THIS refers to Zahid Hussain’s article ‘Death by stealth’ (Aug 12). He talks about one political party (of Karachi mainly) as being a victim of extra-judicial executions and in a very well-reasoned and documented piece he tells us why it is so.

He lays blame, and rightly so, on a failed criminal justice system. He has struck all the correct notes, said all the correct things, but one thing is missing — that is how to rectify a failed criminal justice system.

I am not a lawyer, and probably neither is Zahid Hussain, but what can be said safely enough is that a team of judicial experts should study our books of criminal justice and the PPC and suggest changes to it that would bring the books abreast with modern day living.
