The government’s decision to lift the moratorium on the death penalty will pave the way for the execution of 7,135 condemned prisoners. However, some legal experts believe that except for terrorists and those convicted by the military court, other convicts may not be affected by the government’s latest decision. 2. The capital police took into custody owner of the vehicle used by terrorists in their attack on the Army Public School in Peshawar, officials said on Wednesday. 3. While Islamabad police and Federal Directorate of Education (FDE) directed all school administrators on Wednesday to ensure security of students, there are over 50 schools in the federal capital which do not have boundary walls. 4. The lack of progress on tackling terrorism is evident from the fact that in 2014, the conviction rate in the three ATCs of the twin cities –Rawalpindi and Islamabad – remained low. 5. In the backdrop of gruesome Peshawar school massacre, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Wednesday announced to end its 126-day long sit-in at the Constitution Avenue of the capital to give a clear message that the whole nation stands united against terrorism. 6. Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Wednesday said that to eliminate menace of terrorism, it has been unanimously decided to form a parliamentary committee to chalk out a national plan of action in seven days and present it before the national leadership. 7. The disputed chief of outlawed TTP, Mullah Fazlullah and his close associates are most likely to be hunted down by Pak-Afghan joint efforts soon, as actions on this count have been accelerated to the full extent, it is reliably learnt. 8. Former Pakistani president Pervez Musharraf has blamed India for the dastardly attack in which over 140 people mostly schoolchildren were killed in Peshawar by the Taliban. 9. There are 1,422 condemned prisoners in 32 prisons of Punjab at present, awaiting execution, of whom about 400 prisoners were sentenced on terrorism charges. 10. Pakistan has secured a crucial assurance from Kabul and the US-led International Security Assistance Force (Isaf) regarding elimination of sanctuaries of the Tehreek- e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on Afghan soil a day after the grisly violence at the Army Public School and College in Peshawar. 11. The Federal Directorate of Education (FDE) at a meeting on Wednesday reviewed security measures at capital schools and colleges following the attack on the Army Public School at Peshawar. 12. Chinese Ambassador Sun Weidong Wednesday said trade volume between Pakistan and China was registered at $ 12.8 billion during the last 10 months, showing 10 percent increase than the corresponding period of last year. 2 Pakistan Media Digest December 18 2014 ‘End of moratorium to affect those convicted under anti-terror laws’ These figures were provided to the Supreme Court by the federal government submitted in the Supreme Court in a petition filed by Barrister Zafarullah seeking the release of the condemned prisoners who had completed 18 years imprisonment. The government figures are however contested by independent observers. According to Amnesty International, the number of prisoners on death row is over 8,000. According to figures provided by the government, there are 6,424 death row prisoners in Punjab, 355 in Sindh, 183 in the Khyber Pukhtunkhwa (KP), 79 in Balochistan and 15 in Gilgit-Baltistan (GB). As per detail, in Punjab, 4,981 appeals against death sentences are pending in the Lahore High Court (LHC), 15 in the Federal Shariat Court (FSC), 893 in the Supreme Court (SC); in addition three such appeals are also pending at the General Headquarters (GHQ). Punjab has most prisoners on death row, highest number of pending appeals The mercy petitions filed before the President are 463 while executions have been stayed in 69 cases. In Sindh, 266 appeals against the death sentence are pending in the Sindh High Court (SHC), five in the FSC, 48 in the SC, three in GHQ, 27 mercy petitions are lying with the Governor and executions have been stayed in six cases. The three petitions from Punjab that are lying with the GHQ are separate from the ones from Sindh. 3 Pakistan Media Digest December 18 2014 In KP, 102 appeals have been filed in the Peshawar High Court (PHC), 49 in the SC, while 29 mercy petitions have been sent to the governor and execution have been stayed in three cases. From Balochistan, 29 appeals against conviction are pending in the Balochistan High Court (BHC), one in the FSC, and 41 in the SC. There are also 13 mercy petitions. Recently, in a case in the LHC, a lawyer, Rana Kashif, produced an official letter from the President Secretariat before the court which disclosed that 78 mercy petitions have been rejected by the president. The death moratorium dates back to the PPP regime. President Asif Ali Zardari imposed the moratorium in 2008, unofficially. It has lasted till present even though the PPP has been replaced by the PML-N and Zardari no longer occupies the presidency. However, there was one exception – in 2012, one death row prisoner was sent to the gallows. The convicted was a soldier who had been court-martialed. According to military sources, the soldier, Mohammad Hussain, was sentenced to death for murdering the wife of a senior officer. It is said that in this case, the civilian leadership could not stop the sentence from being carried out because the military was involved. Some observers also link the moratorium to Pakistan‟s success in securing the General Scheme of Preference (GSP+), under which Pakistan will get preferential trade access to the European Union. However, the GSP status does not stop the execution of death penalty awarded to terrorists. Barrister Zafarullah who filed the petition against the execution of the death penalty is of the view that the government announced the limited execution of the condemned prisoners in order to ensure its GSP+ status in the European Union. “But the 170 convicted in the terrorism cases whose sentences have attained finality, can still be executed.” However, as the government was reluctant to provide its reasoning or policy, there were also reports that the PML-N government was averse to carrying out the death penalty because it feared a backlash from the militants. Former Judge Advocate General (JAG) of the army, retired Brigadier Wasaf Khan Niazi is of the opinion that the military court awards death sentence to those accused of sedition, mutiny and espionage. 4 Pakistan Media Digest December 18 2014 “Since these offences are identical with some sections mentioned in the Anti Terrorism Act (ATA) therefore those convicted under these sections of the ATA can also be executed.” Amjad Iqbal Qureshi, former judge of Islamabad High Court (IHC), told Dawn that many civilised countries had already abolished the capital punishment as they believe awarding death sentence is against the human rights. He said the lifting of moratorium may put Pakistan‟s status of GPS+ at stake. He however said that the international community should be taken into confidence on this matter if the lifting is indispensible. The cases in which military officials are on death row include the GHQ attack case. These included soldier Imran Siddiq who was convicted in connection with the GHQ attack in 2009. In another case, a soldier, Ghulam Nabi, was also awarded the death sentence by a military court for aiding the suicide attack at the National Bank in November 2009 on Mall Road. The bank was located near the GHQ and army personnel used the branch to withdraw their salaries. Six former officials of the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) were also convicted by the PAF court for attacking Gen Musharraf in 2003. A civilian, Aqeel alias Dr Usman, was also awarded the death sentence by the military court

