Dead or alive all dictators should be tried under High Treason Act

I totally agree with this. Let us not be selective and try all of them, dead or alive, for treason. This will making generals think twice before stagging coups in the future.

‘All military rulers should be tried under High Treason Act’

Daily Times Monitor

LAHORE: The government should proceed against all living and dead military rulers under the High Treason Act of 1973, Law Commission of Pakistan Secretary Dr Faqeer Hussain said on Wednesday.

He told Dawn News that the most serious challenge facing the nation was the prevalence of the culture of impunity with regard to high treason. He said it was unfortunate that the successful completion of this crime saved the perpetrator from punishment because the offender took the highest position in the state. Dr Hussain said that the situation could greatly improve if the courts ruled against such orders, adding that the perpetrators should be punished, as this would serve as deterrence for would-be military rulers.

Re: Dead or alive all dictators should be tried under High Treason Act

and what bout the goons who looted billions from the country? what shall we do with them?

Thats right........lets give them government!

Dictators have plundered and looted this country for a greater amount of time. Musharraf's plundering tenure almost equals the combined four terms of BB and NS.

Its dictators who pardon criminals like Zardari and Nawaz, make alliances with them, help them in their crimino-political career (Hint: NRO). I am all for prosecuting Zardari, Nawaz, Altaf etc :k:

Except that he didn't plunder.

Re: Dead or alive all dictators should be tried under High Treason Act

According to Altaf bhai he didnt... According to people, yes he did, probably alot more than the two combined, just wait and see, excrepts available in military Inc. More details will come out after he goes. Even if we assume he didnt plunder, he gave us plenty of other gifts in the form of civil war, loss of sovereignty, pithoism, destruction of media, judiciary, abduction of civilians, terrorism, crackdown on mosques, corruption, no power, you name it!

Re: Dead or alive all dictators should be tried under High Treason Act

Accross the board is more justified...

Re: Dead or alive all dictators should be tried under High Treason Act

I say wipe the slate clean. Flush the entire political system and bring in new faces.

Terrorism is a result of the jihadi terrorists, who lashed out after losing state patronage they enjoyed before Mush. Also Mush introduced free electronic media to Pakistan. Damn those pesky facts getting in the way of your stories!

Re: Dead or alive all dictators should be tried under High Treason Act

What about the mini-mes who evolved on various Generals' laps?

That might sweep away a lot of the big players and their foundations ala CM Nawaz Sharif and FM Zulfi and his legacy...

Re: Dead or alive all dictators should be tried under High Treason Act

^Wouldn't it be nice to start all over on the founding principles of Jinnah and take it from the top as it was meant to be? With new faces , new ideas, hopefully Pro-Pakistani , and last but not least Patriotic generation of new politicians. Yup that's what we need.

Should I dig out the old posts, before the MQM went to bed with Musharraf, how you were accusing Pakistan of abandoning its soldiers after the Kargil mess, do you even remember who the mastermind behind the great Kargil adventure was? Dont make me dig those out. Musharraf is an expert in terrorism, he was the one who induced it, and he was the one who gave birth to the military mollah alliance in 2002 to secure his kursi.

they evolved under the, if we go by your logic, didnt impose coups, and furthermore, the 'individual' who attempts a coup/treason needs to be dealt first. First hang Musharraf, then worry about his evolutions.

I Agree!

Pakistan did abandon it's soldiers, but are you saying that pakistani soldiers in Kargil were terrorists?

I know right. Kids here are going retarded with this. Amazing isn't it?

Why dont you ask yourself, since you were so anti-military before the MQM-Mush honeymoon, and you were the one posting those videos along with the signature that you conveniently modified, and if you really want to know the answers, please contact the mastermind of the operation, the COAS who decided to abandon the soldiers after his little operation failed.

If all dictators should be hanged then Nawaz Sharif should be one of them because he is a political dictator until he dies he will be the president of his party as many other political parties in our beloved country.

It was a simple question, were the Pakistani combatants in Kargil terrorists as you implied?

And yes, Kargil was a bungled misadventure, we all know this.

Re: Dead or alive all dictators should be tried under High Treason Act

^ And who was the mastermind behind the Kargil mess?
