Senate of Pakistan has adopted a unanimous resolution for the early recovery of
all the missing persons of FATA, Karachi and Baluchistan; meanwhile the
resolution was moved by Naib Amir Jamaat-e-Islami Professor Senator
Khurshid Ahmed.
The resolution stated that the Senate expresses its deep concern over
the issue of missing persons, involving persistent violation of
Articles 9 and 10 of the Constitution.
It said while acts of terrorism are unforgivable, every citizen is
innocent till proved guilty through due process of law. The abduction,
arbitrary lifting and forced disappearance of any human being is illegal
and intolerable in a civilized society.
The Senate resolved that the Federal and Provincial governments
should take immediate and effective steps to ensure the speedy recovery
and release of all such persons, except those who are charged under the
law of the land for any offence.
The Senate also demanded that detailed report in this respect should
be presented to the House as early as possible. The House will now meet
today (Thursday) at 10:30 am. SANA