  • Relationship of Pessimistic Attitude with Childhood Abuse Among the Female Prisoners of Punjab Prisons
    Pakistan Journal of Criminology Volume 2, No. 2, April 2010, pp. 111 - 116 111 Relationship of Pessimistic Attitude with Childhood Abuse Among the Female Prisoners of Punjab Prisons Sarwat Inayat Mirza Abstract This study will examine the relationship between experience of abuse and pessimistic attitude among the female prisoners in the Punjab Prisons. Data was collected with the help of questionnaire and psychological test was conducted. Results revealed correlation between experience of abuse and pessimistic attitude among the female prisoners in the Punjab Prisons. This study may promote the needs to attend to psychosocial problems of inmates for rehabilitation purposes and help the planners and policy makers in controlling recidivism rate. Keywords Problem Statement There is a relationship between pessimistic attitude and abuse among the female prisoners in the Punjab prisons. Introduction Correctional experts have seriously neglected the female offenders and the prisons they reside in for the reasons that these forgotten offenders have been neglected for so long merely for the reasons that female inmates are limited in number. Limited number of female criminals does not mean that the problem is ignorable. The apathy attached to the problem in fact misses out the very important issues and problems faced by female under trial / convicted prisoners. Once convicted or even suspected of a crime, a woman becomes even further marginalized. The female criminal is labelled a "fallen woman," and both men and women shunned anyone suspected of being a "fallen woman." Because of this stigma, the female prisoner was largely neglected and often subjected to harsh treatment and abuse. Crime is simply a human act considered undesirable, bad, or illegal from the viewpoint of the social, moral and legal aspects of society, but ones committed by female offenders becomes a taboo issue causing deep emotional and mental stresses.

    NCHR NEWSLETTER AUGUST-DECEMBER 2017 National Commission for Human Rights 5th Floor Evacuee Trust Complex, Agha Khan Road, Islamabad NATIONAL COMMISSION FOR HUMAN RIGHTS Phone: 051-9216777, Fax: 051-9216772 PAKISTAN E-mail: [email protected], Website: nchr.org.pk AGUST-DECEMBER 2017 NEWSLETTER Chairman’s Message Pakistan is passing through a tumultuous time. In an unprecedented stage in our history we are plagued by a plethora of problems shrouding our future in an ominous cloud. Child abuse is rampant. Hate speech and extremism are festering, leading to forced conversions of minority communities in Tharparkar, Kalash, among others, and an increase in sectarian killings of Hazara Shias in Balochistan, and other religious minorities all over the country. One of the biggest challenges that Pakistan faces is enforced disappearances aimed at shutting down dissent or gaining personal leverage, with multiple accusations levied against state agencies or foreign interference. Synchronously to due process being overlooked, torture is being ignored. There exists no definition of torture in our penal code, a strict rebuke to the international treaties ratified by us. Pakistan has become a mini-killing field; it appears altruism is a victim. Though this may paint a bleak picture, we must remember that the context is unique in Pakistan’s 70 years. Civil society is more empowered than ever and fighting to hold accountable the institutions established to protect them, and the government is taking some measures to tackle these problems, with the establishment of the NCHR being one such step. NCHR is mandated to look into human rights issues faced by Pakistani citizens at home and abroad and to resolve them.

  • Jail Reforms
    JAIL REFORM Introduction The Secretariat of the Law & Justice Commission of Pakistan received many reports from NGOs and suggestions from the general public to the effect that the prison system needs reform with a view to ameliorate the condition of prison inmates. Data was received from the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan, Council of Islamic Ideology, Jail Training Institute, Lahore, containing useful suggestions for improvement in the prison system. Many reports appeared in the media, asking for review and reform of the prison system. All such data/suggestions were examined and have been incorporated in the present report. It may be stated that earlier on, the Commission published a fairly comprehensive report on Jail Reform (Report 23) in 1997. The Report was prepared after considerable efforts in collecting Data, inviting suggestions from the general public, visit to prisons by officers of the Secretariat and after conducting a public hearing on the subject. A summary of recommendations contained in the said report is at Annex l. These recommendations which are yet to be implemented by the Federal and Provincial Governments, for want of fund or amendments in the relevant laws and rules, include construction of prisons in outskirts of major cities, improving conditions of judicial lock-ups by equipping these with facilities like fans, benches and toilets. The facilities of outdoor games like football, basketball and indoor games have not been provided while recommendations for improving the conditions in death cells are yet to be adhered to. Similarly, the recommendations of reviving sick industries in jails and encouraging private sector for establishing industrial units in prisons are also not yet implemented.
