, 176 kilometers north of the capital Islamabad. The video appears to show the six celebrating the wedding in defiance of strict tribal customs that separate men and women at weddings.
“The local clerics issued a decree to kill all four women and two men shown in the video,” said district police officer Abdul Majeed Afridi. “It was decided that the men will be killed first, but they ran away so the women are safe for the moment. I have sent a team to rescue them and am waiting to hear some news,” he said, adding that the women had been confined to their homes.
Afridi said the events stemmed from a dispute between two tribes and that there was no evidence the men and women had been intermingling. “All of them were shown separately in the video. I’ve seen the video taken on a cell phone myself, it shows four women singing and a man dancing in separate scenes and then another man sitting in a separate shot,” he said.
“This is tribal enmity. The video has been engineered to defame the tribe,” he added.
Hazara Division Commissioner Khalid Khan Omerzai refuted Afridi’s version of events, claiming it was an internal family matter, and no clerics were involved. “The family saw their children dancing with each other and became embarrassed. So, they decided to kill them,” he told Newsweek Pakistan.
“We have contacted the families and told them to leave the women alone or face the consequences,” he added, confirming that the men had already fled the region. He said security forces had taken eight people into custody already.
The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan said at least 943 women and girls were murdered last year for allegedly defaming their family’s honor.

Jirga injustice: Four Kohistani women, accomplice ‘killed’ for defying customs
By Muhammad Sadaqat
Published: June 4, 2012

KOHISTAN: Four women of the Azad Khel tribe allegedly paid the ultimate price after being ‘condemned’ to death by a jirga for defying strict tribal customs. Their crime: singing and dancing with men at a wedding ceremony.

Another girl was also reportedly killed for being ‘an accomplice’. The women were shot dead by their families in a remote village of UC Peech Bela, Palas tehsil, independent sources said on Sunday.

However, police and official sources rejected the allegation and insisted that the women were safe in their homes.

Two months ago, footage showing the four women singing Kohistani folk songs and clapping for two women of the Salikhel tribe was made public.

The police had registered an FIR against two brothers, Bin Yasir and Gul Nazar, for allegedly making the film and uploading it on a video sharing site.

The video caused a furore in the community, which felt the video had stained the honour of the tribeswomen. According to sources, elders of the Azad Khel tribe summoned a jirga at the Seertaiy village, which sentenced the four women and the two men to death.

It was reported that both men had fled the area. However, they were arrested by the police in Alai tehsil, Battagram district on Sunday.

According to Yasir and Nazar’s elder brother, Muhammad Afzal, the women were called back from their in-laws and locked in a room.

He added that their family members subjected the women to severe torture – threw hot water on them, beat them, and kept them in isolation for two months.

Afzal also said that the jirga sent over 30 men to kill of his brothers.

However, after the jirga’s ruthless verdict was reported in the media, the men were called back to the village to kill the women first.

‘Shot dead’

At around two in the morning on May 30, the four women along with a teenage girl were taken out of the room, shot dead and buried at some distance from their village, Afzal alleged.

He said that the teenage girl, believed to be a sister of one of the women, was killed after being suspected of being an ‘accomplice’ and keeping the gathering a secret.

“Yes, they killed the condemned women on May 30,” a resident of the Seertaiay village, who belongs to Chootaykhel tribe, said on the condition of anonymity.

He said the family had to implement the jirga’s decision at every cost to uphold the culture of the area.

The Express Tribune was the first to break the news of the jirga’s decision two weeks ago. Two members of the jirga, Maulvi Javed, who runs a seminary in Mansehra and Maulvi Noorul Haq, a former union nazim, were booked under section 107 of the PPC.

Conflicting reports

Meanwhile, Hazara Commissioner Khalid Khan Umerzai refuted the reports, saying that the women were safe and secure in their homes. A team of investigators had returned from the remote village on Saturday after recording the statement of one of the girl’s mother who confirmed that the women were safe. Umerzai also accused the media of creating hype on a baseless issue.

Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Information Minister Mian Iftikhar Hussain also said that the reports were “wrong and baseless”. Nevertheless, he said he has directed the Kohistan DCO to send an investigation team to the area.

