Pakistan - TERRORISTS’ SUPPORTERS ALSO DESERVE TO BE EXECUTED

According to legal experts, those who provide any type of support or help to terrorists in carrying out terrorist acts deserve death penalty, like terrorists, according to country’s law.
Senior lawyer Saleem Shah Hooti said that if things are viewed this way then supporters of terrorists of Charsadah incident, who have recently been arrested by security forces, will be punished with death penalty. He further said that it was to hear cases regarding terrorism that military courts were established in January 2015 under 21st amendment. He said “An undeclared ban on death penalty was lifted in the country with the Presidential orders after the PAS attack in December 2014 after which military courts got the authority to also punish the facilitators, financial supporter and handlers of terrorists with death penalty”.
“Interior Ministry should immediately send the case of facilitators of Bacha Khan University attack to military courts so that they can soon be punished”, Saleem Shah Hooti added.
Another senior lawyer Ilyas Aurakzai said “although the law of death penalty does imply on facilitators of terrorists but masses need to be educated regarding this because people sometime unknowingly and unintentionally becomes facilitators of terrorists and help the other person without knowing him”.
Advocate Shabbir Khalil said that actions against facilitators of terrorists should be taken according to law and they should also be provided a lawyer in order to ensure a just decision.”
Advocate Mukhtar Ali said “we completely support the whole process of punishing those supporters and facilitators of terrorists who deliberately do that”.
Advocate Jawad Ali said “country’s law is very clear with regard to facilitators of terrorists however, masses need to be provided awareness regarding this”.
