[ad_1] A District and Sessions Court in Lahore on Monday granted the National Accountability Beauru (NAB) one day transit remand of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) president and former Punjab chief minister Chaudhry Parvez Elahi in an asset reference case. Parvez Elahi on Monday was arrested once again by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) team shortly after he was released from Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail. Elahi had been released by the prison authorities following the expiration of his detention period. However, as he emerged from the central gate of Adiala Jail, a NAB team comprising personnel from Rawalpindi and Lahore took him into custody once again. Subsequently, the NAB team promptly presented Elahi before a local court, where they sought a transitory remand. The court, in response, granted a one-day transitory remand of the former Punjab chief minister. The duty judge directed that the accused be presented before the accountability court in Lahore on Tuesday. The NAB team later left for Lahore. Elahi is among the individuals charged in a bribery case involving the acceptance of illicit payments in return for favourably granting contracts for road projects within the Gujrat Highways Division. His co-defendants encompass his son, Moonis Elahi, along with Mahr Azmat Hayat and others. The case asserts that Elahi and Moonis received kickbacks directly from Azmat and indirectly through their accountant, Imtiaz Ali Shah. The case also alleges that the accused parties played a role in causing substantial financial losses to the government treasury, amounting to millions of rupees. These actions are claimed to constitute offences of corruption and unethical practices, as outlined in Section 9(a) of the NAB ordinance of 1999. This is not the first time the PTI leader was rearrested following his release from prison. On June 26, former deputy prime minister was arrested once again after a Lahore special court granted him bail against surety bonds worth Rs10,000 in a graft case. The FIA produced Elahi in district and sessions court, seeking his 14-day physical remand. However, the court rejected the request for a physical remand, sending Elahi to jail on judicial remand.

Pakistan court grants bail to Imran Khan in Islamabad judicial complex violence

The clashes erupted when Khan attended a much-awaited hearing in the Toshakhana corruption case. During the confrontation, over 25 security personnel were injured.

ISLAMABAD: Former prime minister Imran Khan got a major relief on Tuesday when an anti-terrorism court in Pakistan granted him bail till June 8 in eight cases related to violence that erupted at the Judicial Complex here in March.

The cases were registered in different police stations of Islamabad against 70-year-old Khan after clashes erupted between police and his supporters when the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party chief appeared before a court in the Judicial Complex on March 18.

The clashes erupted when Khan attended a much-awaited hearing in the Toshakhana corruption case. During the confrontation, over 25 security personnel were injured.

On Tuesday, Khan travelled from Lahore to the capital, Islamabad to appear before the anti-terrorism court located in the Judicial Complex.

After hearing arguments by lawyers, the court granted him bail in eight cases till June 8, his party said in a message.

Established in 1974, the Toshakhana is a department under the administrative control of the Cabinet Division and stores precious gifts given to rulers, parliamentarians, bureaucrats, and officials by heads of other governments and states and foreign dignitaries.

Khan, the cricketer-turned-politician, was disqualified by the Election Commission of Pakistan in October last year for not sharing details of the sales.

Meanwhile, an accountability court in Islamabad stopped the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) from arresting PTI chief Imran Khan’s wife Bushra Bibi in the Al-Qadir Trust case by granting her interim bail.

The former first lady’s lawyer Khawaja Haris appeared before the court and filed an application for Bushra Bibi’s interim bail. During the hearing, Haris informed the court that Bushra Bibi did not receive any notice from the anti-graft body.

Subsequently, the court accepted the bail application till May 31 and issued a notice to NAB seeking its reply. Judge Muhammad Basheer also directed Imran’s wife to deposit a surety bond of Rs 0.5 million.

On May 15, a division bench of the Lahore High Court granted protective bail to the PTI chief’s wife till May 23 in the Al-Qadir Trust case. It was the first appearance by the former first lady in court to attend proceedings in a case lodged against her.

The deposed prime minister is already on bail till May 31 in the trust case.

The Al-Qadir Trust case is the same case in which Khan was arrested on May 9 and hours before announcing his decision to visit NAB on Tuesday, he said that he might be arrested again and urged his followers to stay calm.

“I urge people to remain peaceful because if you get violent, they will get a chance to crack down again. We have to always protest peacefully,” he said during a session on Twitter Spaces last night.

Imran Khan's political future now hangs by a thread

Under any of the references, if a case against Imran Khan is lodged and he is put to trial under any of the Acts, he may face life imprisonment or capital punishment.

