Families of APS martyrs approach CJP over Ehsanullah Ehsan's reported escape

[DAWN] Families of students martyred during the Army Public School (APS) massacre on Thursday approached Chief Justice of Pakistain Gulzar Ahmed over the reported escape of former Tehrik-e-Taliban
Taliban

...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
Pakistain (TTP) front man Ehsanullah Ehsan

...formerly the front man for the Pak Taliban, then the lips and tongue of the Jamaatul Ahrar splinter group in Mohmand Agency...
In their application, a copy of which is available with Dawn.com, the families of 15 students said: "We the families of Shuhada-e-APS are under severe shock and completely traumatised after hearing of the said news of release/fleeing of the known terrorist and spokesperson of TTP from the custody of the army along with his family after spending three years with them. The cruel terrorist has already confessed [to] the gruesome attack on [APS], killing 147 students and staff and many more terrorist incidents in the country."

In the application, the parents questioned how the former holy warrior was able to leave the country. "How could he flee from custody or whether he is released with some conditions," the application read, adding that "what kind of agreement was made with [Ehsan] to keep him alive for three years despite his confessional statement for being involved in many killings of students and staff of APS."

The application urged the authorities concerned to explain "why the state failed in bringing [Ehsan] to justice".

#1 It's not surprising. I was in the 'Stain recently. Everything is for sale right now. More so than was six years ago, when I last visited. You could buy a mullah to deliver a generic fatwa then. Now, you can buy a bloody suicide bomber.

It's cheaper too. An AK 47 for $70, an IED for a little more than twice that. And it's like a garage sale of bureaucrats and cops. Judges are somehow the only upstanding citizens right now. Maybe they're being watched closely. Imran cannot control anything right now; people are really wondering how it's running at all. The Baloch rebels and others are tearing them new ones, and they're actually begging Turkey to send some guys over. Our guess is, the ISIS will try to come in through that route.

I predict, in the coming decade the disintegration of the 'Stain is imminent.

#3 I can't presume so much. Beyond the creation of 3-4 separate states and intense muslim calvinball I can't say. But their military-theocracy combine was the only thing keeping things together. It's failing now, thanks to foreign pressure and the need to act mature for their several sugar daddies. We're doing our best too.

#4 Scratch that last. We can do much better.

#6 Totally separate - before I forget, and should I depart this video of tears before my fingertips can reach my keyboard, here's a link to something I think you'll enjoy and derive much benefit from - an amazing Dante expert at Columbia who delivers the best explication I've ever seen of the Divine Comedy. (I wanted to link to it a couple of months ago when it was a propos if things you said at the time, but I missed my chance and the window closed).

Enjoy.
Best,
L.
