Re: Justice for Shahzaib Khan

@Jolie

The fact he initially got away is totally irrelevant. The fact is when the ‘system’ got activated, even Zardari couldn’t pardon the murderer nor his sister could get the Talpur goons released. You can bash the overall system as much as you like but there’s no denying that system was certainly working in the favour of this particular case. That’s all we need at the end of the day - the system to start working, make a start somewhere with someone.

I’d say you said exactly what I was trying to say, on what basis people are supporting this completely made up and thoroughly disgusting diyat deal? If this guy can get away with murdering a high profile rich kid who had politicians and elites fighting for this case, what hope do his future victims have? Who will stand up if that bstard decides to rape a poor man’s daughter in broad day light or if he throws acid on a woman’s face or shoots a bystander just for sadist pleasure?

Shahzaib’s case was and still is an epic golden opportunity to set a much needed precedent for justice and equality. I just hope that the civil society doesn’t lose hope and keep the momentum going. The world famous British and American judicial system have been through worse phases.

PS: It’s unfair to compare Criminal law with Civil.

fine mohthrama…you do have a point that the system was working but you do forget quiet conveniently that:

1)first, the system started to work after chief justice took the notice..before that our system let shahrukh ran to dubai…i mean how weird is that? plus initially the police was refusing to register the FIR…so a lot happened on judicial front because our chief justice took the notice

2. second, this case became a hot issue amid social media/facebook and what not…a lot was at stake and our corrupt system had to disguise itself to avoid severe public back-lashing

3)third… the corrupt system eventually kicked back…sharia intervention into western juridical system will always create confusion and in some cases will create exploitable cracks because of wrong interpretation of sharia laws..remember sharia laws are not up for parliament debate f and hence are subjected to scholars’ interpretation

4)forth…forget the sharia system for a second…even in normal circumstances, this case was ready to be re-appealed in next 7 days and i am sure it would have gone to supreme court as well and would have taken a long time

5. and last but not least…you are not ready to believe the extent of threatening environment in which shazeb family was living for last 10 months..so what can i say…it will break anyone…you asked for proof…here is one..shahzeb sister revealing amount of stress and threats they received