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan witnessed one of its worst violence, clashes and chaos on May 9 following former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s arrest at the Islamabad High Court, which prompted his followers to vandalise and damage sensitive army installations across the country.

The violence that went on for at least 72 hours saw mob attacks on General Headquarters (GHQ) in Rawalpindi, Core Commander house in Lahore, Jinnah House in Lahore, Radio Pakistan’s Peshawar office, and other government and state institution offices and buildings across the country.

The chaos targeted at state institutions, and the anger among Imran Khan’s supporters against the military has now been linked to the former premier’s anti-military stance, open accusation and name-calling of senior serving military officials of being behind attempts of assassination on his life.

The Pakistan Army has now decided to show zero tolerance against the elements behind these attacks, terming them as a blatant attempt to not only target the institution but also to create a division between the people and the army.

During a special session of the Core Commanders Conference held at GHQ Rawalpindi, Chief of Army Staff General Syed Asim Munir was given a comprehensive briefing about incidents of violence and mob attacks on 9th May onwards as commanders expressed their anguish over the condemnable incidents.

The Core Commanders Conference mutually agreed to not show any restraint if such an attempt as that of 9th May is repeated in the future.

It also decided to show zero tolerance against all culprits behind the attacks, which the armed forces termed as “foreign supported and internally instigated, promoted and provoked against military installations and public/private properties”.

The army, without naming Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and its chief Imran Khan, has hinted towards arresting all of its supporters, instigated and provoked by him, which has led to the attacks against the military installations, and initiating trial against them under the anti-terrorism laws of the country.

The army has also decided to initiate the Army Act and the Official Secret Act in some cases as well going forward.

It claimed that it has irrefutable evidence to establish that the attacks were part of a pre-planned strategy, implemented immediately after Khan’s arrest.

“The forum was briefed that a well-coordinated arson plan involving desecration of Shuhada pictures, monuments, burning down of historical buildings and vandalism of military installations was executed to malign the institution and provoke it towards giving an impulsive reaction,” the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement.

“These attacks and attempts were made to create distortions in this regard are absolutely futile,” the ISPR added.

It is a known fact that Imran Khan has been very vocal about naming and shaming the army chief as well as other senior serving army and intelligence officials.

In his statement on May 9 before leaving for Islamabad from his Zaman Park residence in Lahore, he had lashed out at the military establishment yet again warning them of being ready for the consequences if any attempts to arrest him are made.

Now, with the army geared up to not spare the narrative and respond to it with legal cases, Imran Khan’s coming days may just be numbered and he may be booked and trialled under the same references.

Under any of the references, if a case against Imran Khan is lodged and he is put to trial under any of the Acts, he may face life imprisonment or capital punishment.

(2/11) “Suddenly the science and literature books disappeared from our home. They were replaced by Islamic books, all of which were written by men. The rules were tightened. Our dress code became very strict. And if I ever tried to question these things, I could be hit in front of my younger siblings. More and more matchmakers began coming to our home, and the pressure to marry became relentless. I tried my best to focus on my studies. My aunt was working as a private tutor, and she would sometimes help me prepare for exams, so most afternoons I would escape to her house. It was there that I first met Waqas. He was one of my aunt’s students. He had a patchy beard, and an untucked shirt, and a shy demeanor. He seemed serious about his studies, but there was a mischievous smile. One afternoon I noticed that he had given my aunt a book. It was a very bad book, some cheap teenage romance. So when he returned for his next session, I offered him something more refined. My choice was a famous novel called Raja Gihd, and I suggested that we read it together. The book was about a girl who falls in love with her teacher. We agreed to read ten pages at a time, and afterward we would meet to discuss. During these meetings we would talk about much more than the story. We’d discuss life, and society, and human emotions. It became the only chance I had to exchange my ideas with anyone. And Waqas took my opinions seriously. Sometimes he’d bring his diary with him, where he’d copied a lot of poems from different poets. Occasionally he’d read them out loud to me. Many were philosophical. And some were romantic, but I never felt like I was being courted. Perhaps because he was a year younger than me. Or maybe because he was from a different caste. But it never seemed possible for the two of us to ever be more than friends. After several months of meeting together, Waqas had to leave for college in Lahore. At the end of our final discussion, he asked me to write a poem in his diary. It was the first poem I’d ever written. And it was a poem of departure. I wouldn’t see Waqas again for 1.5 years.”