However, an unnamed police source neither confirmed nor denied the report, saying that he could not comment on the issue.

Head of the legal section of the National Commission on Status of Women Riffat Bibi told The Express Tribune that if the women were alive the district administration must present them before the court.

She also strongly condemned the jirga system in Kohistan, adding that the NCSW had already moved the apex court for a ban against parallel justice.

7/19

The European Union cautioned Pakistan on Wednesday against lifting ‘de facto moratorium’ (a law ending mandatory death sentencing), saying such a move will greatly weaken Islamabad’s case to seek duty-free access to the markets of the 27-nation bloc.

“Any move away from de facto moratorium on the death penalty will be received badly in the EU parliament,” said Jean Lambert, Chairperson of the delegation for relations with the countries of South Asia.

Lambert was talking to a select group of journalists at the conclusion of a visit by an EU parliamentary delegation, meant to inspect the country’s preparation for upcoming elections, economic reforms, as well as progress on human rights issues.

Pakistan has been vying for the status of Generalised System for Preferences plus, known as GSP plus, which will allow select developing countries to export duty-free goods to members of the EU from 2014.

Lambert said the GSP plus was a human rights instrument as well as a trading instrument and carries certain obligations in terms of international agreements on rights.

She added that EU parliament’s members were of the view that the GSP plus concessions should not be utilised by countries that still have the death penalty.

Lambert clarified, however, that the GSP plus was still being debated in the parliament, and thus, there was no final agreement – the abolition of the death penalty is not yet a formal condition.

“Continuing moratorium, and specially making some statement about the moratorium, would certainly be helpful in seeking GSP plus status,” said another member of the EU parliament.

Presidency considers commuting death sentences to life imprisonment

Published: August 12, 2012

KARACHI: The Presidency has begun to consider the possibility of commuting all death sentences into life imprisonment and has sought advice from relevant ministries and provincial authorities in this regard by August 13, revealed the former Federal Minister for Human Rights Ansar Burney.

Burney, via his trust The Ansar Burney Trust International, has repeatedly sent petitions to President Asif Ali Zardari, requesting that all death sentences be commuted to life imprisonment considering that a large number of those on death row are either innocent or have already spent several decades awaiting the implementation of their sentence.

According to press release issued by Burney, a notice had been issued in July by the presidency to the Ministry of Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs, Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Interior, the Prime Minister’s Secretariat, and the Chief Secretaries of all provinces to present views on the petitions and the possibility of commuting all death sentences into life imprisonment.

The notice issued by the presidency requests for advice from the various branches of government to be presented to the Ministry of Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs by August 13 for consideration by the government, the release added.

There are currently over 7,500 prisoners in Pakistani jails condemned to death, including women and children. Many are innocent and victims of false testimonies or circumstances.

Hundreds of these prisoners were now physically and mentally disabled due to decades of imprisonment.

The president has either stayed or postponed executions in the past two years, including that of Behram Khan and Hafiz Jaleel Morejo.

 An 11-year-old Christian Pakistani girl could face the death penalty under the country's notorious blasphemy laws, after she was accused by her neighbours of deliberately burning sacred Islamic texts.

Rifta Masih was arrested on Thursday, after complaints against her prompted angry demonstrations. Asif Ali Zardari, the president, has ordered the interior ministry to investigate the case.

As communal tensions continued to rise, about 900 Christians living on the outskirts of Islamabad have been ordered to leave a neighbourhood where they have lived for almost two decades.

But there was no indication that all the Christians would be forced out so suddenly until Rifta was accused of the provocative act of burning the sacred words of Islam.

It sparked immediate demonstrations by crowds estimated at between 600 and 1,000 people, some of whom blocked the nearby Kashmir highway, the major road running west out of the capital.

The police, initially unwilling to take action, eventually charged the girl with blasphemy and took her into custody. The rest of the community, including her parents, fled.

Waiting on death row: Prison dates from around the county
Published: November 12, 2012

Pakistan has one of the largest populations of condemned prisoners and inmates on death row in the world – 7,164 according to official prison records, and over 8,000 according to the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan.

Without an official declaration, the Pakistan Peoples Party government stopped all executions after it came to power in 2008, making Pakistan one of 36 countries in the world observing a moratorium on the death penalty.

