The bench was The News, 30 Sep, 2014 hearing the PTI’s petition against the imposition of Section 144 in the Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) and a petition of the Aabpara Traders Association President Ajmal Baloch against the PAT sit-in. The bench observed that children and elderly people could not be exposed to the harmful environment at the sit-in venue and both the parties should remove them from the protest venue at least voluntarily. The legal counsel for the PAT argued that children were accompanying their parents.Justice Athar observed that the act of parents to bring their children to such a harmful environment was itself unlawful. “It is the court’s duty to protect the rights of minors, as there are laws for the protection of children through guardian courts; therefore, being a judge one cannot overlook this aspect at all,” the judge further observed. PTI MNA Asad Umar assured the court that he would do his best to comply with the court orders and would request the parents not to bring the minors to the sit-in.In the last hearing, the bench had asked lawyers from all the sides whether the prime minister and minister for interior were competent to grant permission for holding of protest or a district magistrate had the authority in this respect. The bench said if the prime minister and minister for interior were not competent, then under what pretext they announced on the media that they had allowed the protests on the Constitution Avenue. Justice Athar Minallah said if the prime minister and minister for interior unlawfully allowed the protesters, the cost the national exchequer suffered through all this may be imposed on them. The PTI and PAT also had to explain if they knew while protesting on the Constitution Avenue that the prime minister and minister for interior had no authority to permit the protests and they needed the permission of district magistrate. If it is proved, then the cost will that the national exchequer suffered will also be imposed on the PTI and PAT, the IHC bench said. The bench further observed that a protest no longer remained peaceful if its participants carried sticks and clubs in their hands.In Monday’s hearing, Justice Athar Minallah observed that prima facie the permission granted to the parties for staging the sit-ins in the Red Zone was unlawful. The district magistrate was the authorised person to allow the protest in the Red Zone but he categorically denied giving any such permission, the judge added. The bench further observed that as per the media record, the interior minister, on the advice of the prime minister, allowed the protesters and the court had to look into the question if the prime minister or any other minister was competent to grant such permission without involving the district magistracy. The bench observed if it was proved that the permission granted to the protesters for holding the sit-in in the Red Zone was illegal, then the prime minister will have to bear the cost.The court has also appointed Babar Sattar, Ijaz Sandhu and Saad Rasool amicus curie (friends or assistants of the court) with an addition of Yousaf Khosa on the last date of hearing. Advocate Babar Sattar argued that the prime minister and federal ministers should be asked whether or not they permitted any protest. The court cannot deal with a question that is political in nature, he also said. Advocate Yousaf Khosa argued that the court has also to examine whether the issues raised in the petition of the Aabpara traders needed a judicial forum.The bench observed that political questions should have been put before parliament but the court had to protect the fundamental rights of citizens. The judge pointed out that the Article 16 of the Constitution says, “Every citizen shall have the right to assemble peacefully and without arms, subject to any reasonable restrictions imposed by law in the interest of public order.” He added as per the said article, the right of assembly was not the absolute right as it entailed certain restrictions to protect the rights of other citizens.The bench also directed the police to submit a report on the use of force since the marchers arrived in the federal capital.

Terrorism, Islamization, and Human Rights: How Post 9/11 Pakistani English Literature Speaks to the World Abstract The start of the twenty-first century has witnessed a simultaneous rise of three areas of scholarly interest: 9/11 literature, human rights discourse, and War on Terror studies. The resulting intersections between literature and human rights, foregrounded by an overarching narrative of terror, have led to a new area of interdisciplinary enquiry broadly classed under human rights literature, at the point of the convergence of which lies the idea of human empathy.

This report will be updated as events warrant. A U.S.-Pakistan relationship marked by periods of both cooperation and discord was transformed by the September 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States and the ensuing enlistment of Pakistan as a key ally in U.S.-led counterterrorism efforts. Top U.S. officials have praised Pakistan for its ongoing cooperation, although long-held doubts exist about Islamabad’s commitment to some core U.S. interests. Pakistan is identified as a base for terrorist groups and their supporters operating in Kashmir, India, and Afghanistan. Since 2003, Pakistan’s army has conducted unprecedented and largely ineffectual counterterrorism operations in the country’s Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) bordering Afghanistan, where Al Qaeda operatives and pro-Taliban insurgents are said to enjoy “safe haven.” Militant groups have only grown stronger and more aggressive in 2008.

ABSTRACT The ranging course of terrorism banishing peace and security prospects of today’s Pakistan is seen as a domestic effluent of its own flawed policies, bad governance, and lack of social justice and rule of law in society and widening gulf of trust between the rulers and the ruled. The study focused on policies and performance of the Musharraf government since assuming the mantle of front ranking ally of the United States in its so called ‘war on terror’. The causes of reversal of pre nine-eleven position on Afghanistan and support of its Taliban’s rulers are examined in the light of the geo-strategic compulsions of that crucial time and the structural weakness of military rule that needed external props for legitimacy. The flaws of the response to the terrorist challenges are traced to its total dependence on the hard option to the total neglect of the human factor from which the thesis develops its argument for a holistic approach to security in which the people occupy a central position.