WORLD HUMAN RIGHTS DAY 2019

Human Rights Day is celebrated annually across the world on 10th December. The date was chosen to honour the United Nations General Assembly’s adoption and proclamation, on 10th December 1948, of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the first global enunciation of human rights. The commemoration was established in 1950, when the General Assembly invited all states and interested organizations to celebrate the day as they saw fit. Many governmental and nongovernmental organizations active in the human rights schedule special events to commemorate the day.

Human rights may be said to be those fundamental rights to which every man or woman inhabiting in any part of the world should be deemed entitled merely by virtue of having been born a human being.

WORLD HUMAN RIGHTS DAY,2019:-

71 st Human Rights Day will be celebrated this year on 10th December Tuesday. The country will commemorate human rights month under the theme:- “The Year Of Indigenous Languages: promoting And Deepening A Human Rights Culture”

UNIVERSAL DECLARATION:-

Since human rights cover people all over the world irrespective of their social, cultural, racial, ethnic, religious and communal differences, it is natural that they have become a matter of international and multinational concern in the present century.

The charter of the United Nations framed in 1945 underscored the principle of individual human rights. The merit of the charter is that it affirms faith in fundamental human rights, in the worth and dignity of the human person, in equality of persons of all nations and its resolve to promote social progress and better standard of life.

On 16 February, 1946, the Security Council of the United Nations set up a Commission on Human Rights under the chairmanship of Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt to prepare the text of the Declaration. The Commission did its job and the General Assembly adopted it on 10 December, 1948. Known as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, it contains a long list of civil or social, political, economic and cultural rights as equality before law, protection against arbitrary arrest and detention, right to a fair trial, freedom of thought and expression, freedom of peaceful assembly and association, freedom of conscience and religion, right to own property, prohibition of slavery and inhuman treatment, right to public hearing, right to own nationality, right to marry and keep family, right to vote, right to social security, right to free education and free participation in cultural life, right to rest and leisure, and above all, prohibition of any activity, against this Declaration.

Three More Declarations:-

On 16 December, 1966 the General Assembly of the UN adopted three more declarations in the form of International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, International Covenant On Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and International Covenant on the Elimination of all forms of Racial Discrimination. It was a. positive step in the direction of giving protection to the case of human rights. The covenant on economic, social and cultural rights imposed on the member-states the duty to submit reports on their progress in the protection of human rights. Human Rights in India Fundamental human rights in the sense of civil liberties with their modern attributes and overtones are, however, a development more or less parallel to the growth of constitutional government and parliamentary ‘institutions from the time of British rule in India. Right from its inception in 1885, the Indian National Congress  struggled for the rights of the Indian people. The early moderate leaders appreciated British sense of justice and fair play, they also criticized the alien rule for depriving the Indian people the rule of law that prevailed in England.

In 1897, Surendranath Banerjee denounced the British rule on the ground that while it prided itself on the Magna Carta and the Habeas Corpus, it denied to the Indian people the inestimable right to personal liberty. At the call of Mahatma Gandhi, the people of the country went on strike against the Rowlett Act of 1919 that became the cause of the tragedy of the Jallianwala Bagh of Amritsar on 13 April 1919. All great leaders like Motilal Nehru, Lala Lajpat Rai, Madan Mohan Malaviya, Jawaharlal Nehru, Subhash Chandra Bose, C.R. Das etc. strongly argued for the rights of the Indian people and condemned the British rule for depriving the people of the rule of law in our country:’

The list of fundamental rights to be incorporated into the Constitution of India found its conspicuous place in the Nehru Report of 1928. It included (a) personal liberty, (b) freedom of conscience and profession and practice of religion subject to public order or morality, (c) equality before law, (d) right of every citizen to Habeas Corpus, (e) no discrimination in matters of public employment, (f) equality of rights in matters of sex etc. The declaration of complete independence adopted by the Congress at its Lahore session in 1929 said: “It is the inalienable right of the Indian people, as of any other people, to have freedom and to enjoy the fruits of their toil and have the necessities of life so that they may have full opportunities of growth.

The adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the U.N. General Assembly in December 1948 had its definite impact on the making of the Indian Constitution. The makers incorporated a host of such rights in part III of the Constitution relating to equality, freedom, non-exploitation, religion, education and culture, and constitutional remedies.

