Re: Davis holds diplomatic passport: Malik
What papers need to be presented to show that he is a diplomat? Presumably GoP would have been informed about his status before he was allowed into the country. Are you saying that GoP is unaware of his status? After his arrest the GoP would have informed the U.S mission of his arrest and they have issued a statement that he has diplomatic immunity and should never have been arrested and should be released immediately.
Diplomats can carry a weapon so long as they have a license from the government of the host country.
Number plate of the vehicle was fake? Ok he wasn’t using the diplomatic plate for security reason but you cannot say that the number plate was fake.
A diplomat does not have to inform the police or anyone else of his movements within the country and is free to travel anywhere.
Yes you can go out with a gun as many people in Pakistan do, and if you encounter someone that has a gun and you have reason to believe that they will use it on you, and their actions indicate hostile intent then you can act in self defence to protect yourself. It does not have to go to court, the police through their investigation can establish what actually happened, and determine if a conviction would be obtainable or not. If based on the evidence conviction is unlikely then you should be free, actually even while the investigation is taking place you should be free.
Crimes are taking place and people are getting killed everyday in Pakistan. Police is useless in Pakistan so I cannot blame a guy for defending himself in a lawless country.
This guy is not locked up because of the actual events that took place but just because of local politics.
