An adjournment motion has been filed in the Senate for debate over the 600 foreign terrorists arrested in Pakistan. The motion has been filed by Pakistan People's Party Parliamentarians (PPP-P) Senator Farhatullah Babar. The senator raised several questions in the motion regarding the identity of arrested terrorists and the laws followed during the raids, on the houses of innocent people, conducted to arrest the terrorists.
Babar wanted to know that under which laws and by which agencies the alleged terrorists had been arrested but the information had been denied on the pretext of being sensitive in nature. The senator has also questioned whether the arrested people were still in Pakistan. He asked that if they had been extradited to other countries, had Pakistan signed extradition treaties with those countries or not? The senator said that Amnesty International had reported, in April last year, that Islamabad had violated basic human rights of people not connected with acts of terror and asked what assurances the parliament would be given that human rights had not been violated and innocent people had not been apprehended. |