Moreover, the Constitution has empowered the Supreme Court and High Courts to issue prerogative writs for the Protection and enforcement of these rights termed as Fundamental Rights’. Some rights, which could not be accommodated in Part III, have been put into Part IV of the 

Constitution termed as Directive Principles of State Policy. The point of distinction between the two parts is that while the former is mandatory and justifiable, the latter is not. It is well commented: “The two parts of the Constitution-the Fundamental Rights and the Directive Principles between them covered almost the entire field of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights” (Parliament and Human Rights by S.C. Kashyap)

NATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION:-

National Human Rights Commission However, the most important development in this regard is the creation of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) on 12 October 1993. In pursuant of the implementation of one of the promises given in the election manifesto of 1991 and also keeping in view the urgency of the matter in the light of wild allegations and propaganda of Pakistan and America, including some non-governmental agencies as the Amnesty International and the Asia Watch about gross violation of human rights in Punjab, Kashmir, and some other parts of the country, the Government of India thought it expedient to set up such a body in the national interest through an ordinance promulgated by the President on 28 September 1993 which became an Act in the following year. This body has a statutory status, given by the protection of Human Rights Act,1993(TPHRA)

FUNCTION:-

1. The functions of the NHRC are as under:

2. To inquire on a petition presented to it by a victim or any person in this behalf into complaints of violation of human rights or abetment thereof, or negligence in the prevention of such violation by a public servant;

3. To intervene in any proceedings involving any allegation of violation of human rights pending before a court with the approval of such courts;

4. To visit, under intimation to the state government, any jailor any other institution under the control of the state government, where persons are detained or lodged for purposes of treatment, reformation or protection to study the living conditions of the inmates and make recommendations thereon;

5. To review the safeguards provided under the Constitution or any law for the time being in force for the protection of human rights and recommend appropriate remedial measures;

6. To review the factors, including use of terrorism, that inhabits the enjoyment of human rights and recommend appropriate remedial measures; The Commission has the power to visit or enter a place for the seizure or recovery of some important documents or information as it deems necessary for the purposes of prosecuting an inquiry and it may request the services of the staff of Central or state governments.

No doubt, the establishment of the NHRC is a bold and momentous step taken by Government of India. Nevertheless, a critic may fear that it would not be able to discharge its functions effectively due to some limitations.

First, it cannot look into the complaints of torture and harassment done by the armed forces. Second, it has not been Provided with its own machinery of investigation. For such a task, it Would depend upon the staff of the Central and state governments who may not be prompt and impartial in helping, in a situation where their brethren are involved. Last, in the main, its functions are of a recommendatory nature. It may approach the Central or state government or the Supreme Court and the High Courts without having the power to do something of its own, in according relief to the victims of atrocities.

Indisputable is the fact that India’s stand in respect of the protection of human rights has been quite straightforward. Several non-governmental organizations like Amnesty International and Asia Watch operating at the international level sought to tarnish it for the sake of their vested interests. Ours is an open society with a democratic system. For this reason such atrocities cannot be done in our country by the police, paramilitary and military forces as we find in China and Pakistan. Stray cases of ‘State terrorism’ may not be ruled out. It is a fact that some authorities misused the provisions of the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (prevention) Act. However, the draconian law lapsed on 23 May 1995. At the same time, it should not be lost sight of that the excesses were only stray cases.

Thus, we may safely endorse the view of the Nobel Peace Laureate, H.B. the Dalai Lama: “In India there may be stray outbursts of human rights violations. These tend to occur in comparatively isolated pockets where extremists and terrorists themselves engage in acts that violate human rights. There is genuine freedom in this country and a healthy flourishing democracy, India can truly take pride in this.”

-:HUMAN RIGHTS DAY QUOTES:-

“The real struggle for us is for the citizen to cease to be the property of the state.”

“Many of us persons of the tinted persuasion care about human rights and artistic freedom too.”

“To deny people their human rights is to challenge their very humanity.”

“The rights of every man are diminished when the rights of one man are threatened.”

“Laws are silent in times of war.”

“Knowledge makes a man unfit to be a slave.”

“Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must — at that moment — become the centre of the universe.”

“Until justice rolls down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream.”

“We are just two people. Not that much separates us. Not nearly as much as I’d thought.”

“No matter how pathetic or pitiful, every human is fated to have one moment in their lives in which they can change their own destiny.”

“Please use your freedom to promote ours.”

“The only way to make sure people you agree with can speak is to support the rights of people you don’t agree with.”

“Today’s human rights violations are the causes of tomorrow’s conflicts.”

“We believe that human rights transcend boundaries and must prevail over state sovereignty.”

“An injustice committed against anyone is a threat to everyone.”