There was also talk of a legislation to abolish the death penalty and convert it to life imprisonment, spurred on by a broad-based consensus that criminal law in general, and death penalty convictions in particular, are tilted against the accused and the poor are worst-hit by it. Four years later the bill is yet to see the light of day. Reforming a law on which legislation, especially Shariah-based law, already exists appears increasingly tricky.

Government officials are still non-committal, and opposition lawmakers are already responding with a resounding no. As the government’s term nears its end, the death row population waits for a final decision on its fate.

Meanwhile jails, and the number of people on death row, continue to swell as the lower judiciary keeps on awarding death sentences prolifically.

K-P

Number of jails:  18

Number of prisoners : 8,450

Number of condemned prisoners: 120

Malik Noor Badshah

Haripur Central Jail

Badshah was sentenced to death by a Rawalpindi ATC for a suicide attack on former Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz in Fateh Jhang Tehsil of Attock district on July 30, 2004. Qari Muhammad Siddique, Salman alias Zaheer and Qari Ahmed were also awarded capital punishment in the same case but they are lodged in other jails of the country.

Niaz Muhammad

Haripur Central Jail

Muhammad is the co-accused in the assassination attempt on former Army chief and president Gen Pervez Musharraf on December 14, 2003 in Rawalpindi. At the time of his arrest, Muhammad was a junior technician in the PAF. Field General Court Martial sentenced Muhammad and his five accomplices to death in October 2005 after a trial spanning a year. The condemned filed an appeal before the Lahore High Court against their conviction which was rejected in March 2006 and another appeal in the Supreme Court was turned down in September 2006. His review petition before the SC was also dismissed in March 2011. Of his accomplices, Adnan Rashid escaped with over 287 inmates from Bannu jail in a daring attack by the TTP in April this year.

Fazal Hamid

Haripur Central Jail

Hamid, an activist of Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, has been convicted for a gun-and-grenade attack on Shah-i-Najaf Imambargah in Rawalpindi on February 26, 2002 that killed 11 worshippers. The police arrested 10 suspects and prosecuted them in Rawalpindi’s ATC. On December 9, 2004 a trial court handed down death sentence to Hamid and his three accomplices, Habibullah, Tahir Mehmood and Hafiz Naseer Ahmed, while Ashraf Ali was jailed for seven years for driving the motorcycle used in the attack.

“When Ziaul Haq was the president of Pakistan I worked as Section Officer (SO) Mercy Petitions, a post which was later abolished. I still remember that in his 11 years tenure he rejected all mercy petitions except one that he turned into life imprisonment. It was his policy”

A government official in the K-P Home Department

“There was no police in Swat in 2010, when they left their stations out of fear; when they came back after nine months, they started arresting people on false intelligence reports”

Saulat Ali Khan aka Saulat Mirza

Karachi Central Jail

Mirza, belonging to the Muttahida Qaumi Movement, is facing capital punishment for the 1997 murder of Shahid Hamid, a former managing director of KESC. Mirza was arrested in 1998 and sentenced to death by the ATC a year later for killing Hamid, his driver, and his guard. His appeals were rejected by the Sindh High Court in the year 2000, and by the Supreme Court in 2001. A news report last year stated that Mirza’s mercy appeal was with the interior ministry in 2008.

Jail officials, on condition of anonymity, said Mirza enjoys freedom in the jail, and is better off than other prisoners. “Mirza Bhai has his own UPS, a DVD player, and mp3 player,” said an official.

Mirza has also been accused, by former interior minister Zulfiqar Mirza, of running a network of target killers from inside the jail.

Chaudhry Aslam, the police officer who arrested Mirza, said the court’s execution order should be carried out. “His crimes were proved in the court. He should be punished.”

Ahmed Omar Saeed Shaikh

Hyderabad Central Jail

Shaikh, a British national of Pakistani descent, was given the death sentence in 2002 for the murder of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl by the Karachi ATC. At present, the 37-year-old is waiting for the Sindh High Court to take a decision against his appeal.

Educated at the Aitchison College in Lahore and the London School of Economics, Shaikh is said to have fought in Bosnia and Kashmir and later accused of kidnapping foreigners in India.

