Peshawar High Court sets aside conviction of ‘militant’
|
[DAWN] Setting aside his conviction in the erstwhile Fata by an assistant political agent, the Beautiful Downtown Peshawar
 ...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire.
High Court has acquitted a man on the charges of waging war and taking up arms against the state.
A bench consisting of Justice Ikramullah Khan and Justice Musarrat Hilali accepted an appeal of convict Karim Khan of Jamrud area in Khyber tribal district, who was enjugged
I ain't sayin' nuttin' widdout me mout'piece!
few years ago on the charge of being a member of the defunct Lashkar-e-Islam
 ...a group of Islamic bandidos infesting Khyber Agency. It's headed by a former bus driver....
He was later convicted by the Jamrud APA on Oct 25, 2017, and was sentenced to life imprisonment under the Pakistain Penal Code’s sections 121 (waging war against the state), 121-A (conspiracy to wage war) and 122 (taking up arms against the state).
Shabbir Hussain Gigyani, lawyer for the appellant, said his client was arrested by security forces several years ago and had remained in their illegal custody before he was handed over to the then administration of Khyber region and was tried under the now repealed Frontier Crimes Regulation.
The lawyer said there were no specific allegations of terrorism against the appellant and that a joint investigation team had asked the administration to convict him without producing any evidence in that respect.