From the League Against Imperialism. Transcribed from the pamphlet found here. “Appeal against the Imperialist Terror in Palestine”, signed October 1929.

Appeal against the Imperialist Terror in Palestine

Release Hamdi al Husseini!

Hamdi al Husseini, a member of the General Council of the League against Imperialism, and Kamal al Dashani, one of his supporters, who have been is gaol in Jaffa since the 27th August without having been subjected to any preliminary exam­ination, have been on hunger-strike since the first week in October.

The imperialist terror is raging in Palestine. Hundreds have been arrested. The Exceptional Court in Haifa has sentenced 45 peasants to a total of 185 years hard labour. The peasants were accused of having taken part in a march on Haifa without however, any collisions having taken place. The courts have already passed over a thousand years hard labour, although the great trials in Jerusalem, Hebron, Saffed etc. have not yet taken place. The prisons are are so overcrowded that new prisoners are being sent to forced labor camps where they are subjected to brutal maltreatment.

How could Hamdi al Husseini be spared by this new wave of terror instituted by the MacDonald government! Hamdi al Husseini, the leader Of the left-wing of the Arabian National Congress, had the courage to take part in an executive session of the League against Imperialism in Cologne. Even then, all material, letters and even books which he had brought back with him were confiscated and he was placed under sharp police surveillance.

Hamdi al Husseini was the man who announced in his speeches and in his writings that the struggle against British im­perialism could only be carried on if the working population whether Mahomedan, Christian or Jew united in a merciless struggle against imperialism and against its agents, the Zion­ists and the Arabian rich landowners.

On the 12th August 1929 the Arabian youth of Palestine met in congress. The remarks of Hamdi el Husseini were greeted with enthusiasm and an active struggle against imperialism was made a part of the program. The result was that he and his friends were even more closely watched. Detect­ives slept on his doorstep so that his own house was turned into a prison.

Then the insurrection broke out on the 23rd August in Jerusalem, the two supports of imperialism, the Zionists and the feudalist Arabian elements, tried to make a Wailing Wall incident out of it.

On the 24th August Hamdi al Husseini appeared openly in Jaffa and declared that the time had come for the working Mohammedans and the working Jews to unite against the Mandate system. With the annulling of the Mandate, the Balfour Declaration would (?) be abolished.

This was sufficient ground to arrest Hamdi al Husseini! Instead of the revisionist-Zionist trouble-makers, instead of the reactionary feudalist Arabian elements who had attempted to exploit the just indignation of the Arabian masses in their own interests, the man was arrested who had done everything possible to enlighten the Arabian population concerning the real character of the events. Hamdi al Husseini was placed in prison on the charge that he had appealed to the population to carry out a revolution against the existing government.

Hamdi al-Husseini has now been in prison for two months. The arrest warrant has now been lengthened b the government for the fourth time. He is being treated like a common criminal instead of as a political prisoner. If he is taken outside the prison for any purpose, then he is loaded with chains.

The protests of the Arabian organisations in all parts of the country, and the indignation of the Arabian masses have been ineffectual against this great brutality. Lawyers have tried to secure Hamdi al Hussaini's release on bail, but without success. The government refuses to negotiate at all. The lawyers were finally compelled to announce that imperialist might was stronger than right. Under these circumstances Hamdi al Hussaini and Kemal al Dashani have declared a hunger-strike. Husseini declares:

"We have decided to go on hunger-strike as a protest against the brutal treatment to which we have been subjected and as a protest against the fact that we have not yet been examined. "The government apparently doesn't care whether we live or die. On our part we have determined to continue the strike until we have secured our freedom. If we lose our lives, then you know that the Mandate Power with its brutal system has killed us and not lack of food.

In the meantime about 80 communists who were for the most part imprisoned in connection with the revolutionary events, have put forward a series of demands such as the abolition of the humiliating prison regime, a special regime for political prisoners, abolition of handcuffs for the prisoners, for political offences, etc. Should these demands not be granted, then these prisoners will also go on hunger-strike.

In Palestine, India and Ireland the prisons are overflowing with political prisoners who have fought for the independence of their countries. In Lahore and Meerut in India the prisoners have gone on hunger-strike in order to compel the MacDonald government to institute improved treatment for the political prisoners. The young Indian national revolutionary Jatindranath Das has paid for his loyalty to his oppressed brothers with his life. Macdonald's "Labour government" was always prepared to let revolutionaries die in its gaols.