Aligned with the terrorist group Jaish-e-Mohammad, Shaikh was arrested in Lahore in February 2002, on suspicion of kidnapping Pearl. Three months later, police found Pearl’s body on the outskirts of Karachi and Sheikh confessed to the murder.

Sheikh’s lawyer Rai Bashir told The Express Tribune that the appeal against the death sentence has been adjourned several times because of unavoidable circumstances such as deaths of lawyers and conflicts in dates. “Also, the government does not want it to be heard as the case is weak. Maybe they are thinking of the pressure from the Americans. We want a decision to be taken on it at the earliest.”

PUNJAB

Number of jails :  32

Number of prisoners :  52,659

Number of condemned prisoners:  6,604

Manzoor Ahmad

Kasur Jail

Ahmad, confined since 2003 in a murder case, was condemned to death by the Special Judge ATC. The ATC refused to accept forgiveness by the legal heirs of the deceased, a leniency allowed by the law. The court’s rejection was based on the fact that Section 6(2)H of the Anti Terrorism Act was included in the FIR against him, which makes his murder a non-compoundable offence. Both his appeals to the Lahore High Court and to the Supreme Court were rejected. His mercy petition was also dismissed by President Musharraf. Ahmad was to be hanged when the PPP came into power but President Zardari’s general stay on executions has given Ahmad a temporary lease of life.

Ahmad’s brother, Muhammad Akbar, wants to move the Federal Shariat Court to get the ATA sections that make FIRs non-compoundable declared un-Islamic. “When Islam has held murder as a compoundable offence, why is our law not accepting it?” Akbar said.

Aqeel alias Dr Usman

Adiala Jail

Aqeel was convicted by an army court for the attack on the Army’s General Headquarters on October 10, 2009. He was captured by the commandos in an injured state. Aqeel was convicted after five months of proceedings at an undisclosed location. He is also believed to be the mastermind of the attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team in Lahore. His appeal is pending in the military court of appeals.

Mumtaz Qadri

Adiala Jail

Qadri, a police constable, shot at and killed Punjab governor Salman Taseer. His appeal is pending before the Islamabad High Court.

Blasphemy charges: Man gets death sentence in Chitral
Published: November 15, 2012

CHITRAL: A man accused of blasphemy against Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was declared guilty and awarded a death sentence along with a fine worth Rs100,000 by Additional Sessions Judge Azhar Ali Khan in Chitral.

According to prosecutors, Hazrat Ali Shah uttered something blasphemous against the Holy Prophet (pbuh) in March 2011 in his village of Barenis, which was testified by many villagers.

Police registered a case under Sections 295 –(a), (b) and (c) of the Pakistan Penal Code.

The convicted man allegedly stood on the roof of his house and spoke loudly and inappropriately against the Prophet (pbuh) about one and a half year ago, creating a tense situation in the village, after which police arrested him and lodged a case.

Another blasphemy case in Pakistan saw Aasia Noreen, a Christian woman commonly known as Aasia Bibi, sentenced to death in November 2010.

Her appeal case is still due to be heard in the high court.

Pakistan carries out first execution in four years

DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan | Thu Nov 15, 2012 7:23am EST

(Reuters) - Pakistan executed its first prisoner in four years on Thursday, hanging a convicted murderer who was a former army serviceman, police said.

Despite the execution of Muhammad Hussain in northwest Pakistan, activists do not expect the country's moratorium on the death penalty to be lifted since this case involved someone in the military. The last execution, in December 2008, also involved the death of a soldier.

Pakistan has more than 8,000 inmates on death row, but a moratorium on executions has been in effect for four years. Pakistani officials say they are working on a draft law to ban the death penalty.

Human rights organizations support the ban, saying that the courts and police in Pakistan are too inept to ensure a fair trial.

"If you look at our investigation system, at the poor quality of the evidence produced in court, how can people get the death penalty on the basis of this?" said Zohra Yusuf, Chairwoman of the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan.

"Most come from underprivileged backgrounds and don't have access to good legal help."

Thursday's execution came after the head of Pakistan's powerful army rejected a plea for clemency, Yusuf said. After the army rejected the plea, the president did not defer the execution, she said.
