Interesting how upholding the law has become a priority for Pakistan all of a sudden…where is this fervour for every other victim of a crime or against every other abuser of the law?

My issue is that the principles that they claim to be upholding through the conviction and sentencing of Afridi are selective and convenient, and to me it is an act of international posturing. I get realpolitiks and the constant battle for balance of power - but in this example here, it’s form over substance and reaks of hypocrisy and I can’t respect it and I can’t support it.

This is the sad issue with our mindset. Whenever something good is happened (upholding of law in this case), we complain why justice is served when so many injustices are in the society. But cry a river out on injustices in the society and feel angry that there is no justice left, for the rest of our lives. This is more likely a classic case of hypocrisy than selective justice, which still is justice and must be appreciated.
