Call to fulfil legal requirements while arresting people
QUETTA, Nov 3: Representatives of the Pakistan Bar Council and Balochistan High Court Bar Association have demanded that the government should fulfil the legal requirements for keeping Mir Ghulam Mustafa Raisani in custody.
Addressing a press conference here at the press club, Pakistan Bar Council vice-chairman Ali Ahmed Kurd and BHCBA president Hadi Shakeel Ahmed said that the arrest of citizens without fulfilling established law procedures was a condemnable act.
They said that Mr Raisani, former Balochistan University public relations director, was a respectable person but the way he was taken into custody on Oct 31 from his agriculture farm was a clear violation of law.
They said that several habeas corpus petitions were pending before the court. Representatives of the PBC and BHCBA demanded that the arrested people should either be produced before the court to fulfil legal requirements or be released immediately.—Correspondent
